I’ve been a gym rat for almost 20 years but was plagued with low back pain. Couple times a year I’d throw out my back and spend weeks rehabbing. Finally got MRI and found 3 herniated disks in low back. Doc suggested surgery but I wanted to try to fix it myself. The cause was the typical weak core from only doing “abs” and never truly training core. What helped me was kettlebell swings, suitcase carry, windmills, and band twists. 7 years later and haven’t throw out my back once and I’m deadlifting more than ever. Started slow with a 30lb kettlebell but now I’m mostly using 70lb. They aren’t the sexiest exercises but they work!
Kettlebells are amazing for core, I wish I could have fit a half dozen exercises in this video. Swings, cleans and snatches all deserve to be in it for sure.
@@moversodysseyWhat kettlebell size for short weak woman? I want to get strong immediately (2 weeks) like a commenter below, he said he just held a 16kg for 1hr everyday. I’m 1.55cms. What size should I buy?
@@moversodyssey I hope it will take away my beluga belly and friggin complete lack of spine and upper body strength. It’s like I’m all thighs with a slug for a torso 😫
I once read an interview with the legendary boxer Kostya Tszyu. He mentioned when he was young kettlebells where quite popular in his home town in Russia. He said one thing he use to do was pick up a 16kg kettlebell and walk around with it, do a few moves with it here and there, the thing was, he didn’t put it down for 1 whole hour. I tried this and after 10 minutes that 16kg becomes very VERY heavy. I ended up just holding it with both hands to the front, to the back, no more swings or snatches or presses, I was just dying holding it standing there. I ended it at 20 minutes as my forearms and grip died. The results after a few weeks of this? I felt like a Brick House, my forearms became really thick, my grip was crushing, both muscle and cardio endurance shoot up, also surprising weight loss, it literally makes you shredded and wiry strong AND enduring ( I need to go back to that training 😊 )
I loved watching Kosta Tszyu back in the day, always thought he should have been given more respect after retirement but I still don't hear about him much, was a crazy tough and undefeated fighter. I've never heard this story but it's really interesting. Right off the bat it seems like his style, I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you for sharing!
@@moversodyssey 👍 He was called ‘The man with no footwork’ but all good trainers knew he was deadly, his footwork was very efficient and he was a master at cutting you off and putting you at a bad angle, where he then crushed you. Yeah it was in a article by Aussie kettlebell shop called Iron Edge, Kostya was living in Oz at the time so seem legit, plus looking at Kostya’s wide frame, I believe him 😂 yeah Man go for it, it works! Just start slow, by the way man love your channel, brilliant idea, hope you grow more and more 💪
@moversodyssey Huge respect for Kostya! He was a beast. Not quite undefeated, however, losing his light welterweight IBF and Ring titles to Ricky Hatton in June 2005.
@@glynhannaford7332 I forgot all about that loss, I think I blocked it out. Lol. He was undefeated for so long, it's how I always remembered him. Joe Calzaghe was another great one, I think he stayed undefeated though.
@@moversodysseyCalzaghe retired undefeated, yes. Kostya’s son is boxing now and he’s pretty damn good. Tim Tszyu. He just took his first loss in is last fight but the guy was a late replacement and not who he was training for. He was supposed to fight Keith Thurman. Anyways…. I’ve been wanting to ask you, have you ever heard of diastasis recti?? It’s more common in women but I am a man and I have it. When I lay on my back and try to do a sit up, the middle of my stomach protrudes upward and forms a cone. It sucks!! I’m wondering in KB swings and I’ll help slightly fix it because I think I have a pelvic tilt and maybe they will make it better?? I know the best option to fix it is surgery, but that’s not an option. They say exercising the TVA is the best way to pull it back together but I’ve been doing the exercises with no results. Just curious if you heard of it and have any advice. Thanks!
My dude... I'm not sure why are how or why you came up with the overall concept and artstyle of your channel, but I'm glad you did. Yo shit is dope!!!!!
I started doing the farmer's carry when I first saw this video (a few months ago). I do it on a treadmill for cumulative 30 minutes a day, switching hands each minute, 5-6 days a week. I had tried a lot of other basic exercises to deal with chronic pain problems, but this is the first thing that has actually been working!! Highly recommended and thank you for putting out these videos.
Thats awesome, I'm glad it's helped out! And thanks for leaving the feedback! That's a unique way of doing it, I've never seen anyone do it on a treadmill. I may have to try that.
