If you like kettlebell training, and you like pulling pranks on innocent by-standers then you’ll enjoy this video:
Just because you can…doesn’t mean you should…

Here’s a great example of a kettlebell exercise that really serves no purpose other than stroking the performers ego. There are other, perhaps better ways of training your “core” that have a much lower risk to benefit ratio.
I didn’t create this picture, I don’t endorse it and I actaully recommend against. But boys will be boys…I understand but don’t go blaming kettlebell training when you mess up your body.

Kettlebell Training Inspiration
January 11, 2010
Many people have written in and shared their 2010 kettlebell training goals. Thank you very much.
Many people mentioned performing some kettlebell exercise with a 32kg kettlebell, mostly pressing.
Here’s a quick video of Pamela MacElree of Kettlebell Athletics snatching a 32kg kettlebell for 10 reps on her right and 7 reps on her left. Pamela’s goal for 2010 is 20 snatches on the right and left. Do you think she’ll make it?
I do.
By the way, Pamela does what is known as a Half- Snatch or Health-Snatch by lowering the kettlebell to her shoulder. This is perfectly legit. Original Kettlebell competitions consisted of half-snatches and were later changed to the variation we see now.
What’s it going to be?

Every year at this time millions of people commit themselves to getting better or improving some aspect of their lives. Could be career, fitness, weight loss, lifestyle or just getting off those 5 cups of coffee or Blue Monster!
As a kettlebell athlete I have to ask you, what’s it going to be in 2010? Will you press the 32kg kettlebell? Will you get 200 Kettlebell Snatches in 10 minutes or under? Or will use kettlebell training to help you win more medals in your chosen sport?
You don’t even need to have any outcome goals. You could simply set process goals…like “I will train with kettlebell 4 times per week and hit a yoga class twice per week.”
Just setting process goals will move you towards your outcome goals much easier while having more fun during the PROCESS.
But setting the process goals isn’t enough, you have to act. It’s action that counts! The ability to get things done is what separates people who get results and those who only talk about things.
