A lot of low back pain from kettlebell training comes down to one simple mistake… Letting the bell drift too far away from your body on the downswing. When that happens, it pulls you forward, puts extra stress on your lower back, and turns what should be a powerful hip movement into a strain on your spine.

That’s why I put together a simple 8-minute daily plan you can follow to help reduce that constant low back tightness and get you moving better again.

Here's how it works: The first day, which was yesterday, was a sample of that. We do what is called a prep. It consists of short,...
There’s a certain feeling you used to have when it came to training. You didn’t overthink it; you just showed up, and you were ready to go. You felt strong, capable, and like you could handle whatever you threw at yourself that day. For many of us, that came from sports, the military, or just training hard in our 20s without much thought. Over time, that starts to change. Life gets busy, work and family take priority, you pick up a few injuries, and workouts become less consistent. Now,...
