Are kettlebell workouts dangerous? You bet they are. Here is why and what to do instead.

Kettlebell Workouts Comments

The best conversation online that I have seen about kettlebell workouts was posted by Frank Rumbauskas on his blogpost, Kettlebell Swings: Dangerous and Stupid. That pretty much tells you what Frank’s point of view is.

However, his article drew ire from kettlebell enthusiasts. I tend to agree with Frank, though, especially after I found comments by Dr. Doug McGuff on the topic. Doug explained exactly what kettlebell workouts can do to injure … his comment, in fact, was that it is only a matter of time when (not if) injury will occur.

Fortunately, there are better ways to strengthen back muscles, as shown in the following two videos by Doug McGuff. Now these make sense. These workouts are another in the line of Body by Science exercises that ensure fast, effective personal fitness without injury.

Take a look and see what I mean.
