Question about Kettlebells

Post by RedDevil1504 »

Ranger welfred,

I am biased for the dragondoor Kettelbells, having quite a bit of experience with them and having made some money as a KB instructor.

They are extremely effective. I am in better shape then when I was in 95. I use them with great success in a remedial PT program at Gordon back in 02. In 03 I used them in a program with some Paratroopers who were in excellent shape with great success. Unfortunately they were deployed a few weeks later. I am actually heading out to run a Kettlebell fitness class here at the college for some climbers.

The Crossfit program that some have been talking about here uses em in many of their "Workout Of the Day" exercise sets. The dragondoor.com site you mentioned has a related system, specializing in military/LEO-oriented fitness. It is called "The Russian Kettlebell Challenge" (RKC) and specializes in using the Kettlebells and bodyweight exercises in a sophisticated “Low Tech/High Concept" way. The primary goal is extremely effective training with an extremely low injury rate.

If you are interested in more, just send me a PM.

A word to all you kids out there. If you quit tryin', ya start dyin'. I've been on a workout routine of one kind or another my entire life. I see a lot of folks younger than me who don't work out. They can't do as much as me, they get sick more often than I do, and they can't keep their women happy. Don't ask me how I know about that last one. :twisted:

:cool:
My dad, 63, still does the burpee workout.
