I have been using Kettlebells for over 4 years. I became certified in 2003 and attended the first two RKC Level II courses. I also have a Certificate of Completion in Fitness and Nutrition from Education Direct.
What I like about Kettlebells is their efficiency, their return on investment, their versatility, functionality, and their practicality.
Among the many benefits, practicing with Kettlebells will burn fat, improve your cardiovascular system without the need to run, bike, etc., improve your flexiblilty, improve your grip strength, and will help you build explosive power. They will put definition in your back and shoulders, and make you a better all-around athlete.
If you are tired of the gym scene, if you are looking for a quick, results producing tool, if you want to start working out at home, then you should look into Kettlebells. Kettlebells are the perfect workout tool for both men and women. I am available for group and private sessions.
It is mid-February here in Bay Area and the rain has finally stopped! Spring is just around the corner. Is it Kettlebell time for you? Contact me if you are interested in learning more about Kettlebells.
Today's practice:
I have gotten away from "all kettlebell all the time" practice over the last few months. Lately, I have been experimenting with three-part exercise sessions that usually include some form of a ladder. I love ladders - they can be used in a variety of ways. Here is an example of just one three-part session.
Part one: 10 minute stairjog - this is simply a fast pace up and down the stairs in my house with a lap around the kitchen and the living room. Sounds weird but gets my heart rate up and allows me to break a light sweat.
Part two: today I used a bodyweight exercise that consisted of 1 pushup, 1 chinup, 1 squat. I did this in a ladder of 1 through 6 reps, non-stop - a total of 21 reps
Part three: consisted of 1 arm KB moves with a 32 kg kettlebell. I did 1 set of three reps military press, bent row, front squat, sldl resting for a count of ten between each move. I did 5 total sets. I followed this with 1 arm swings 5x5
