Stretching Shoulders Exercises with Kettlebell

The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. This instability increases the likelihood of joint injury, often leading to a degenerative process in which tissues break down and no longer function well. Strengthen your shoulder muscles and reduce the change of injury (such as the rotator cuff) with the exercises found below.

The kettlebell is a cast-iron weight (resembling a cannonball with a handle) used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. Sizes may range from 4 pounds (1.8 kg) to 175 pounds (79 kg). Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand. This facilitates ballistic and swinging movements. Kettlebell exercises build strength and endurance, particularly in the lower back, legs, shoulders and core and also increase grip strength. The basic movements, such as the swing, snatch, and the clean and jerk, engage the entire body in a functional way that mimics real world activities used in military, firefighter, and martial arts training.
