Strong IS the new Skinny!
Lifting heavy weights build strong, toned muscles which in turn burn more calories throughout the day. With safe technique and progressive programming, as taught in the RKC School of Strength, most women build up to using the 35lb kettlebells as their primary working weight. In the above photo Deb and Julie Demonstrate 4 techniques: the Swing, the Goblet Squat, the Clean and the Military Press using a pair of 16kg (35lbs) kettlebells.
When put together in a single program these 4 exercises challenge every muscle in the body from toes to finger tips. Core strength, cardio, flexibility, explosive power and resilience are just a few of the benefits to be derived.
A Press & A Pull.
In this photo Tracey is pressing the 20kg (44lb) kettlebell. Beth is performing a chin-up and Suzanne is performing the See-Saw Press with 2 12kg(26lb) kettlebells. The One arm press with 1/4 bodyweight for women and 1/2 bodyweight for men is the standard we seek to meet or beat. The chin-up(underhand grip) and the advanced deadhang tactical pullup (overhand thumbless grip) are excellent exercises that compliment the press perfectly.