I also do suitcase carry on the treadmill with a 25 lbs kettlebell. I've been doing 2 miles 2-3 times a week for the last couple weeks, swapping hands when I my grip starts falling. I do timed static holds with my 55 lbs kettlebell to keep strength fairly even on each side.
I'm 72 and used to be very sedentary, with metabolic disease, and generally out of shape. About 5 years ago, I started hiking regularly. Then, on a whim, I started carrying a kettlebell. Whew, what a difference the loaded carry made to my overall well-being. Over time, I added more kettlebell exercises, so today, I don't sweat carrying $hit around.
These videos are amazing. As a manual therapist, I recommend exercises, movements all the time and videos like this are such an amazing resource. Thank you. Glad I found you
When I was working from home, I tried to stay fit by walking 1 mile from the local super-market and load up 2 carrier bags with 5 days of shopping and a backpack for additional stuff. If it didn't make my core stronger, it definitely made back a lot stronger.
Dude, you deserve 10 million subscribers, your videos are the best. Found you a year or two ago when i finally got into physical therapy for herniated discs lower back that plagued me all through my twenties, basically crippled unending pain. Thank you for the video, ive been meaning to get a few kettlebells and definitely will.
This is the best and most useful I have seen in recent years on RUclips. Not to mention the clear way you convey each position and the artistic drawing. Simply excellent, thank you very much.
Ever since I got injured while playing soccer, I changed my career dreams and started going into computer science. I've become quite sedentary and my lower back has been a huge problem area for me. I can't stand still for more than 15 minutes without lower back pain, and I have tight muscles all over my body (All my arm muscles, back, and legs). I'm sure it's also because I play a lot less soccer or go out to walk and that I stay in a seat for a lot of my day. I tried these exercises for about a month, and now I can stand straight for more than an hour without pain.
Been training for 20 years, I got low back issues for the first time a month ago, its slowly been getting better doing light stretches for hips, glutes, the back and back extensions and core stability work. I am mindblown as to how hard alternating leglifts are for me. I can do full stack cable crunches with clean control, but mere bodyweight is burning my abs as if I never trained them...
Was diagnosed with spondololysthesis when I was 18. Doc said I can prevent surgery maybe until I am 30. Told me to stay lean and train core, but said, no tennis, no football, no heavy lifting. Started to train Capoeira anyway for 8 years, 5 years was training 4 times a week. Problems got better, fought trough a lot of backoain still. Transitioned to cycling, whilst keep doing basic exercises, basic but hard movement and bodyweight exercises. Now 42, 5.8, 160p no surgery, no pain when I keep up with some crunches and yoga. Always doing a straight push up from time to time to check my core and make the nerves and muscles remember the set standart. My advice, itˋs not the amount of training you put in, itˋs consistancy and muscular balance.
I watch and like all the videos so they keep coming. But here's a comment to know they're appreciated and the illustrations are perfect to follow along.
I've always had a rock solid gut, people hurt their hands when hit it, never knew why till I saw this video, I carry my HEAVY toolbag around all day like one of those kettlebells day after day after day.
Work accident crushed 2 discs in my lower spine. 10 years of pain and laying around. Then i started carrying bowling ball size stones to my house from a half a mile away. 2 years later, i still have some back pain but i can deep squat, horse stance and i can carry about 6-10 times what i used to. I keep a tight core. Push out with my diaphram while pulling in my abs. Never used a liftin belt. I never felt so strong my entire life.
carries single arm farmers carry - hold yourself straight - stacked abs - walk toward mirror - strenghtens opposite side of the kettlebell kettlebell windmill
ill put you on. put a band on kettlebell to make it harder. ill put you even further. put a yoga block in between banded kettlebell (arm) and body. To make it ever harder still. with banded kettlebell i can use 20kg for warm up ez and I squat 455 (205? kg) for yoga block banded kettlebell, it goes to 10kg! almost half! walk 50 yeards, rest. use oppsite arm, walk, rest. repeat.
Former gymnast. At 40yrs old, I did 40 standing back tucks in under 20 minutes, on my 40th birthday to see how tough it would be. Hands down the gnarliest ab workout I’ve ever had. Ever.

I’m just getting into your channel, really like it! This video was a great summary of the core and value of KB’s and basic movements. The part of the core that’s easy to forget, the most basic movement: breathing! The ability to relax the core and breathe deeply while not load bearing, the ability to breathe deeply while under an asymmetrical load like a 1 arm carry or windmill, the ability to breathe deeply while performing complex, multifaceted, dynamic movements such as running . . . Adding the dimension of breathing into the functions of the core changes so much, and really sheds light on the question of what is happening (or at least - what do we want to be happening) in the core in any given movement.
