Kettlebell Swing & Overhead Press Remedials in the Safety Zone

Tall & Half Kneeling are corrective exercises that builds posture & improves the kettlebell swing & press. Why? The position is the pattern that sets up the movement for static and dynamic movement. This means you have integrity and efficiency of movement. When you are off your feet mistakes in movement are more apparent working quads, hamstrings, core, and stability. The hips, the spine and the upper thoracic spine are targeted. Vladimir Janda described this Lower Crossed Syndrome making this movement pattern challenging.
How to:
You’ll hold the weight in front of you and as you rotate to the left or right take a deep breath. If you are unable to move any further take a deep breath staying in that position to see if you can rotate a little further once the muscles release tension. When you take the weight behind you with tall posture squeeze your shoulder blades together to help correct rounding shoulders and chicken neck : if you’ve get ‘1’s’ on the shoulder mobility or the active straight leg raise in the Functional Movement Screen, that means you’re bringing a mobility problem to a motor control or stability workout..
