Building Stronger, Leaner and Healthier Women

One recurring theme at Omaha Elite Kettlebell is women transforming their lives.
Today I'll share three... 




Accelerate Fat Loss and Help make your 40's your glory years!

In 2009 Kathleen "Kelly" Rushlow lead the way the first member of Omaha Elite Kettlebell to have successfully completed her HKC and earned a Hardstyle Kettlebell Certifiied Instructor certificate. She has gone on to press the 24kg (53lb kettlebell) and performs weighted pullups.  Kelly was not always such a bad ass, in her youth her entire lower body was in cast causing severe flexibility and mobility issues that she still combats today.  What makes her accomplishment even sweeter is that Kelly is our most successful weight loss story. She has lost over 120 lbs, 30 of which she lost in her first 4-months.



“I had hit a plateau in my weight loss program, and couldn’t seem to lose any more weight. I was exercising and participating in a variety of classes. I had heard that weight training would help. I really didn’t enjoy using the weight equipment and had tried Body Pump,but it wasn’t for me. I enjoy cardio type classes like step aerobics and Body Attack. Some of the people in my martial arts classes were using kettlebells. So I decided to give Scott’s kettlebell class a try. I was surprised that the class worked me both with weight training and cardio. I had finally found an all-in-one class that I enjoyed. In 4 months I had dropped an extra 30 pounds. Pounds I was having trouble losing! I also gained an added benefit, my abs, arms and legs were getting toned. 

Scott Stevens’ kettlebell class is the most challenging, intensive,well structured, cardiovascular/strength training class that I have ever participated in. A great all-in-one workout! The knowledge, guidance and quality of training provided by Scott is impressive. He has a way of “torturing” that is actually “fun”! He is the first instructor to actually get me to challenge myself and come back wanting more. Scott’s grueling pace coupled with routines that rotate, challenge and expand are never boring.”

Kelly continues to train at Omaha Elite Kettlebell while growing her own clientele. She is a living example of perseverance and to watch her train is to know what HKC Hardstyle is truly about. 

How a Grandma Reversed the Aging Process and Kicked A Policer Officer's Butt!
Pat Loontjer started Kettlebell training at the age of 64. Her Doctor informed her that was losing bone density had poor heart health and was a high health risk. When she began kettlebell training her instructor had to go out and buy a 5lb kettlebell, because the 10lb was too much for her. Over the course of 6-months she progressed to the 20lb kettlebell and at her next doctor's visit she surprised her doctor by improving both her bone density and heart health to the point ... she was ecstatic to learn that she is now consider low risk!  Pat has continued to train once or twice a week and has been able to press the 35lb kettlebell for some time now. This summer while river rafting, Pat was swimming along side her son, a young police officer who was splashing and taunting her from the safety of his inner tube. "Come-on use those Kettlebell muscles" he said... and as the saying goes, be careful what you ask for because she promptly push pressed his inner tube out of the water flipping her son into the river with a satisfying splash.  Pat's favorite technique is the Kettlebell snatch because the lockout reminds her of a victory pose and she love's the way kettlebell allows her to keep up with over  a dozen grandchildren!




Lose 20lbs and Win Your first 5k!
Julie is a one tough mother of two in her thirties who started kettlebell training 2 years ago. She has lost 20lbs and gained impressive amounts of strength and lean muscle. She recently finished in the top of her age her age in her first ever 5k run and earned her HKC Hardstyle Kettlebell Instructor Certification in August 2011.  She went from barely hanging on the pullup bar to performing strict deadhang pullups, weighted single leg squats, performing 100 snatched in 5minutes with the 14kg and performing getups and presses with the 44lb kettlebell.  Julie teaches classes on Friday mornings and continues to improve her strength and skill. 

