In kettlebell training, there are dozens of movements, but only a handful that form the true foundation. The clean, press, squat, and snatch are those essentials. When clients master these four lifts, they gain access to safer, stronger, and more effective training. These lifts not only build strength and conditioning, they also reinforce universal skills like bracing, breathing, and stabilizing under load.
For personal trainers, teaching these exercises correctly ensures clients learn how to hinge, brace, breathe, and stabilize under load. These skills carry over into everything from athletic performance to everyday strength.

And it’s much easier to fit it all in. ...
