Swing to Strong: Kettlebell Transformation Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe kettlebell training. Writers describe the bell in the corner — bought in lockdown, inherited, recommended by a physiotherapist, chosen because a gym membership was not going to happen — and the first awkward swing, usually performed as a squat by someone who had never been taught to hinge. There is learning that hinge: the coaching that fixed it, the videos that did not, the back that complained until the technique changed. Then twenty minutes most days: the simple programmes people actually stuck to, the get-ups, the presses, the progression in eight-kilogram jumps. Writers describe what changed — carrying, gardening, lifting children, posture, resting heart rate — and cover kettlebells in rehabilitation, in later life, and alongside other training. Later chapters hold the injuries, the shoulders and lower backs, and the people for whom the bell was simply the wrong tool.

Who it's for

For anyone starting with kettlebells, people whose back hurts after swings, and readers looking for strength training that fits in a small space and a short window.
