Kettlebell class today was run by RKC David Cogswell and consisted of some swings, squats, snatches, some ladders, get ups, a few new moves based on some martial arts stuff (He is a Tae Kwon Do Master) and more that I can't remember. I'll try to update this post when I have time to sit down and remember the moves.
However, class today was not just about the workout. David's underlying lesson was to respect the many different personalities and interests of the people in class. We have young ladies, older ladies, older men and younger men who all have a different take on what's best for them. Some like the "Hard Style", some like don't.
How can we lead a class and make sure everyone gets what they want out of the workout. This, is a very big dilemma. Everybody is different.
Fortunately the Kettlebell is the answer. There are so many variations of kettlebell exercises, everyone should be able to get what they want AND need with just a little direction.
We finished the kettlebell portion with a Snatch ladder 5,4,3,2,1 R, L
I went with a 20Kg partly cause I ripped a callus, and because sometimes I need to go lite. There are benefits!
Then we had a Yoga instructor, who happens to also be a kettlebell instructor, put the final touches on our abs, I only remember the word - "E-long-gate". I was a little tired by that point!

Don't be intimidated by the hulk-ish bodybuilder types you see swinging around their kettlebells at the gym. Though kettlebells were originally created to. become a kettlebell instructor
