Fit Bomb - Hero WOD Jack (kettlebell only)

How many kettlebells does one girl need?  ALL OF THEM!


Kettlebells were practically unheard of in North America until recently, but now exercising with a bowling-ball-shaped weight with a handle is the newest fitness trend.

How do you start using kettlebells?

Most commercial gyms do not have kettlebells, but small boutique gyms like Cherry Bomb offer group classes and individual instruction. The best way start using kettlebells is to find a trainer or instructor with a kettlebell teaching certification. The most common and reputable certifying bodies, which train kettlebell experts around the world, are:

• American Kettlebell Club (AKC)
• Canada's Agatsu and Kettlebell Training Academy
• Crossfit, which incorporates kettlebells along with other equipment and training techniques
• International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation (IKFF)
• Russian Kettlebell Challenge Academy (RKC)

The fitness industry lost the real definition of ‘fit’ and replaced traditional full-body exercises with isolation exercises the kettlebell remedies that and in a big way! The kettlebell provides movement-based training, which some call functional fitness training. So, if you want a more practical and traditional style of traininglook no further than the kettlebell.

• Full-body conditioning. The body learns to work as one synergistic unit linked strongly together.
• Big results by spending less time in the gym. Kettlebell training involves multiple muscle groups and energy systems at once.
• Increased resistance to injury
• The ability to work aerobically and anaerobically simultaneously.
• Improved mobility and range of motion
• Increased strength without increase of mass. Kettlebell exercisers are lean and toned, not bulky—a benefit that appeals to women and men alike.
• Enhanced performance in athletics and everyday functioning
