In RKC Kettlebell class we will focus on three dimensions of training....
Workouts will be goal orientated, and changed to promote strength, stamina, agility and cardiovascular conditioning.
1. Joint Mobility
2. The Workout: includes Ballistic, The Grinds, VO2 Max.
3. Flexability
The Kettlebell is a functional workout, giving you skills to use in everyday lifting and moving while away from the studio. You will notice stronger, symetrical muscle tone, increased joint movement, less neck tension..... and you will have more energy ...
You will connect better with your body and breathing, and have a fun and challenging workout!!

Machines vs Kettlebells -- A No Brainer
Machines are bolted down, creating an artificial stabilizer, which means YOU do not have to stabilize the weight.
Kettlebells allow a 3 dimensional movement to take place at all times, strengthening and conditioning ALL associated muscles (Prime, stabilizers, and neutralizers).
.............
Machines use a fixed axis of motion, leading to the De- Conditioning of your joint stabilizers and neutralizers.
Kettlebells are portable
.........
Machines only train your body in one or 2 dimensions.
Kettlebells have unlimited potential for movement in any direction.
.........
Machines require minimal nervous system activation.
Kettlebells maximally activate your nervous system due to the dynamic nature of the exercises.
..........
Machines can potentially cause muscle imbalances, as co-contraction of other muscles is not encouraged due to lack of stabilizer function.
Kettlebells can activate dormant or injured muscles due to the incredible stabilizing effect the movements have on the joints and muscles of the body.
