Behind the Hip Flip Kettlebell Juggling Video

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

Here’s the first kettlebell juggling teaching video.It’s an intermediate move followed by a few combos you can string together.

The behind the back stuff if a bit trickier than most things done to the front, for obvious reasons, but with a little practice you can easily master this move.

In the video I am using a 16kg or 35 lb. kettlebell. And here’s a summary of what I say in the voice over.

Start with around the body passes. Use the legs, arm and the rest to generate the rear flipping motion. The legs and arm generate the power but the wrist is the fine tuning for the flip.

Keep your other hand as close as possible to the handle. As soon as you let go with the first hand you should be reaching for it with the second.

To begin with look at the kettlebell on your side so you can see what’s happening. Later on when you have the move down you won’t have to.

Just practice and you can add this flip to your arsenal.

The combo’s shown in the video include a side-to-side flip followed by the behind the hip flip. And a between the legs pass, to the uppercut flip, around the body and behind the hip.

The advanced combo is a repeated behind the hip flip done left to right, right to left.

Let me know how it works out for you and if you like this teaching style. Showing the move, with the zoom and slow-mo, with the voice over.

If yes, I’ll give you more.

The Benefits of Kettlebell Juggling

Kettlebell Juggling is probably the one of the most enjoyable ways to build strength and get in shape. If you get bored of doing just straight swings or snatches for hundreds of reps why not mix it up.

The benefits of doing so are more than just to break up the monotony. Kettlebell juggling will teach you explosive strength for every angle. In front, to the sides, from low, with arms overhead, and behind the back just to name a few. And you have to use your legs to help with all these moves especially as you move up in weight.

If you think normal swings are winding you don’t know how much harder it is move a kettlebell through all these positions. Because you’re working from less advantageous positions and often at a quicker pace you’ll feel it faster. This means more benefit in less time.

Plus the kettlebell moves on a non set path. With a regular swing, clean or snatch the move follows the same arch for each move. Not so with kettlebell juggling. The kettlebell can and will go every which way. It will improve your coordination and mobility just being able to release and catch the bell’s handle as it flips and rotates.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to get started. Just start with the basics and progress from there. Some moves you’ll be able to pick up instantly and others you’ll have to spend a bit of time practicing.

Its actually amazing how quickly you can make progress in this field. Just the other day for example my friend asked me if I could do an Over-the-Shoulder Flip and catch it in the same time. I had never thought about doing this but with a little practice I had a new trick in my repertoire.

Just add one or two moves each time and you’ll improve big time. With the new kettlebells juggling tricks comes more fun, and more strength.

Kettlebell Juggling Blog is Live

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

Here’s the video to launch the Kettlebell Juggling site. It displays a wide variety of kettlebell juggling moves but not even close to all the possibilities.

In addition it showcases several different kettlebell sizes. Obviously the heavier the kettlebell the harder the exercise. While I can do just about any move with a 16kg kettlebell a 24kb bell will stop me on some moves.

There will be many more videos soon. Some demonstrative like this one and others instructive showing you how to do certain exercises.

If there’s certain exercises you want to see leave a comment here and I’ll see what I can do.

Also please visit youtube, where you can subscribe to my videos, leave comments and most importantly rate the video. Click here.
