Kettlebells are a workout like no other.  The best kettlebell instruction comes from an RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge) Instructor, led by international kettlebell expert, Pavel Tsatsouline.  I am proud to have earned my Instructor RKC in April 2007 and my RKC II in June 2008....Most people do not know what to do with kettlebells and the proper form/exercises.  Kettlebells are best learned from an RKC Instructor.  For more information go to www.RussianKettlebells.com to find an instructor and to learn more about kettlebells.

 

 

 

 

Developed in Russia over a century ago, a kettlebell is a cast iron ball, which typically ranges from nine to 88 pounds (marked in kilos).  Equipped with a suitcase-like handle, the kettlebell delivers an intense cardio and strength training workout that can be done in half the time of a traditional workout, while producing twice the results. 

 

Kettlebells do NOT build bulky muscles since the lifting is typically not focused on just one muscle group.  Kettlebells use the entire body 'as a team' through swinging motions that consist of 5 basic exercises.  Once these exercises are mastered....the combinations are infinite to give you a workout that is like no other.  Since being introduced in the U.S. in 2000, the popularity of kettlebells is growing everyday.

Geri 'Ginger Spice' Halliwell

August 2007

 

 

8.21.07 United Kingdom Guardian Newspaper:

 

"In an ever-changing world, there are some things you can count on:  seasons will change, rich people will complain about taxes and Geri Halliwell will change shape. 

 

Unlike her last transformation, though - when she shrunk to near emaciation - Halliwell is now looking healthy and strong and has been parading her six-pack around the south of France in a selection of fetching bikinis.  And, if you believe the hype, her new look is all down to the lastest fitness craze - kettlebells....."
