You may have picked up on the fact that we love deadlifts. They are such a powerful way to build integrity through the hips and core, which are the base of all movements.

One thing we are constantly working on in addition to strengthening the hips and core, is opening up the chest. By learning to open the chest you can do wonders for your posture. In this video you’ll see a great exercise for practicing this. The halo.

You’ll start with the kettle bell bottoms up in front, and as you rotate it behind your head it will be bottoms down. In order to do that you will have to open your chest and drive your elbows back. Stay strong through the core holding your spine tall.
