Kettlebell Halo Variation in the Safety Zone

Kettlebell Halo to Warm-Up the Shoulders Variations
The Kettlebell Halo is a great warm-up exercise for the shoulder girdle muscles, trapezius, rhomboids, forearms and back. The Kettlebell Halo can be done as part of your warm-up before starting your training or for a active recovery in between exercises.

Teaching Points:
1. Stand or sit tall
2. Tip kettlebell upside down and hold by the horns
3. Keep elbows tucked in, close to your body, chin up, eyes forward
4. Breathe deep, engage core, keep hips stable
5. Relax your shoulders and allow weight to rotate around your head.

Note: The closer you keep the kettlebell to your neck the more you will work on improving your shoulder mobility. When you are working off a mat will help stretch out your hamstrings.

Halo Variation: If you sit a lot, you probably have tight hamstrings so an option to stretch your hamstrings take a pillow or Yoga Block and sit on it with your legs out to the side on a Yoga Mat, take a deep breath, hinge at the hips reaching for your toes. It is important not to compensate by allowing your glutes, hips, and legs to come off the mat, pick up a lightweight kettlebell or dumbbell to do you halos as instructed above. Besides doing halos you can also do a Triceps Overhead.
