I had been struggling with alternating arms and once you explained the turn of the KB at the top of the swing and I tried it, the change actually became fun!

I’m interested in starting kettlebell exercises at home. My issue is that due to a stroke Seven years ago I have weakness on my left side (not a big issue) and my left arm/hand is paralyzed below the elbow (big issue).

If I only ever do exercises with my right hand, will it cause problems or is it just as effective for the core but just doesn’t work out the left arm/shoulder area?

Or is this a too difficult question?

Thanks a lot

Sure Mike, does it hurt when you perform two handed swings? Often movements below shoulder height can be OK.

Well, it seems to work my back more than any other version. Being a senior, I need a strong back. I’m currently doing 2 back-to-back sets of 15+15 reps with 12 kg.

It would depend on your goals Stefano, is there any particular reason why you want to use that exercise?

Thanks for creating the workouts. I did #1 today and am looking forward to doing the others!

Hi Pat, the arm is chest height and the kettlebell is in the centre of the body and slightly angled in as you mention.

Best of luck with the program.
