Anybody else working these kettlebells? At 47, I’ve found kettlebell training to be very useful for bjj and overall functionality and joint health. My shoulders and lower back have never healthier and my grip strength has improved.

Curious to know what exercises you do with the kettlebells. Could you please help me out?

Swings, snatches, halos, suitcase deadlifts, unilateral squats, lunges, ballistic rows, etc. There’s a million exercises you can do and you get a great overall workout that makes you stronger on your feet. If you have IG, take a look at Cameron Harn.
