KETTLETIP - PERFECT YOUR KETTLEBELL SWING

HERE ARE SOME TIPS FROM RYAN SHANAHAN OF KETTLEWORX ON HOW TO PERFECT YOUR KETTLEBELL SWING

Feet: Should be slightly wider than shoulder width. Keep 70% of your bodyweight balanced on your heels to target the glutes

FUNK CHALLENGE: DUST OFF THOSE FITNESS VIDEOS

You can always find a reasonable excuse not to get in the gym. Work, kids, too tired, the weather sucks or just plain lazy. Hey, I here you and I’ve been there too, but thank goodness for the invention of fitness videos.

I don’t think I know one person that doesn’t own or has not purchased some type of exercise video in their lifetime.




Well today and this month, I am challenging you and everyone else in the Funk Fitnessland to dust off those old fitness videos and get to work. There is no excuse not to use them, I know there hiding in the corner, or under clothes in your closet, or tucked in amongst all the other movie videos that you own.

Well it’s calling your name…wait…do you hear it?

Think of the benefits and why you bought that damn video in the first place. There is no commuting; you are in the comfort of your living room. You have your own personal trainer taking through the exercises. The workout, from start to finish, will only take15-30 minutes of your time. And in this economy you can save money, get fit and stay healthy.


So once again, there is NO EXCUSE. It doesn’t matter if you’re a gym rat, you haven’t worked out in years or you just couldn’t be bothered.
This morning, afternoon, or tonight you are going to find that video, you are going to put it in your video player and YOU ARE GOING TO DO THAT WORKOUT.
I’m about to take my P90X Abs Ripper video and RIP IT UP BABY!

WHO IS JAY CUTLER’S SECRET WEAPON TO WINNING THE 2009 OLYMPIA?


For those of you who do not know, Jay Cutler is a bodybuilding professional and 2-time Mr Olympia and 5-time runner up. This is an interview from Ryan Shanahan’s I Love My Kettlebell Website.


Interview with Lisa Balash , owner of Elite Physiques kettlebell studio , located in Las Vegas.


Q - When did you first see a Kettlebell?

A - I first saw a KettleBell in 2006 at a Pilate’s studio .I began training myself for the 2006 Figure Nationals in Las Vegas and I was trying to change my look of overly muscular to more of a lean, longer look. I then decided to add the kbells and Pilates together to create my trademarked Kettle-lates training system and I transformed myself by taking off 20lbs and lengthening out my muscles.



Q – What kind of results did you get from Kettlebells?

A - I used the kettlebells for 40 min 2-3 days per week and was having trouble keeping the weight on, It was literally melting off of me. The results were phenomenal! Everyone started commenting on how much they loved my new look.

After that I decided to get certified to teach kettlebells and share with everyone this awesome training tool. I soon became a certified instructor with IKFF and opened my studio Elite Physiques here in Vegas.



Q – Does Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler use Kettlebells?

A - Yes, Jay Cutler has been a client of mine and we are focusing on his Mr. . Olympia comeback win in 2009. Jay likes the cardio challenge of KB’s and also the results for the glute ham tie in separation .

We do combine swings, Turkish getups along with Snatches for timed sets of 2-3 min each side. Jay is going to bring a brand new and unbeatable package to the Olympia stage this year !I am also training IFBB Pro Figure competitor Elaine Goodlad for her upcoming Europa show in April.

She is using kettlebells 2 days a week and she will be on an upcoming reality show that will follow her training and competing. So we should see her snatching on tv in the near future!


Q - Why do you Love Kettlebells ?

A - I love kbells because they are efficient and effective.I love teaching because its fun for clients they love the results that they get and the challenge of the mind body connection.It is very similar to Pilates in the fact that you have to be in the moment and core is always being used!!

Thank you for the interview, now Im off to train Mrs. Cutler, Jay’s wife, who also looks phenomenal!

KETTLEWORX MORE ACCESSIBLE, LESS INTENSE





KettleWorx on FOX29 Philly 02/05/09 from FitnessWorx on Vimeo.

PHILADELPHIA - Ryan Shanahan has played pro hockey, competed in the Heavyweight Drug-Free Bodybuilding Contest, and now his proudest accomplishment: training a 5-foot-tall pregnant person named Jenn Frederick.

We've all seen the massive kettle bells some elite athletes use. Now, Shanahan has developed a system for the general public. It's called KettleWorx. Tons of celebs have turned to kettle bells to tone up, Frederick reported. - myfoxphilly.com



MORE ABOUT KETTLEWORX

What Makes a KettleWorx workout (kettlebells) unique?
Three-dimensional whole body movement - nothing else does this!

The result is:
* Efficient: Whole body fitness in a 20-minute workout.
* Fast: Not going from machine to machine - whole body workout in 20 minutes.
* Cardio: Massive calorie burn & rapid increase in heart rate, breathing.
* Core: Constant use of stabilizing muscles = best core workout possible.
* Resistance: Whole body strengthening = gets you lean & toned versus bulking up with muscle isolation.

