At Forteza Fitness, we love the Kettlebell. You would be hard pressed (pun intended) to find a better tool for functional strength and fitness. That said, kettlebell lifts can be pretty technical. Unless you learn your technique under the guidance of a certified Kettlebell coach, using a Kettlebell wrong can be quite hazardous to your health.
In the coming months, we’ll be posting short articles to help you with the basic Kettlebell lifts, such as the swing, clean, and press. Until then, here’s a short video on Kettlebell safety from Agatsu head coach, Shawn Mozen.

Remember: Rule number one of safe Kettlebell lifting is don’t drop the Kettlebell!
