Free Kettlebell Immersion Course, Kettlebell College: KB 101

If you are interested in kettlebells, or already use them but are looking for guidance and resources to help you improve, you are in the right place. You can get quite far studying on your own using YouTube alone. But you have to scour the internet to find the gems amidst the muck.

To save you the trouble, I've assembled many of the highlights here in one post. Think of this as your KB 101 class. Study the videos below, and you will have gone a long way towards understanding how to use kettlebells safely and effectively. I stole this idea from the guys over at the grok.com blog.

There are tons of other good clips out there. But I think these serve as a great starting point. Then it's up to you to explore...

===============================
Let's start with all the free stuff Coach Scott Sonnon has put up on the internet, as he has been pretty generous with his material. This is an impressive library and gives you just a tiny taste of what you get with his Official Kettlebell Foundation DVD set. The neat thing about Coach Sonnon's approach is that he delivers a holistic base of knowledge and practical strategies to not only have you using the kettlebell correctly, but to keep you healthy through compensatory exercise and mobility.
