This month I set 2 new kettlebell PR’s, one was a 97lb (44kg) Military Press and the other a 70lb (32kg) Pistol or one leg squat.  The program I have been using to get the new strength comes from following the book Kettlebell Muscle.  If you have not tried this program yet I suggest you start now. At Supreme Ultimate Fitness in Boca Raton I have all of my clients, even females, using Kettlebell Muscle.   Check out my PR’s on video

Here is a client of mine, Kelly, demonstrating the Get Up at Supreme Ultimate Fitness in Boca Raton during the Kettlebell Basics Workshop on October 9, 2010. Notice the precision, attention to detail, control, and strength. Nice job Kelly!

Here I am in my studio Supreme Ultimate Fitness in Boca Raton, FL doing a T’ai Chi style Get Up. This a a true TOTALLY ZEN WORKOUT!

Why would you want to do this? Good questions and here are some reasons:

  1. Mindfulness – to bring yourself in the moment of the movement pattern
  2. Control – to gain better control of your body and mind while “flowing” through the get up
  3. Learning – trust me when I say you will learn a great deal about how you move by practicing like this once in a while
  4. Balance – you can do this on your off days and still get great benefit from the get up without stressing the body

There are just a few reasons. Let me know how you like it, please post your comments below. Thanks
