A Weekend of Kettlebell Fun

This weekend was a great experience as we had our second kettlebell seminar of the year down in Tucson, Arizona. Ron and Jana Holland were very kind in hosting us at their wonderful facility SWAT Fitness.

What? Isn't this blog about sandbag training? You would be surprised. What got me into sandbag training was kettlebells. Back in 2002 I was introduced to kettlebells after being very frustrated with the lack of results I was getting for my clients and myself!

Kettlebells blew me away with the effectiveness and the time efficiency kettlebell training provided. It was not just the tool, but the training methodology behind kettlebells. I thought though, "what else is out there?" That is where my idea for sandbags came about.

After some time working with sandbags I found that combining both implements might be the perfect combination. The reason being that they are founded on some common concepts.

• Train Movement over Muscles
• Focus on Posterior Chain Involvement
• Unilateral Loading to Increase Core Strength
• Postural Training in a Functional Manner
• Improvement on Endurance, Strength, Movement Coordination, and Improved
  Body Composition.

I will be posting some of my favorite programs combining both of these great implements (some are already outlined in Knockout! E-book). However, if you can't wait check out my latest article on combining kettlebells and sandbags.
