Kettlebell Partner Swings

Kettlebell Partner Swings are a great way to add variety to your kettlebell training program.

Make sure that you and your partner have standard Kettlebell Swings perfected before attempting the Kettlebell Partner Swing.

Also, make sure that you don't put a spin on the kettlebell handle, try to keep the kettlebell handle perpendicular to the ground so your training partner can grab it more easily.

Enjoy.

Aren't you supposed to do a backflip while you wait for the kettlebell to come back to you?

Wicked!

We prefer backflips that land in a one arm handstand but we didn't want to scare anyone. ;)

And THIS, I believe, is why Greg told Angie that kettlebells are a privilege. :) When will the CF ruggers be allowed to come to KB class?

Pamela MacElree said...

Hey Jen

The ruggers can come to any KB class. Give us a heads up and we'll plan something extra special for you. ;-)

"Extra special" ... sounds terrifying! In a good way.

Gregory K said...

Jen let me know when you guys are going to KB class so I can get back at Kate.

Pamela MacElree said...

Extra special is only ever used in a 'good' way. Ha! You'll love it.

Angie said...

kettlebells are a privilege for those of us who cant seem to manage the ever so simple punching motion on the snatch:(

Dear Greg,

I am very, very sorry for letting the proverbial cat out of the bag. If it helps, I have been living in fear of your retaliation for several days.

The long and the short of it is that I feel very, very bad for telling your secret. You see, I like that we were becoming friends. And friends don't tell their friends' secrets. So I let you down. And now I owe you one. Or several.

In conclusion, I suggest that you allow me to make it up to you. Some day soon (perhaps a Thursday evening?), we should all attend an evening class and then adjourn to McMenamin's for a hoot, a holler, and a heartfelt apology from me to you in the form of as much beer as you care to drink... As well as perhaps some wings. Or, heck, even some fries.

So what do you say? Can we be friends again? And, more importantly, will you be my Valentine?

Wait, scratch that last part. Just forgive me, 'kay?

Yours truly,
Kate

Angie, your quote is up.
