March 1

The Friday and Sunday classes are going great! We are working some quality rounds with and without the kettlebells. Both classes have 3 parts to the class and attendance is growing! Improving fitness is key in this next few months! Parts of the classes are physically challenging for all levels, but now we are pushing some mental challenges also, and everyone is doing brilliant!
The Thursday Exel Club class remains quiet. Is it bad timing (8-9pm)?

This months Ultra Fit Magazine has an artical on kettlebells for women. (I do not rate the tutorials). Have a quick scan next time at the newsagent. All the info is what I explain in my workshops, and it's only encouraged me to get a "KB's for ladies" page on my website, which I`ve been meaning to do.

The March Challenge...
I know, I know! I have not set it this month yet, but its very encouraging to hear people are looking for it!! Give me day or two and it will appear in your mail boxes! The half-month March challenge!
(But whats stopping you continuing Jan and Feb's?? LOL)

The start of the good weather is here... be prepared for outside week-night training soon!!

Finally, please note that the Sunday KB class is CANCELLED on 21st March. If you have a KB at home, you know what you can do for an hour in place of the class! If you don't have one, do something else physical anyway and keep that 4-5 Sunday slot as "workout time!"
All back to normal on the 28th - see you there!

Remember, Kettlebells Aberdeen is your only fully qualified kettlebells training centre in the Granite City and surrounds.

February 4

It's been a busy and a fun month!
The first beginners block went really good. Most of the group completed the 5 weeks and I received some wonderful feedback. Techniques were nailed by everyone because we repeatedly visited the essential drills and got the reps in. I was really really happy with everyone progress. Some have bought KB's and some are continuing with classes - that's BRILLIANT!

The second block is slower in getting the numbers to commit, but its nearly there now. I won't be expecting to run a new course every 5 weeks now. They will run upon demand, the same as the workshops.

The February workshop was excellent. We all braved the snow and stayed warm by keeping busy with the essential body weight and kettlebell drills.

March workshop to be announced very soon, by the way!

The Sunday classes are good fun and keeping a steady number, mostly of newcomers... where are all you regulars?! Next Sunday is the last week of circuits and then a change of routine for us!
Thursdays at the Exel Club can see lots more attendance from anyone wanting a mid-week swing!

I have had loads of requests for getting the Turkish get up in a simple video clip and posting it on here. I need slapped about because I recall committing to doing that for the January Challenge!! Watch out for this clip appearing here in the next few days!

I`ll have some very exciting news published soon about a Scotland-wide tour that Kettlebells Aberdeen will be involved with in June. Be prepared to sign up for the Aberdeen event! It'll be alot of fun!

Where next?
How has everyone been doing with the February Challenge? I for one have failed terribly (been doing other stuff though!), but I`d love to know if you have stuck by it. My general belief is that it has flopped for most, and I am not in a position to criticise!
SO!..
Next month the challenge will include a simple addition to February's challenge. Lets grit our teeth and get stuck into the 100 reps per day! Details to follow on email as usual guys.

p.s. Summer is approaching! Kick start feeling and looking great and get stuck into 'yer kettlebell training!!
Classes are running on Thursday and Sunday!
Fresh beginners block at Exel starting next week!
March Workshop coming soon!
