Jul 26, 2011 - I performed my first kettlebell swing sets ever yesterday after having trained specifically with dumb/barbells only and I definitely believe watching this video enabled me to "enjoy" my workout without injury or undue soreness. Thank you for posting.

Jun 28, 2011 - Hi, I have chronic pain in the back of my neck and on my traps from whiplash. I wanted to know if there is a safe way for me to do kettleball workouts? I am hoping to build up my strength in those areas so that I can endure things longer and work my way past this injury. Please let me know. Thank you

Jun 27, 2011 - @mstehle1 nope, you should always look forward, not at the kettelbell neither at the floor

Jun 5, 2011 - my instructor taught me to do the swing with a perfectly straight back and when swinging back to put the weight on the heels and lift the tip of the feet, is this ok?

May 4, 2011 - @mstehle1 Hi mstehle. Thanks for the reply. When I wrote that, I hadn't finished watching your video. I realized my mistake after watching that part about keeping head down. Funny though, I don't see other kettebell swing videos telling you to do that. Even the ones by RKC instructors. I understand a lot of bad videos on this topic... but I don't think this is emphaized enough. However, I also read that some strain in this area is normal when beginning. It's side of necks onto shoulder area.

May 4, 2011 - @ShelterDogs to avoid straining your neck, it's best to keep a neutral spine. Avoid looking up on the back swing,

ShelterDogs Says:

May 1, 2011 - What mistake usually causes neck strain? That's the problem I'm having right now.
