Just bring yourself and any food that you may require.  We will serve a light snack of fruit and snack bars.

First we will warm up with some joint mobility drills.  We will then proceed to teaching the basic Kettlebell skills and maneuvers.  We will have a few scheduled breaks for snacks and to use the restroom.  At the end, we will ask you to fill out a workshop evaluation in exchange for a free T-shirt.

We will be teaching basic Kettlebell skills including the:

• Power Breathing Technique using the "Power Breathing Crunch"
• Principles of Full Body Tension using "The Plank"
• How to engage the glutes and improve hip flexibility with
  the "Kettlebell Deadlift"
• How to lock down your lats with the "Kettlebell Row"
• Shoulder stability, hip extension and allover strength with "The Turkish Getup"
• Explosive power and a cardio blast with the star of the kettlebell
  genre "The Swing"

We will be teaching these skills for introductory purposes and basic understanding of the maneuvers.  Proficiency comes with practice.

We will provide workout towels, water, Kettlebells, and light snacks.

Wear loose, comfortable workout attire.  Because of the nature of some exercises, short-shorts are not recommended.  Most important, Kettlebell exercises are performed either barefoot, stocking feet, or flat shoes such as Converse “Chuck Taylors” or Rocket Dogs.  No athletic shoes designed for aerobics, running, etc.  If your shoes are deemed inappropriate, we will ask you to remove them.  Due to the coastal location of Perfect Fit USA, the weather can sometimes be cool.  Be prepared by dressing in layers.
