What is Injury-Proofing?

Injury-proofing is the activity of working on yourself to prevent injuries or minimize the risk of injuries. Those activities involve, but are not limited to:

• Strength
• Flexibility
• Stability
• Proprioception
• Muscular endurance
• And so on

The kettlebell is an extremely versatile tool that, luckily, is not just suited for cardio but is equally as suited for strength, flexibility, stability, and other work that helps create a more injury-proof version of you.

Awesome kettlebell strength exercises are:

• Racked squat
• Bent-over row
• Strict shoulder press
• Floor chest press
• And so on

Awesome kettlebell flexibility and stability exercises are:

• Single-leg deadlift
• Curtsy lunge
• Windmill
• Bent press
• And so on

Awesome kettlebell endurance exercises are:

• Clean and jerk (combo)
• Snatch
• Swing
• Other kettlebell combos

The list of goals you can work toward with the kettlebell are endless, if you can imagine it then it can be done with a kettlebell.

Some of the injuries, but not limited to, that one should injury proof against are:

• Elbow tendinitis
• Knee tendinitis
• Tendonitis
• Muscle tears
• Back strains
• And so on

If you’re looking to get serious with kettlebell training and want to increase your stamina, then I can highly recommend starting with the one and only routine you need, THE PACE MAKER PROTOCOL. If you want to focus on strength and hypertrophy, get yourself a copy of PROMETHEUS PHASE II. Either of these programs has everything a beginner would need to get to an awesome level of kettlebell training and see serious results.
