At first glance, the kettlebell around the world exercise might seem simple, and maybe even goofy: you pass a kettlebell around your body in a circular motion. Heck, you say, a child could do that. But when you try it, you’ll see that it works muscles you never thought of in ways you never have, and it’s a necessary stepping stone to flashier, more sophisticated training like kettlebell flows and complexes.
The kettlebell around the world, also called a hip halo by some coaches, has you moving a kettlebell around your body in a circular pattern, switching from one hand to the next. You’re allowed to use momentum so that the kettlebell flows smoothly through the transitions, but you have to control it-the weight can’t touch any part of your body (aside from your hands).

| Around The World Kettlebell Benefits |
That circular motion accomplishes much more than meets the eye, and you’ll feel it all as soon as you start doing the movement (correctly, that is). Controlling the kettlebell’s path and momentum while keeping good posture trains the core and a bunch of other stabilizer muscles hard. (What else is going to keep you from bending or twisting as the weight travels away from your center of gravity?) Your wrist and forearm muscles have to clench the handle to prevent the weight from slipping away, so the around the world works your grip strength too.
On top of that, the centrifugal force you generate with the around the world creates a pulling effect that tractions out the shoulders, elbows and wrists. This really feels great, especially if you have years of heavy, joint-compressive lifting under your belt, and can arguably help to prevent injury and speed recovery from other strength-training workouts. Decompressive weight training, Heins says, is often overlooked and very valuable: controlling a weight as it pulls on your joints strengthens them, just as lifting a weight that compresses your joints does.
If you have athletic ambitions, or just want to get good at more advanced kettlebell training, the around the world should be a staple in your programs, as it works eye-hand coordination and balance. Over time, you’ll develop a better sense of where the kettlebell is in space around you, and you’ll be able to make the hand offs quicker and more smoothly.

I appreciate you mentioning how the hip coil is a great activation exercise prior to running.

[@The-warm-up]

Gracias por la información y explicación

[@RLRthings]

I love it when the editors add things to make us laugh.

[@pupnirn-gx6se]

This is good stuff.

[@jennyeckley4710]

Enjoyed this thanks. Was nervous though seeing no shoes on your feet. I would be way to scared to do this with nothing on my feet

[@VideoRandomChannel]

Very underrated GAINS

[@chriscampos7217]

Yeah, I've been doing that for years.👍👌

[@MegaChoo2]

Always play with release and catch in bare feet. Sorry man, had to. Really do enjoy your stuff.

[@liamwepener8316]

I thought I'd do this after I trained shoulders today... my muscles are completely finished😂

[@user-wk6ff8je7g]

I am overweight, and REALLY wide shoulders with pretty sort arms - I have a lot of hard time with the handoff in the back (limited mobility in that direction) any suggestions? I can do it if I bend my arms, but it looks like we want to keep those arms as straight as we can

[@satanlovesyoululul]

Just bend them. However you can do it homie. As long as it feels good

[@user-wk6ff8je7g]

@@satanlovesyoulululI hear ya, that is what I am doing atm, hopefully as I get better conditioned and work on my mobility it will get easier when dealing with the rear handoff

[@ironfistscientist]

I bend my arms to feel a big pump on my forearms

[@bertt1014]

Make this an even more full body movement by doing it on a BOSU. It is great for balance, feet, calves and hips as well as all the other benefits of this movement. We've found it to be excellent for skiers, snowboards, tennis players, cyclists and many other athletes as well as non athletes. Start with a lighter KB

[@Andrew-uv2lk]

No

[@SDSouthpaw22]

Tried to learn something. Your hair was too distracting. Bye

[@bertt1014]

Yes, it's an unnecessary affectation.

[@Xiaoloshu]
