The good news is that it worked out the last bit of soreness from the KB cert, the bad news is I'm now sore in completely different places now.

6/21-6/22 Crossfit Kettlebell Cert



I attended the Crossfit Kettlebell Level 1 Certification at Kettlebell Koncepts in Gaithersburg, MD. on Saturday and Sunday. I learned a lot about Kettlebells, Crossfit, and how to teach people to use kettlebells without getting "jacked up" as Jeff Martone likes to say.

One of the most beneficial things I leaned was the joint mobility drills we did for warmup. I'll definitely be adding that and the PNF stretching to my workouts.

After some adjustments to my technique I feel like I'm dialed in. I'm also more confident about teaching others how to use kettlebells in there workout.
