What are Kettlebells & How do I get Started?
A “Kettlebell” is a form of training that incorporates:
Ab/Core, Cardio/Vo2 & Strength Training all in one tool!
Today, the grand majority of people attempting what they think is functional training have core deficiencies that pre-dispose them to injury when exercising or even when they perform simple everyday tasks. Kettlebell training is excellent for anyone because it is an extremely biomotor-rich form of exercise that improves everyday skills for "real people" and also helps althetes excel in their sports training. With guided use by one of our certified instructors, kettlebells are for people of all ages & levels of ability. They are also ideal for anyone with limited training time because you can get a fantastic workout with them in as little as 15-30 minutes.
