LOWER BODY WORKOUT FOR INJURY PREVENTION

Stay Injury-Free

For injury prevention, build muscle with this lower body workout




This advanced lower-body workout (requires familiarity with kettlebells) is designed not for vanity's sake (though beautiful legs are certainly a happy accidental byproduct), but to make your lower body more stable than ever. The result: You're less likely to turn an ankle stepping off the curb in your new platforms, or yank a hammy chasing after a wayward nephew. Do it two non-consecutive days each week.


GET STARTED: Complete all sets of each move (resting 60 seconds between each of them) before continuing on to the next exercise for women.

    These are just some great tips. I have just hired a trainor and this is what he is very keen on - preventing injuries during work outs. I have had a lower back injury after auto accident claim incident and this will greatly help me in my recovery.

    Just a note: Kettlebell exercises should be performed either barefoot or with flat-soled shoes. Regular runners can throw you off-balance. With the swing, the kettlebell is powered up by the thrust of the hips/butt/thighs -- you don't really use your arms.
