Sunshine, fresh air, sunshine, kettlebells, SUNSHINE
If the sun shines and the grounds dry, kettlebell classes can be outside. Find us out the back of the Transition Extreme Centre, close to the beach ballroom.

Plank`n`push
Rannoch's recent post on his Surfers push up gave me the idea to post my plank`n`push up. See it here, http://simplestrength.blogspot.com/2009/05/surfers-push-ups.html
In my one below, the person underneath dynamically shifts from plank to pushup position as the person on top has to keep balance as he transitions, as well as to push ups. Core and skeletal stacking, different and dynamic!

May update
Long time no speak, I know!
Everyone is working really hard at the two classes. Working alot of swings and also I have an interesting progressive ladder drill going too, starting off with the walkabout plank, into the clean, into the squat, into the push press, into the swing, into the high pull. It`s a fun 11min workout, constantly working the core and trying to make the walkabout plank dynamic and purposeful.
Here is a clip one of the mobility drills I`m working right now. Simple, with 3 stages to it. Simple, smooth and functional.
Here is Rannoch's Kettlebells Scotland T-shirt in the middle of a press up on the bells
The Friday class conjured up what energy they had left to pose with this one, lol...
"back a bit, left a bit, straighten the leg, lock the elbow..... GET ON WITH IT RAY!!!" lol
Website hopefully coming alive soon, new workshop and additional classes to be announced. I`ll keep you posted or come back soon to check!

Latest Workshop news
Todays workshop was great! 3 out of the 10 people who booked on came in and trained with me in the kettlebell essentials. I mixed up my routine a little bit today, which I liked, but I ran a little over time. I could have missed out the mini workout at the end incorporating the skills they had all learned today, but hey, time, shhmime! lol I was really really happy with how the 2 ladies and single fella performed they 30 on, 30 off drills at the end - well done you guys! Looking forward to training with you in the weeks to come! Remember your first Sunday class is free!
