Below, Alex demonstates one of his favorite power exercises, the kettlebell clean and press. Power exercises are a great way to build overall functional strength and burn more calories than isolation exercises due to the fact that they recruit several muscle groups, core stabilization, and great energy expenditure to execute. Schedule an appointment with Alex today to learn proper technique for this and many other great body toning exercises.
