Get ready for a vigorous hour of compound full body moves! Kettle bell training involves high intensity intervals that will build muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, and unparalleled caloric expenditure. The focus of the intervals change throughout the week from aerobic, to anaerobic, to traditional strength work outs. Each workout is filled with basic primal movements, such as pulling, pushing, and squatting with a heavy emphasis on building and maintaining core strength. The tool itself looks like a cannonball with a U shaped handle-it is simply the best single strength modality ever! Swinging the kettlebell creates momentum, a dynamic lost in static, linear controlled ranges of motion. This dynamic range of motion concentrates on the hips, glutes, quads, and hamstrings while utilizing the core, back and shoulders to stabilize the upper body. In short, we work the body as an integrated unit designed for complex ranges of movement verse a segregated group of muscle parts. You will dramatically increase your ability to do any physical endeavor!
What to bring
- Comfortable fitting clothes. Many people will wear some form of spandex or compression shorts. These provide excellent range of movement as well as muscle stabilization. The bottom line is that you want to be comfortable and have unrestricted movement.
- Water bottle – ’nuff said.
- Though we have some yoga mats, sometimes there isn’t enough to go around so, if you have one, it couldn’t hurt to bring it along.
- Don’t worry about shoes – we go barefoot! If that freaks you out, though, some people choose to wear some form of minimalist or “barefoot” shoe.
- You can get sweaty pretty quick around here so having a pair of leather-palmed workout gloves will help you keep your grip while swingin’ those bells!
- If you require support braces of any type you absolutely should bring them.
