Kettlebell Safety

There are a few safety measures and nuances you should pay attention too when working with kettlebells.

  1. ALWAYS have medical clearance to begin a new training program.
  2. Make sure your surrounding area is clear, flat and slip resistant.
  3. Footwear: Barefoot of flat hard soled shoes. Absolutely NO Running sneakers and other squishy shoes!
  4. Live to swing another day! If you are fatiguing put the bell down. If you feel it starting to slip out of your hand, stop, do not try for "one more rep". Do not save a bell! The bells will not be hurt if it goes flying, but you or someone else could be.
  5. Build up gradually using common sense!
