I cringe when I see them used at the CrossFit gym or by enthusiasts at the local Y. I'm happy for their enthusiasm, but their form is so poor that they will be their own worst enemy, and ultimately become denouncers of the best fitness tool available due to ignorance and injury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-36704983655584514432010-02-19T05:50:19.896-08:002010-02-19T05:50:19.896-08:00Hey Lauren,

Subsequently, I responded to an offer to get your first "Ultimate Body Sculpt" DVD. Then, I was able to attend a class with three RKC instructors locally.<br />Between these sources, I was struck at how detailed and technical the instruction was, and how much easier and safer (and fun) it made working out with kettlebells. <br />I loved your first video and even had my kids working with me while watching it; very good instruction, well done! I can't wait to see what your second video is like.tnthudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607151075592107967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-62213553322852293842010-01-26T07:33:09.899-08:002010-01-26T07:33:09.899-08:00Thanks so much for sharing, Lauren!

I do kettlebells mostly because of the enjoyment factor (which is super high when it comes to your workouts :)), so it's good to know that they're also extremely effective!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751367514493959872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-34175682432561992822010-01-19T20:36:24.700-08:002010-01-19T20:36:24.700-08:00oh, and Meghan said it perfectly.

It makes me feel badass...I love using kettlebells! It makes me feel badass and graceful at the same time. It has been especially empowering to swing and press my kettlebell during my pregnancy. Learning the deadlift and swing is simple enough but the clean took me awhile and the snatch was just coming together for me before I got pregnant. It feels so rewarding to learn the movements and the results are fast! I am very excited to get back into kettlebells again post-baby and get back in bikinis!<br /><br />BTW, I may be a bit of a snob but the only KB certification I take seriously is RKC. In fact that is how I found out about you, Lauren. :) I wouldn't feel good training or learning KBs from anyone who isn't RKC certified; RKC is the gold standard.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576825150242575711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-47029643535631917802010-01-18T14:29:38.100-08:002010-01-18T14:29:38.100-08:00Hi Lauren,

I did a lot of research before purchasing a kettlebell this past month and was directed by MANY people to get YOUR video for proper instruction and form. I'm ready to start safely and hope to make great progress. Your blog is a huge inspiration. I'll check back in periodically to let you know how I'm doing!Ellennoreply@blogger.com
