When did the Kettlebell Circus hit town?

December 7th, 2009

Although it seems that the Kettlebell has taken on the latest marketing buzz in the “fitness” industry, they have been utilized as a training medium in Russian since the 1700’s.

Everywhere we look there are “guru’s” flipping, switching and juggling and practically performing circus tricks with their kettlebells.??????????

Kettlebells are a great training medium and tool. But learn to generate proper movement patterns and focus on the rooted feel to projecting power. Simple, Simple, Simple…….

Stop at Exit 18E and learn.

Kettlebells are NOT square?

October 29th, 2009

Everyday we see “them”…………..
You know who “they” are…………
“They” are the guys (typically) that walk into the gym with their belts and ipods ready to rock their next workout. All appears well in the world until the “workout” begins. A little flap of the arms, a slight tricep stretch and then they load the bar on the bench press with a 45lb. plate on each side for the “warm-up”!
Yep………still stuck in the box!

My client Dave, is nothing like this and today he ripped it up.

My HIPS Don’t Lie!

October 20th, 2009

Coming from an athletic background and being involved in various sports has allowed me to “feel” the various “meshing points” within movement patterns. The kettlebell gives you the freedom to express the movement.

The foundation begins within the hips…….the center of movement generation.

“Feel It” and believe it.