Overall result:
A lean, toned, great looking body - faster than you ever thought possible!

Why is it that "less is more"?
* No machine on earth can duplicate what your own body can do.
* With KettleWorx your body becomes the machine.
* No waste - instead of transferring energy into fancy pulleys & gears, you're transferring energy across your body - muscle to muscle.
* Over 200 whole body exercises - right in the palm of your hand!

Do you need a trainer?
* Absolutely. Without training the kettlebell is just a chunk of metal.
* KettleWorx is the only complete kettlebell fitness program with all the training you need. (The alternative is private lessons or classes - hard to find and very expensive.)

The Science of Kettlebells
* Burn up to 1,000 calories per hour - because you're using all your muscles!
* You would have to run almost 5 miles to equal the calories burned in just 20 minutes with KettleWorx.
* The most popular fitness machine in America is the treadmill - works only your legs - so you would have to spend over 60 minutes on a treadmill to equal the calories burned in just 20 minutes with KettleWorx. (And only your legs would look great.)
* 3x's the workout in 1/3 the time!!

Celebrities who use Kettlebells
* Lance Armstrong
* Katherine Heigl
* Jennifer Lopez
* Kim Cattrall
* Matthew McConaughey
* Penelope Cruz
* Geri Halliwell
* Jennifer Aniston
* Sylvester Stallone
* Kim Basinger

There is nothing like KettleWorx
* Kettlebells have been used for decades by bodybuilders - but KettleWorx is the first kettlebell program for men and women who are interested in fitness - not bodybuilding.
* KettleWorx is kettlebells for "the rest of us" - short workouts and fast results - for a body that is lean, toned and looks great!
* KettleWorx provides the training experts say is required. It's like having your own personal fitness instructor.

Sgt Shanahan Bootcamp is Back


I am excited to annouce that the Sgt Shanahan Boot Camp - Leading the War on Excess Body Fat is back for another year and can't wait to see both graduates and new recruits. Here is a awesome message and opportunity from the Sgt himself.

Greetings Sgt Shanahan Boot Camp Graduates.

Ryan Shanahan here, checking in with you to see how your winter is going and to update you up with some news.


The 2008 Sgt Shanahan Boot Camp workouts will start May31, the first Saturday after the long week-end.


Funk Roberts will be back in Full Force, along with some new trainers and professional athletes, including a Super Bowl winner!!!


Same location as last summer www.waronbodyfat.com

Hopefully you have continued your kettlebell workouts over the winter but if your in need of incentive, I have a great opportunity for you and to help your dear trainer out.

Currently I am involved with an exciting new project and would like to give you the opportunity to get involved.


We are going to show the world how kettlebells can make you healthy and fit. I've created a new series of kettlebell workout DVDs to be sold through a North American wide infomercial and we are looking for folks to be interviewed and provide testimonials about how kettlebells helped you get in shape and to potentially appear in our infomercial.


Here is how you can participate. The first thing we need is to collect before and after boot camp photos. It was an oversight for me not to do it at the time, but if you have any photographs you feel comfortable in sharing, I would welcome them.

We need photos any time period prior to the boot camp or one on one work outs with myself , and then photos current or after the boot camp / one on one workouts showing your new appearance. Ideally we would like the photos to be just of you, with a simple background, and in sharp focus.

If that is not available, please send what you have and we can work with it, if you are interested in participating. The next step then is to join us for a free refresher workout and follow-up interview. It will only take an hour or two of your time.


During the video taped interviews, our production staff will ask you basic questions about your kettlebell and Ryan Shanahan workout experience (howthe workouts helped you reach your goals, made you feel better, how the workouts changed your body, etc). Not to worry, the questions will be straight forward, nothing scary. Some of these interviews may then be incorporated in our infomercial.


If you are interested in participating, I need your photos as soon as possible, in order to arrange the appropriately sized facility for us to, do the follow-up workout and interview. We have not quite nailed down the timing as yet, but it looks like it may be late March or early April.

Please feel free to send any questions about thisproject to me and I will happily answer.Thank for their consideration and I look forward toseeing you soon.

http://www.energyflow.tv/store/index.html#anchor
Receive FREE Kettlebell Wrist Protector

and

What good are Kettlebell DVD's without having Kettlebells. You can get the best pricing in Canada, well I guess North America (I think our dollar has been using the Kettlebell DVD's) at the Treadmill Factory Fitness Superstore

You will need 2 Kettelbells to start so I would suggest for the ladies to start with two- 5-10 pound kettlebells and you men should buy two 20-25 pounders. That is a great start and as you get stronger, just purchase more.

Now that is a fantastic fitness gift set and while you are at it pick yourself up some too.

Have a great holiday everybody.
