I am a kettlebell newbie.  I’ve been training with them since March.  I hope to graduate from newbieness soon. 

I train strictly with kettlebells.  I made the decision to try this several months ago, for many reasons.  Suffice it to say that I’m convinced kettlebells are probably the most effective training tool available.  I’m so convinced that I’m training for the Russian Kettlebell Challenge Certification Workshop to become an RKC Instructor.  The certification requirements are challenging to say the least, and it will take me many months to prepare, but I am determined.

I train 5 days/week, usually at home.  It takes me about 20-30 minutes per day.  I’m following the program that Elise Matthews, RKC II designed.   I can see changes in my strength since beginning my kettlebell training about 6 weeks ago, and I was already in really good shape.  I’m excited to see what happens as I get stronger, and more Kettlebell Fit.  In future posts I’ll elaborate on all aspects of preparing for the RKC and what is happening with my training.  Will you cheer me on?
