i’m 64yrs old, i started doing this 5min full body warm up before my kettlebell exercise, i’m using 15.5llbs KB, following some of your KB exercise like, 1-2 arm swing, KB clean & press, halo etc.. i really am thankful to your good advices.
Oh great, I just started with very basic bodyweight excersises, forward lunges, squats and push-ups. But I’m a gardener with old injuries so I don’t have real restdays, causing a lot of stiffness and muscle soreness. I will definitely add this as a daily routine. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Greg,
This is a great warm up, i can use this everytime before i work out not only with my kettlebell but also with my other weight lifting routines.
More power to you
Thanks a lot!
Great warm up Greg. Just like to add that with the side to side swing I would recommend to release the ankle on the opposite side to prevent twisting the lower back too much. What do yo think?
The wrists I tend to let my clients do in a figure 8 (brain gym at the same time!) and I add the shoulder touches: arms extended from the side, first palm up and touch shoulders by flexing elbows, then palms down and touch shoulders as well. So while flexing the palms do not supinate/pronate.
Love your work, you’re my go-to when I need some ideas, THANKS!

Thanks for this warm-up video! I think it’ll help my mobility tremendously. I had been doing so well with the 21-day swing, moving up from a 15# to a 20# kettlebell, when a little over two months ago I developed joint effusion in my knee (aka “water on the knee”). I was very careful of my swing form, so I don’t think my doing swings is what caused this, but rather it was an unfortunate coincidence. While it’s still uncomfortable, I have almost all the mobility back, so I was thinking to gently start over with the 15#. I think this warm-up will set me out on the right foot (knee?).

Yes most definitely Patty, you will want to pivot at the ankle when performing lateral swings.

PS – I did consult my physician. 🙂
Should try it for everyday morning workout
Hi Greg,
I’m fairly new to your videos, very much enjoying them. Thank you!
Great, thanks for the feedback Renee.
Thank you very much for this warm-up-video. I always wanted to ask what kind of warm-up to do, now I know.
Thanks Daniela, enjoy 🙂
Really enjoy your workouts.
Thanks Greg. Your warm up routine has become a regular feature of my pre kettlebell workout. It is great and helps prevent injury .
Sounds good, thanks Gordon.
