Featured Fitness Content: Volume 64

Before we dive into this week’s featured content, I wanted to introduce everyone to our new Exercise of the Month series that we’re doing for the site. This month’s exercise is the Banded Rotational Kettlebell Swing. You can learn more about this exercise under the online education tab, or by clicking the link here. This is a great exercise for anyone with access to a relatively light kettlebell plus some band tension. I actually prefer this exercise with the band, as it seems to cause a greater stimuli at the hip.

Quote of the Week

In Episode 8 of the podcast, among other topics, I discussed Michael Jordan’s career with WNEP reporter & online personality Chase Senior. Chase had since recorded an episode of his Chase Down Podcast on his lessons learned from the new Michael Jordan documentary, but this lead me to look further into some of Michael Jordan’s career accomplishments.

Anyone in contention for greatest athlete of all-time probably has some advice worth considering. We’re faced with some unprecedented roadblocks at this time in our history, but how we respond to them will determine our futures.
