“What are kettlebells?”
Kettlebells (KB) have been found throughout history for many centuries and are recently gaining popularity in the United States. Although you may not have heard of them, there are kettlebell associations all over the world and kettlebell lifting is a national sport in some countries. It is important to note that kettlebells are not a fad.
More important than the tool itself are the concepts and techniques you will learn in your practice with kettlebells. Once you get started, you will find the weight to be exceptional and ingenious in its simplicity and design. Unlike dumbbells or conventional weight machines that are perfectly balanced and symmetrical, kettlebells are purposely made with an off-center handle that closely mimic the kind of resistance that we meet in reality. This translates to an uncanny development of flexible and functional strength. The ergonomic design also enables us to flow as we swing the weight and trains us to handle weights with momentum (See: real life).
“What will I learn?”
Workshop students will learn why there is no better tool for strength, conditioning, and fat loss. But keep in mind that although kettlebells are ultra-efficient, any weight training that brings results requires hard-work. No weight training experience is necessary for a level I workshop but participants should be deemed fit by their physicians. Though you may learn a lot from just attending the class and taking notes, all students will be encouraged to work hard as we learn and practice.
With that being said, you will learn most of our physical limits are in the software of our technique rather than the hardware of our bodies. The same techniques that are going to make us safe will also make us stronger.

·Why every exercise is a core exercise
