Kettlebells and Performance - 2 Drills That Combine the Bell and Serious Athletic Performance!

For this article I am including 2 great drills that you can implement in order to achieve mind-blowing conditioning and a level of strength training that you didn't even realize you could obtain without the use of a weight room. Read and apply my friend!

1. Kettlebell Full Range Swings: For this drill you will simply execute the double-arm kettlebell swing in a full range of motion all the way above your head. This drill is an exceptional exercise in order to help you develop superior athletic performance and the fitness to match! To execute the drill make sure that you start by performing the proper hip snap motion to create momentum for the kettlebell to swing back and forth between your legs. As the arc of the bell builds momentum allow it to progress on up until it is above your head. For an intense bout try to execute 30 to 40 of these with a moderately heavy bell.

2. Cone Acceleration and Deceleration Drills: For this drill you will simply need a flat open space and a set of about 10 cones to perform. To start, line the cones up in a straight line allowing for about a foot of space between them. From here you will want to stand at one end of the line of cones. For the sake of this article lets say you are on the end with the line of cones extending to your left. Take about 3 strides back from the cone you are facing on the end of the line. To execute this drill it all is about acceleration and deceleration. Start by sprinting directly to the cone in front of you as quickly as you can.

Once you reach the cone stop by decelerating as fast as possible and lunge down to touch the cone. Once you have done this then immediately backpedal 3 strides and accelerate to the second cone to the left. From here keep executing the sprinting and stopping while progressing all the way down the line of cones to the other side. Once you reach the other side then come back! As you continue this drill over time you will quickly see how much your athletic fitness will improve.