"I have not been doing any serious running. The bulk of my training for the past year and a half has been through Kettlebell workouts, typically 3x per week. Recently, at my first 5k, I started out near the back of a group of 200  and found myself consistently passing other runners as I went. Ultimately, I finished strong with a good sprint.
Following the race, they were announcing the top finishers per age category, and I was so surprised to hear my name called!
When I look at my training with Kettlebells from the past 18 months, I recognize the skills and strength that I have gained, which allowed me to run my first 5k with ease.
For runners, Kettlebell is the perfect compliment." -Julie Madott Omaha, NE

"KETTLEBELLS WORK"- IT"S NOT THAT SIMPLE

This is going to sound weird, but one of the biggest problems with using Kettlebells is that they work… REALLY WELL....
when combined with the right principles, methods, intelligent program design, technique and safe movement (The RKC System does this).
In other words, Kettlebells don’t’ work. In fact, kettlebells don’t do anything, they are inanimate objects that just kinds of …. sit there.

What works? Kettlebells combined with the RKC system works!

For example, the results some of my clients get with the RKC system sounds like a bad infomercial

• Kelly lost 40lbs in 3 months, and gained 7” of hip mobility within a single session

• Kaleigh lost 13 lbs in 2 workouts a week for four weeks.

• Within minutes Allison, Shaun and Hannah all squatted pain free for the first time.

• Jonathan gained 15lbs of muscle, maintained sub 6% body fat AND improved his vertical jump by 7”

• James improved his shoulder mobility by 30 degrees in minutes with a simple ankle stretch (yes, ankle)

• After 1 month of kettlebell, Jill’s back was pain free for the first time in 16 years!

• Scott permanently healed a chronically sprained ankle with 5 minutes of exercise 1 day a week for 4 weeks AND lowered his resting heart rate by 30 beats per minute in just 4 workouts in one month.

• Nate dunked a basketball for the 1st time in 10 years with just one month of kettlebell and WITHOUT any jump training.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that see or hear about others getting crazy results like these from intelligent training (RKC) with kettlebells but they filter out all the stuff that makes kettlebell training effective (RKC) and all they hear or see is “kettlebells work” and think it’s that simple. It’s not.

If you are under the impression that simply “using” kettlebells or learning how to “use” kettlebells from a YouTube video or book will get you these kind of results, then chances are you’re going to remain out of shape, get frustrated or get injured… or all of the above.

There is SOOOOOO much bad information and bad kettlebell technique demonstrated out there that it is spawning more bad information and bad technique resulting in an endless whirlpool of garbage. For the most part untrained people that are getting in shape with kettlebells are simple getting in shape despite their methods, not because of them. They are the exception, not the rule.



To prove my point, if I give you any crazy exercise and have you do enough of it, with enough intensity you’ll “get in shape”

For example: Here’s a free 10-week Body Transformation program that will get you in “Great Shape” that took more time to type then it did to conceive

Perform 8 sets of 10 reps of the each of the following with 10 seconds rest between sets. Then do a 200 meter sprint before starting the next exercise.

rapid fire Pushups (8 sets of 10)

rapid fire Pullups (8 sets of 10)

rapid fire Goblet Squats (use at least 70lbs for 8 sets of 10)

Kettlebell Snatches (8 sets of 10 per arm)

Box Jumps (8 sets of 10)



Perform 3x a week for 10 weeks

You’re welcome.

I’ll accept checks, cash or credit card.

Will this “program” get you “in shape” probably. Will it get you injured. Almost certainly.

A beginner might see this “program” and eagerly buy a pink 8lb kettlebell and think he or she is going to become the next UFC champion or Female Fitness Celebrity. They’ll watch a video of some kid wearing a Tapout or Affliction shirt who proclaims himself an expert demonstrating horrible technique. Then, armed with all the information and technique that they DON”T have, they’ll attack their new workout routine with extreme enthusiasm for one or two sessions. Eventually they’ll get injured or bored and kind of do it sporadically here and there once in a rare while.



Here’s a better program one that I use in my classes.

Pick One to Five exercises whole body exercises and perform them two to three days a week

Lift heavy to get strong.

Lift fast to lost fat.

Rest little to build endurance.

Eat more to build muscle.

Eat less to lose weight. Sometimes eat more to burn fat.

Gradually increase the volume of work from one week to the next.

Sometimes train hard.

Sometimes train easy.

Once in a rare while go all out.

