It's July! Which means summer is in full swing and while we're all having fun, we're also off of our routines and just trying to survive! So this month's theme is Travel Maintenance - and we've got a month's worth of bodyweight drills that you can take with you on the road!
Exercise: Suitcase Carries with Kettlebell
Purpose: To engage and strengthen various muscle groups of the core and shoulders simultaneously, focusing on core stabilization and scapular stabilization. Much needed whole body strength when hoisting that heavy luggage!
Who It's For: For the jet setters, campers and adventurers!
Why We Love It: Because we know you hate skipping your movements even when on vacation
Procedure:
Stand with your legs parallel with feet shoulder width apart holding the horn of a kettlebell in one hand
Keeping your spine stacked, core engaged, and elbow packed into your side to keep your shoulder blade muscles engaged, walk as slowly as you can without letting your trunk sway side to side
Walk for 20ft and return back with the bell in the same hand
Repeat on the other side
