How To Do A Kettlebell Deadlift

April 8, 2022

Strengthen Hamstrings, Quadriceps, Groin and Glutes

INSTRUCTIONS: Your stance is slightly wider than hip-width. Toes point forward. From a standing position, grip the kettlebell in both hands with palms down (pronated grip). Slowly bend your hips and knees as you lower the weight to the floor. Maintain a straight line from the crown of your head to your low back.

TECHNIQUE: Avoid rounding forward, looking up at the ceiling, or down at the floor. Maintain neutral shoulders.

MODIFICATONS: 1) Use a lighter weight. 2) Bend less at the knee. The lower you descend, the harder it is to get up.

Virtual Fitness: How To Do A Modified Push-Up

March 7, 2022
The Modified Push-Up is a bodyweight strength training exercise that works the chest, shoulders, and posterior upper arms (triceps). The exercise is suitable for beginners.
INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Assume a push up position on the knees with the body in a straight line from head to knee, feet/knees hip to shoulder width and hands 1.5-2x shoulder width. Brace the core and tighten the glutes. Press away from the floor to prevent the shoulder blades from winging.

Step 2: Lower the chest toward the floor through a maximum range of motion until the chest is a few inches off the floor or shoulders have reached elbow depth.

Step 4: Repeat. Maintain posture throughout. Keep the shoulders from elevating or rounding. Do not let the back round or arch or the hips sag or pike. Avoid letting the head jut forward.