You're literally the first person whose video I didn't instantly dislike when I heard them say LSS. Great video, thank you! Also, like others have mentioned before, the drawings are excellent!
For bodyweight windmills, push your straight leg and hip against a wall and try to push it over while you move through the exercise. I hate ab crunch soreness but love the soreness I have with side ab stuff. Also just the first couple of steps of the TGU is a nice one for side abs. Nice vid, never seen your stuff before. Subbed.
I’m in my mid sixties, love to use weights and will definitely use this routine. I’m back and shoulders are very suspect. The balance of this routine will be a big help as I get older, with or without weights. Thank you!
Excellent commentary... at 61 have been implementing Kettlebells for core training since age 50 specifically these 2 mentioned they are game changers for Healthy Longevity
I do farmer’s carry. Was told to do it with shoulder rehab for gaining strength to do judo. 60 secs slow walk both hands, 16kg, pause 30 secs, 60 secs right, 30 pause, 60 left, 30 pause. That’s one set. Go straight into two more sets. Takes about 14 mins all told. You will be happy once you’ve done it.
the kettlebell Windmill, I use it as mostly shopulder warm up, but I put both feed at 90 degrees to m shoulders and make the same drill just without the body toration
When i was doing physical therapy for knee replacement the physical therapist recommended the farmers carry. I told him i had a 10 minute walk from car to office where i carried a 10 to 15 lb pack slung over one shoulder. He recommended carring it fsrmers carry half inl left hand half in right. So now i work my core walking into work.
Tried these at the gym today. I like them - though I'm not sure how the windmills strengthen the upper and lower abs. I'll have my grab my trainer the next time I see him to watch and make sure I'm doing them correctly. I've been doing the sprinting exercises you mentioned a few months ago and it has done so much for my cardio. Thanks a bunch!
I LOVE the windmill. Sadly, I lost the ability to do the exercise some years ago due to extensive arthritis in my right hip. I got an artificial hip 2,5 years ago, and now I feel fit to re-enter the windmill into my training program. At my peak, I could perform the exercise with a 40 kg/88 lbs KB.... I guess, I will have to start from scratch ie. 8 kg.... Still looking forward to it, though. THANK you for this inspiring video 👍👍👍
I’ve been doing the windmill from kneeling, one knee down, one foot down, just to get started since I’ve had a low back problem for 25 years. I’m glad to see this, I was wondering if the rotational aspect wasn’t such a great idea. I’ll keep doing it and progress to standing. I also have shoulder issue so I like how this engages shoulder girdle. I just use 15 lb kettlebell at this point but it still works me and feels good. Thank you for your amazing channel.
If this feels good on your shoulder you can always do some single arm overhead kettlebell carries as well. The way the kettlebell sits behind the wrist pulls the humorous back into the shoulder socket and opens up the front of the shoulder. It's the main reason I've switched to kettlebells for all overhead lifting of any kind. Best luck!
Thank you for giving us the blessing of your work, my friend. Your channel content is a gold mine of physical health education (not to mention the channel name is hilariously brilliant😂). Thanks again, and blessings to your being❤
My core training day is very similar. I warm up with farmer walks for a couple sets, and do suitcase carries for 30 sec intervals of marching, for 5 sets (i do all sets on one side before switching). Instead of windmills i do plank row holds for 30 sec intervals of 5 sets to challenge anti transverse plane, similar to suitcase carry training anti frontal. Leaves you severely out of breath at the end of the workout!
When doing weighted carries, I’d also stationary carries in front of the mirror still do wonders if you don’t have much space. Use a slower tempo, and raise your knees a bit higher and you’ll feel every rep as well as lower your risk of injury as you can see your form
@@diegopena4773 You could do them 3 days a week, every other day. It depends because they work your traps and grip mostly. They are great to do on pull days or back days in my experience.
Oh man, just discovered this series and it's great! I love the look. I'm also an animator who does this kinda stuff and I love the colors and use of graphics. Well done to all involved! If you ever need some help with the artwork let me know.

But weirdly, more mobile people tend to be stronger. Because its easy for them to use strength in uncomfortable situation/position

Subscribed!!! I appreciate the info, the amazing illustrations, and the lack of BS. BIG THANKS!
I LOVE the windmill.
