This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Since my childhood, I have always enjoyed and thrived in being physically active. Athletics came natural to me. I was blessed with talents of strength, coordination and heart. Now, 25 years later, those God given attributes still remain a part of who I am. The "one and only", my husband, introduced me to kettlebells four years ago. I was looking for an exercise that was intense, challenging and beneficial. I also wanted it to be fun. He believed kettlebells were the perfect fit for me. He was right! I am stronger, healthier and more flexible than I have ever been in my life. I have a resting heart rate in the low to mid 50's. I can't help but wonder how much more of an athlete I could have been had I known the awesome effects that kettlebells have when done correctly.
It is never too early or too late to start kettlebell training. Just be careful, since Pavel Tsatsouline (a Soviet Special Forces trainer) reintroduced the kettlebell to the U.S. and it went mainstream in 2001, there have unfortunately been those who have diluted this form of exercise. They do not perform the exercises properly themselves, let alone teach it to others correctly. You can achieve amazing results with kettlebells, but proper technique is essential! I recently became certified as a Hardstyle Kettlebell Instructor (HKC). My certification comes from Pavel himself - the first, the best. I want to take my personal experience, knowledge and success and share it with others. I want to build a business that changes lives, makes them better. This is the beginning of that journey.
