Beginning Kettlebell DVD for sale


For those interested in kettlebell training for general fitness, I have made a DVD which covers all you need to know to get started. It covers the basic moves and variations, safety guidelines, training tips, a complete warm up, and examples of kettlebell circuits and training. I also cover Frequently Asked Questions and have added a bonus section on the Kettlebell Snatch.

The DVD can be purchased for $20 at www.bluecollarfitness.com , under the section "Buy Kettlebell 101". You are directed to PayPal, but you can buy it with just a credit card, you don't have to have a PayPal account. 

A highlight of this DVD can be found on YouTube. Go to the site and put "kettlebell + corrigan" in the search function and you'll find video of the promo and others of me lifting KBs.




New KB Technique Workshops this Fall


There will be two upcoming beginner and two intermediate level KB Sport Technique workshops happening this Fall. The Beginner workshop will be focused on learning the swing, clean, press, jerk and snatch. The Intermediate one will focus on the Long Cycle Clean and Jerk, with 1 and 2 KBs, the competitive snatch, and the 2 KB Jerk. You will learn many fine points of technique and training, things that will put you on the road to mastering these lifts. Detailed training programs will be covered.

These workshops will be taught by myself and Mikhail (Misha) Marshak, who is an expert Competitive Kettlebell lifter from Moscow, who moved to the Seattle area last year. He trained under World Champion and highly decorated Coach and Trainer Sergey Rudnev. Misha brings a huge amount of training and technique experience to each workshop.

The first will be at Level 4 CrossFit in Seattle, Sunday October 26th. Beginners Workshop from 10am until 1 pm, $75 cash or check. The Intermediate workshop will be from 2pm to 4pm. $50 cash or check. 

Directions to Level 4 can be found at  www.crossfitseattle.com

The second set of workshops will be at Local's Gym in Lynnwood, Saturday November 8th. Beginners from 11am until 2 pm ($75) and Intermediate from 3pm until 5pm. ($50).

Directions to Local's Gym can be found at www.localsgym.com

----------------------------------------------

I strongly suggest that if you have attended one of my beginning workshops, you should consider attending one or both if you really want to improve your results with Kettlebell training. If you have practiced and trained a bit, the intermediate workshop would be the best. If you need a refresher and/or haven't been doing KB Sport technique as much, you should come in for the beginner class again. There will be a $10 discount for repeat customers.

-------------------------------------------

To sign up, please email me at  kbfiremantom@yahoo.com  and be sure to put "Kettlebell" in the subject line of your email. If you can't make either of these dates, there is a good chance we can add some this Winter, so you can request to be put on my mailing list to be told about upcoming events. I am also available for small group training, and I can bring the KBs to wherever works for you.
