New Workshop Started Today

New workshop this am with 4 students. We worked on swings for the majority of the hour. All four students had never even picked up a bell. Most common problem...Hip Snap, or lack of I should say. Worked on wall squats, box squats (but just tapping the bench), and the clipboard behind the butt (hit the board with the bell). Not bad progress for 1/2 hour. Cleans were next, guys did a great job and worked with a some pretty heavy bells. Had to cut class short with a phonecall from the school nurse....sorry guys, hope you can come back next week for more torture!

About Me

My photo
I am a 41 year old mother of four who is AFTA and Art of Strength (AOS) certified in kettlebell training. I began using Kettlebells in 2004, a year following the birth of my triplets. Once I picked up a "bell" I never looked back. I trained with Anthony Dilugio of Punch Gym in Providence, RI and attended his Art of Strength Essentials Course in the summer of 2007. This past April, I took my Kettlebell experience to a new level and attended a three day "Russian Kettlebell Challenge" in Minneapolis, MN. I met and trained with Pavel Tsatsouline and his army of Master and Senior RKCs. I achieved milestones such as 54 snatches with a 16kg bell and various gruelling workouts put together by the likes of Brad Nelson, Andrea DuKane and Doug Nepodal to name a few. I currently train clients at Gold's Gym in Ashland, MA. My goal is to get people to realize the power of Kettlebells and to change the way they look at "working out" forever.
