Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to train using clubbells.  If you don't have access to them, you can use kettlebells or dumbbells.  Clubbells really work your grip and are very top heavy so they are force you to utilize your core to remain balanced and in control.  Also, they are tremendous for joint mobility and are an exceptional multi-plane exercise tool.  Also, they are just fun to work out with too.  Just another different way to keep your body guessing..
