Free Kettlebell Training Information Session Saturday Aug. 22nd 1 p.m.
There is no form of strength training that matches the effectiveness of kettlebell training for developing strength, flexibility and cardiovascular efficiency.
 
Kettlebells teach the user how to use momentum in ways that mimic real life situations that cannot be duplicated by machines, barbells, or dumbbells. This translates into strength that carries over into a wide variety of sports movements and activities.
 
Kettlebell training can also prevent injury due to the dynamic nature of the movements and the off-center weight displacement of the kettlebell. Shoulder problems? Many kettlebell users have reported increased shoulder flexibility and shoulder stability.
 
Martial artists: Learn to punch and kick harder through kettlebell training, and develop jont-flexibility that prevents injury, and will keep you in the ring longer.

Weight loss: Worried about gaining “bulkiness” through strength training? Forget it. Kettlebell training is used by professional fighters and Russian special forces personnel because they desire to be light, strong and fast, not big and bulky.

Free. The “F” word.

I usually don’t use that word because nothing worth having is ever free. But in this case, I make nothing for posting these workouts on my website, other than the satisfaction that my clients are getting way more than they paid for. So, I guess I give these out free.

The catch is in the workout techniques themselves. You gotta have an instructor to get the most out of them. Since they almost always involve a kettlebell or two. If you have been using kettlebells and have had certified instruction in their use, then visit my website. Otherwise, see me for assistance.

I post a workout several times per week on my webstite www.idahokettlebells.com and on my blog www.idahokettlebells.com/blog

Only two spots left for my Nampa Kettlebell Basics Workshop on Aug. 30th. Anyone that is interested would be advised to pre-register soon.

Kettlebell Basics Workshops on Aug. 29th from 1-4pm in Boise at Kim’s Tae Kwon-do school (6418 W. Fairview Ave.) and in Nampa at 16089 Franklin Blvd. from 10am-1pm.

This seminar will cover basic kettlebell exercises and how to incorporate them into your current workout program. More advanced kettlebell users will refine technique and learn to generate more power during swings, snatches and presses.

Kettlebell training creates strength without bulk, iron lungs and a body that is injury-proof. Kettlebell training is a must for any martial artist or public safety professional.

Looking for fat loss? I have had kettlebell clients lose 10-12lbs of fat in one month through kettlebell training.

Improper kettlebell training is dangerous. Injury will result if improper technique is utilized during kettlebell exercise. This workshop will focus on correcting technique to minimize injury and maximize results.

The workshop will be taught by NCSF-certified personal trainer and CrossFit Kettlebell Instructor, Jim Beaumont

Space is limited to ensure proper supervision, and while a limited number of kettlebells are available for use, bringing your own kettlebells is recommended.

Is your kettlebell instructor legit?

How do you find out if your instructor is actually the real deal? buycbdproducts he or she “invent” their own certification, or worse, lie about their qualifications by claiming to be an instructor when they really aren’t?

You can always search the internet. Chances are, the governing body will be able to verify the instructor’s legitimacy. I encourage every prospective kettlebell student to research and verify their instructor’s status and credentials.
