Train N-E-Ware
Moony’s Bay is Ottawa’s main hot spot for the summer. With Dragon Boat Races, Hope Beach Volleyball Tournaments and numerous other events that take place throughout the season we decided to take advantage of the beach before it got too crazy. We chose the beach for our Kettlebell training for a variety of reasons: First, its the beach! Second, training on a moveable and unstable surface like sands calls for greater muscle recall and stabilization throughout the body…making your workout that much harder and therefore that much more effective….also if you drop the kettlebell you’re not going to break anything…except perhaps your toes.

I have been working with KettleBells for a while but off of my own knowledge. I decided that I should up my game. Two things I have recently done are1: Looking into a KettleBell Certification (WHICH IS REALLY HARD IN CANADA) and 2: I asked an expert that I know very well who has a passion for them. He wrote me the following and I want to share it with you:

KETTLEBELL 101 

Kettle bells are by nature a competitive sport that was established in Russia. Since the unique shape of the kettle bell has been adopted for dynamic movements in fitness. Here are some beginner to intermediate exercises you can use to up your game. Kettle bells require synergistic movement from the entire body. The hips and core is the prime generator of movement.
                One should never count reps while executing kettle bell reps but rather measure in time. Challenge yourself…try each exercise for 30s on 1:00min off then as you become more efficient increase work time and do your best to decrease rest time.  Ex: 2:00min on 1:00min off. Try cycling through all 7 exercises 2-3 times.  Use explosive breathing and hip extension throughout your workout. Good luck ;)
