Sounds easy enough, right? I got through the entire thing (30 min) fine, but the next 2 days after i was sooo sore!! Not the injury type sore, but the sore that you get from a kick butt workout!! My legs and butt were so sore, I limped when I walked. It was so ridiculous that I felt so much out of this workout from using a 5 lb dumbbell, I was excited about getting my 10lb kettlebell!!! Love kettlebells so much, great workout in a short amount of time!! I'm totally hooked!!!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341822800827593184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391901441924264417.post-24523550279357472832009-05-18T13:13:00.000-07:002009-05-18T13:13:00.000-07:00I have been wanting to learn more about kettlebell...I have been wanting to learn more about kettlebells since I've seen them talked about a lot lately.

Personal instruction is best but, if you choose to use a DVD then make sure you go through it again and again. Check your form in a mirror. Take your time and re-teach yourself how to move correctly. Its not just about picking up a KB and swinging, pushing, pulling it...and then the magic happens. <br /> If you choose to enroll in a class and the instructor does not work with you one on one first then I am not too sure that he/she is a top instructor either. Once you are in a class setting he/she just cannot watch you closely enough to get you through the learning stage. Everyone has weak/tight spots that need to be identified first. Technique also has to be practiced first. <br /> The good news is once you start "getting it" the rewards are fantastic. Like any kind of exercise really. KB's are so cool because you can get a lot of work done in a short amount of time. That means the fat burning, muscle tightening, strength/stamina building that many people want happen without hours on a treadmill or elliptical etc. They are portable (I love using one outside in a park for instance), and depending on how you use them can provide different results. They are definitely in my small arsenal of must tools.Robert Trochhttp://www.fusionfitnesstv.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391901441924264417.post-59913851241661160142009-05-17T08:34:00.000-07:002009-05-17T08:34:00.000-07:00How awesome!
