A wise man (he shall remain nameless) once told me that I should always be training for performance. At first I really didn’t understand this comment, because like a majority of the population I envisioned a group of athletes training hard in the off-season for their upcoming sport.

Well that was then, and this is now. Training for performance is training for life. Life is full of unpredictable situations and we must be prepared mentally and physically for what we may encounter.

Making use of the kettlebell in your training is a great way to enhance the performance aspect of your training by acting as an extension of your body during movements.

This photo is of my client Rick performing single-arm kettlebell presses (with a 40lb bell) and pull-ups with a 20lb X-vest. If this isn’t an example of functional performance training then I’m not sure I know what does.
