Learn how to program kettlebell workouts that help you achieve your specific training goals, avoid injury, and progress. Improve your technique to avoid injury while getting stronger. Feel empowered to build your own kettlebell workout programs and never get bored.

Read the full description below.

The greatest thing about kettlebells is that they’re extremely versatile. Cavemantraining’s website lists over 400 exercises, from the mainstay swings to clean and jerk and mobility movements. But with this many possibilities, especially for those new to lifting, you might feel overwhelmed. What’s the best exercise for me to do? How do I prevent injuring myself or burning out?

In his latest book, How to Program for Kettlebells, Taco Fleur tackles these exact questions to help readers create personalized, safe, effective, and scalable workouts. This book is organized around various goals, from cardio to power and strength to flexibility, to help you progress, avoid injury, and–my favorite part–avoid boredom.

This volume is written for long-time kettlebell enthusiasts and trainers alike, who will find guidance on pursuing new goals and motivating clients. Beginners, working with a trainer (form and technique first!), will also find this book invaluable for designing kettlebell programs that fit short- and long-term goals.

You’ll learn the science behind kettlebell workouts that help increase cardiovascular endurance, that induce hypertrophy to get swole, and that guard against injury with isometric and unilateral movements. You’ll get instructions on how to conduct baseline fitness testing and track your (or your clients’) progress. Included are a number of pre-designed workouts alongside variations for regression and progression–so come as you are.

Everyone’s path to fitness is unique. Throughout the book, Taco shares his training philosophy of reevaluating goals, experimentation, and listening to your body. How to Program for Kettlebells builds on holistic concepts that anyone who follows Cavemantraining will be familiar with: the importance of good grips, increasing range of motion, and why dropping your ego is key to strength without overtraining. So if your goal in 2022 is to shed weight, shred muscle, meet a running PR, or simply find workouts you’ll love for life, this book is a must-read.

  • feel and look better

Please note: This book is written for the general public with no programming knowledge and is not geared toward advanced trainers.

 

In a perfect world, anyone would learn to program for themselves before they pick up a kettlebell. When utilizing public programs or workouts, no matter how great the workout design is, the person who designed it does not know your ability, technique, training frequency, goals, or the answer to many other important variables that make a program effective. Incorrect programming or not understanding the programming and how to adjust it can lead to serious injuries and to top it off is not effective or delivers the results you expect.

This book explains kettlebell training goals one can work toward, how to program and make progress, training methods, and common mistakes made in programming. The book covers the finer aspects of programming, like angles, load, duration, recovery, reps, rounds, progression, and much more. As with all the Cavemantraining books, the objective is to cover a lot and dig deep while being accessible to a wide audience.

There is no one better at programming for yourself than you. Only you know how you feel, recover, how much effort you put or how much more you can put in. Therefore, once you understand how and why to program your own workouts, you will reach new levels of strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, power, or any other goal you program for.