Sadly, I lost the ability to do the exercise some years ago due to extensive arthritis in my right hip. I got an artificial hip 2,5 years ago, and now I feel fit to re-enter the windmill into my training program.
At my peak, I could perform the exercise with a 40 kg/88 lbs KB.... I guess, I will have to start from scratch ie. 8 kg.... Still looking forward to it, though.
THANK you for this inspiring video 👍👍👍
Thank you for this, I will be programming it into my routine
The illustrations Never disappoint 👍🏾
The art is amazing. The buff guy carrying mom’s groceries got me inspired.
Really like the visuals!
This Artwork is so amazing, has that Graff-Street + Michelangelo/Davinci, great idea to hire this artist
I’ve been doing the windmill from kneeling, one knee down, one foot down, just to get started since I’ve had a low back problem for 25 years. I’m glad to see this, I was wondering if the rotational aspect wasn’t such a great idea. I’ll keep doing it and progress to standing. I also have shoulder issue so I like how this engages shoulder girdle. I just use 15 lb kettlebell at this point but it still works me and feels good. Thank you for your amazing channel.
If this feels good on your shoulder you can always do some single arm overhead kettlebell carries as well. The way the kettlebell sits behind the wrist pulls the humorous back into the shoulder socket and opens up the front of the shoulder. It's the main reason I've switched to kettlebells for all overhead lifting of any kind. Best luck!

This video gave me motivation to train idk why
Bro your content and its details are just amazing. Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge in this wonderful way
Thank you for these insights as always
relly love that you put in a log lift as an example
Solid info. Very detailed and informative. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be incorporating this into my training right away.
Thank you for giving us the blessing of your work, my friend. Your channel content is a gold mine of physical health education (not to mention the channel name is hilariously brilliant😂). Thanks again, and blessings to your being❤
YEA, These exercises will make you strong with many more benefits.TRY THESE OUT.
Excellent work, my friend. Well done.
Hanging legs raises at the end of every workout has done me wonders 🙌
homie with the double windmill doesnt miss a bluemoon daily
im alrdy top tier brother
Bruh I swear your channel is underrated, fabulous and great content. Lots of love man 👍👍❤️
My core training day is very similar. I warm up with farmer walks for a couple sets, and do suitcase carries for 30 sec intervals of marching, for 5 sets (i do all sets on one side before switching). Instead of windmills i do plank row holds for 30 sec intervals of 5 sets to challenge anti transverse plane, similar to suitcase carry training anti frontal. Leaves you severely out of breath at the end of the workout!
I love that offset exercise. No one taught me but it just felt good and did it out of instinct lol.
And another great video !! windmill will definitely be added to my mobility training day.
We really appreciate it. Your content is so informative and easy to understand. It’s greatly appreciated.
Video is well put together and the narration is great!
Thank you very much ! Great video, again !💪

This is such excellent content. Thank you.
Im an elite discus thrower. Super happy I found this channel #newsubscriber thanks for the vid.
Love your content… Definitely going to utilize this info…
Thank you for this video.
Such an awesome channel! thanks
absolutely right on
my first kettlebell at 16 kg... i NEED the windmill.
windmill plus swings? superhero.
Zercher squat bro. Thats what helped me
When doing weighted carries, I’d also stationary carries in front of the mirror still do wonders if you don’t have much space. Use a slower tempo, and raise your knees a bit higher and you’ll feel every rep as well as lower your risk of injury as you can see your form
i really like your videos! you should post more often🙂.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thank you. I just ordered your Kettle Bell poster!
That's awesome, I hope you enjoy it!
Your drawings!!!!! Lovely...
Whats the style name?
Damn! I love these illustrations!
Thanks for sharing. I just ordered a kettlebell and have been looking for different ways to use it.
Best channel ever
Yes! New video🎉
KB exercises like the farmer's walks are some of my favorites 💪🙏
Hi, is it a good idea to do farmer walk everyday or 3-4 days a week?
@@diegopena4773 You could do them 3 days a week, every other day. It depends because they work your traps and grip mostly. They are great to do on pull days or back days in my experience.
Awesome! This is what i was looking for just yesterday
Oh man, just discovered this series and it's great! I love the look. I'm also an animator who does this kinda stuff and I love the colors and use of graphics. Well done to all involved! If you ever need some help with the artwork let me know.
He's a one man show! Isn't that crazy. Raw talent right here. Love these videos. Now he's adding animations too. It's 🔥
