Check your swing stance!


Question: why is one of my knees aching during swinging? Let us see: shoulders back, hip snap, tension OK, breathing OK… Oops! Foot position? Remember what you heard at the very beginning when you learnt how to perform the deadlift: when you are sinking for the KB, your knees shall be above your feet! The same applies for swing, too. Do not let yourself overcome by the „routine”, check the right starting position, tension (look out that no obstacles be around you) before each exercise to avoid pain or what is worse, injury – that is the way you can work really effective!
At home it can be useful to do the workout in front of the mirror, record the exercises and watch yourself afterwards – you will be surprised! – or ask an RKC to check the problem exercises. Each solution which brings you nearer to the perfect performance of the exercises is useful. Power to you! :-)
