A kettlebell workout can make a big difference to your performance on the golf course or on court, your mobility for day-to-day activities or even support your heavy weights sessions in the gym.

By adding these kneeling movements regularly, you’ll unlock better core strength, controlled rotation and movement stability, as they force your upper body and core to take control.

Benefits you get:

✔ Stronger trunk stability and lumbopelvic control
✔ Better anti-rotation and movement quality
✔ Reduced compensations from hips and momentum
✔ Improved shoulder stability and overhead control
✔ Core strength that carries over to sport and everyday movement
✔ Perfect for rehab, deload phases and movement re-education

Kneeling Kettlebell Windmill
Builds rotational stability and thoracic mobility while teaching your core to control movement in multiple planes. Great for shoulder stability and controlled lateral flexion.

Kneeling Kettlebell Woodchops
Trains rotational strength without lower-body cheats, improving coordination between trunk and upper limbs. Excellent for anti-rotation control and power development.

Kneeling Kettlebell Side Swings
Challenges dynamic core stability and lateral force control while adding conditioning benefits. Perfect for developing frontal plane strength and movement resilience.

Kettlebell workouts improve movement and multi-level muscular strength which leads to stronger performance.

Ask in the Gym for a kettlebell workout specific for you.

We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again…this girl is next level legendary! 🤩 The biggest well done of 2026 to date, goes to Alice…28 days of 100 burpees AND 100 kettlebell swings. And it wasn’t even for charity! 😬

Most people moan about 10 burpees…

Next up…she’s got a March challenge up her sleeve - maybe see her at next Wednesday’s Run Club?

What Darren says at the end is so true…don’t be scared to come into the gym or get started…no-one’s judging you and yes, everyone’s just doing their own thing!

Follow Darren’s journey with our experienced PT Rich, to get him running a 5K @parkrun later this year, after his heart attack at the end of 2024.

Twelve months later with GP consultation, Darren is progressing through a structured strength training programme and a gradual walk-to-run plan, to re-build his fitness for the parkrun with his son Oscar.

Guided by Personal Trainer Rich Fleming at Exeter Golf & Country Club, Darren is focussing on strengthening his heart, improving stamina, nutrition for blood pressure and cholesterol, and regaining confidence in what his body could do.

A walk–run programme can be one of the safest and most effective ways to return to exercise after a cardiac event. It strengthens the heart, boosts energy, supports weight management, and improves mood - helping reduce fear around movement.

Every element of Darren’s training has been carefully planned by Rich, and he wears a chest heart monitor to ensure his heart rate remains within a specified safe zone.

Rich explains, ‘I created Darren’s programme following the British Heart Foundation and NHS guidelines for Heart patients, and I spoke to a few heart specialists while creating the programme so that it was not too difficult for Darren to follow and carry out. Although Darren did not have a heart attack due to anything in particular, I am still following precautionary measures to reduce the chances of recurrence and to allow a better outcome through his training.’

If you’re in a similar position to Darren and want to get moving more or again, pop in and see Rich to get started with a free consultation.

Sunshine + green outdoor space = good for the soul.

Just 20-30 minutes outdoors in daylight can significantly lower cortisol levels which means reducing the impact of stress and improving your well-being.

Enjoy the spring sunshine(while it lasts)!
