Ready to become a "BEAST" on the Kettlebells?

Kettlebells have become all the rage now! Everyone gym is offering the opportunity to learn how to swing the kettlebell! Chances are you have heard of kettlebells but you may not know why they have become so popular.
The reason for the boost in kettlebell training it that it gets back to basic training that requires functional, whole body fitness. Kettlebells require an athlete to focus on whole-body conditioning because lifting and controlling a kettlebell forces the entire body, and specifically the "gut", building both strength and stability at the same time. Kettlebell workouts engage multiple muscle groups at once. In this way, they are a great option for getting a whole body workout in a short time.

If you want to maximize a kettlebell workout, get personal instruction from an experienced trainer or coach who has experience teaching kettlebell exercises.
 
Watch the Dynamic Duo swing, snatch, press and row two Kettlebells at once during today's session! Make no mistake, these chicks go hard!

Sick Moves! The Kettlebell Windmill!

This exercise is by far one of my favorites! I encourage you to try it!

The kettlebell windmill is a tremendous core exercise for the shoulder girdle, rotator cuff, trunk rotators, side flexors, buttocks, and hamstrings. This exercise will develop strength, increase flexibility, and develop body awareness in the hips, spine, torso, and shoulders.

To perform the Kettlebell Windmill:
1) Clean and press a kettlebell overhead with one arm.
2) Keeping the kettlebell that is overhead locked out at all times, push your butt out in the direction of the locked out kettlebell.
3) Turn your feet out at a forty-five degree angle from the arm with the locked out kettlebell.
4) Slowly lower your torso until your non-working hand touches the floor or front foot. Pause for a second and reverse the motion back to the starting position. Remember to squeeze your buttocks when rising up.
