Develop safer, more effective kettlebell coaching by understanding the movement before adding speed, load, or complexity.

Kettlebell Training: Technique, Coaching, and Program Design is a comprehensive 3-CEC continuing education course designed to help fitness professionals teach, progress, and program kettlebell exercise with greater technical understanding and professional judgment.

The course begins with kettlebell anatomy, equipment selection, safe handling, and foundational movement patterns before progressing into ballistic skills, strength exercises, carries, advanced movements, conditioning, and complete program design.

A central principle throughout the course is that the kettlebell is an implement within a training system—not the training system itself. Exercise selection should begin with the client's goal, movement ability, experience, and training needs rather than with the equipment.

Topics include:

• Kettlebell anatomy, types, and equipment inspection

• Appropriate load selection

• Grinds versus ballistic movements

• Hip-hinge mechanics and foundational deadlifting

• Two-hand kettlebell swing technique

• Swing faults and coaching corrections

• Dead-stop and continuous swing progressions

• One-arm swings and anti-rotation control

• Goblet and front-rack squats

• Pressing and rowing variations

• Suitcase, farmer, rack, and overhead carries

• Kettlebell clean technique and forearm-impact correction

• Push press and snatch progressions

• Turkish get-up instruction

• Strength, power, endurance, and conditioning applications

• EMOM, circuit, and density-training structures

• Progressive overload and load progression

• Exercise sequencing and fatigue management

• Beginner, general-fitness, and performance applications

• The NFPA Kettlebell Coaching Process

Course Includes:

• 3 NFPA Continuing Education Credits

• Self-paced PDF course

• Detailed technique instruction

• Exercise progressions and regressions

• Coaching cues and common-error corrections

• Practical programming examples

• Practice Knowledge Check with answer key
