I
found myself so interested that I was almost in a panic to find
one of these strange kettlebells. (Yes, I know I need to get a
life.) Within a couple of days I found Shawn Mozen (Agatsu.com)
in Montreal who just happened to have this miracle weight that
I had dilligently searched high and low for. After purchasing
the standard 36-pound beginners kettlebell, I began working out
at home and practicing the many different and extremely challenging
movements the kettlebell has to offer. After a week I was done
with the gym and knew the kettlebell discipline (I like to call
it that) was taking over my entire fitness regimen.
So
I contacted Shawn about six months later and inquired about this
upcoming Kettlebell Certification. My first question was, "No
offense Shawn, but I've been using kettlebells for six months
now and feel I know all the movements with strict form. Why do
I need to get certified?" After all, I am a qualified trainer
in many aspects of the fitness industry and have been working
out for well over ten years, right? Wrong!! You ever notice every
time you think you know something know one else knows, not only
does someone else know but also they know a hell of allot more
than you do!
Within
the first five minutes of the Certification I had learned more
than I've learned in the past year of research. After the first
day I had trouble getting into my car due to the fact that it
felt like someone had tied me up and hit me with a sledgehammer
in every major muscle group in my body! As a group we worked out
very hard with high intensity and most importantly we worked on
form and how to teach the rest of the country just how amazing
the kettlebell discipline is.
The
second day we trained outside in the ever so popular West mount
Park. Besides learning more form and many knew movements we also
learned that every person in the Park or near it - wanted to know
what exactly we were doing. Kettlebells draw your attention because
any person can tell just by observing that kettlebell training
is extremely effective, extremely challenging, and last but not
least kettlebell training is allot of fun. There's nothing worse
than yawning throughout exercise, aimlessly walking around like
a robot while you complete your workout.
Day
three, or the final day was just as interesting as the last two.
We trained just as hard and intense always learning new movements
and perfecting our form in order to teach it to whoever is out
in the world desperately looking for an effective exercise routine
that never loses its edge.
In
short, the weekend was great and has given me a high level of
confidence that I can't wait to extend to my existing clientele
and whoever else I may encounter along the way. If you're the
type of person who loves a challenge, who is sick of trying half-assed
fitness routines and absurd diets; you are perfect for kettlebell
training!!
Kettlebell
training can be performed at home, outside, at the office, and
in a brief time period. If you try kettlebell training once, and
I mean once, you won't look back!!