Sometimes don’t train at all.

Follow a really hard day with a day off or an easy day.

Take a week off every 6-12 weeks.

Back-off and start over with less than where you finished and gradually build up to a new personal best.

Repeat as necessary.

How to master the essentials of kettlebell lifting—and dramatically boost your power and effectiveness as a personal trainer or coach

Pavel and Dragon Door's one-day, entry-level kettlebell instructor certification workshop

Special Offers

Registered Participants

15% off Dragon Door Military Grade Kettlebells  Order must be placed with Omaha Elite Kettlebell no later than August 13th.

HKC Candidate Preparatory Classes $40.00/hr. Call (402) 850-5551 for orders & prep classes.

On successful completion of the HKC, an HKC graduate will receive a $250 credit when they attend a future RKC certification workshop, which they must register for within one year of achieving the HKC. (Please note: the credit can only be received after attending an RKC.)

Since Pavel and Dragon Door launched the world's first-ever kettlebell instructor certification program in 2001, the classic RKC program has become the gold standard, now with over 1,500 certified instructors in over 43 countries.

The prized RKC certificate represents a "Black Belt" in kettlebell instruction that requires extensive pre-training to attain. A grueling, "experience of a lifetime", the RKC program is the ONLY current program which insists on stringent testing of multiple skills and strengths. Currently only an average of 70% of RKC candidates succeed in passing the requirements by which they can proudly hold themselves forth as "RKC-certified".

While qualified RKCs continue to graduate to ever-higher levels of expertise, through such groundbreaking graduate programs such as the CK-FMS and the RKC level II, it's clear that these individuals share a very special combination of drive, passion, skill, commitment and physical capability—without which the RKC would remain a distant dream.

In other words the RKC is not for everyone! Not everyone is ready to step up to that level of intensity and commitment. To pay that kind of price in blood, sweat, tears and money—whatever the final prize and future benefits, be it enhanced financial opportunity or dramatic physical gains.

But what about all of those otherwise-dedicated coaches, trainers and athletes who just can't commit to the full-bore RKC, but would still like to be certified in the most important essentials of kettlebell lifting?

Currently there is no entry-level kettlebell certification program that addresses these folk with the kind of quality and standards Dragon Door and Pavel have become famous for.

Time to change all that and provide this larger group of fine individuals the chance to "Enter the Kettlebell", as it were—and learn from the very best in the business.

So with that in mind, we present you the HardStyle Kettlebell Certification, the HKC—and your chance to join forces with the world's premier kettlebell instructor training system.

In creating the HKC, Pavel drew on his eight-plus years of developing the current Level I and Level II RKC programs, his authoring of the widely acclaimed Enter the Kettlebell! system and other kettlebell training resources, plus thousand of hours of personal discussion and research with high-level training experts of all kinds.

With his deep skill at identifying what is truly essential for effective kettlebell training, Pavel has created, with the HKC, an opportunity to build a superb and rock-solid foundation as a kettlebell professional.

Like the RKC, the HKC includes a qualifying test of physical strength. The RKC is famous for its mandatory snatch test—that immediately sets a high bar for those wishing to qualify as an RKC. We take pride in this. Many fitness certifications have no physical test whatsoever, allowing that curious anomaly of an obviously out-of-shape trainer dispensing advice to clients who are clearly fitter than they are!

To ensure that those who register for the HKC have a reasonable level of fitness, Pavel settled on an entry-level pullup test for men and a flexed-arm hang test for women based on the US Marine Corps'

Attend the HKC and leave with these major advantages:

• A deep understanding of the true benefits of kettlebell training—for both yourself and your clients
• A solid knowledge of vital kettlebell training safety procedures
• A workmanlike grasp of the fundamentals of biomechanics—to ensure your clients move with perfect form and avoid injury
• A grasp of the key HardStyle skills and principles of strength
• The ability to competently perform the three foundational kettlebell exercises (the Swing, the Get-Up, and the Goblet Squat)
• The confidence you can now correctly teach the three essential kettlebell exercises—and troubleshoot common technique problems
• The unique HKC template for designing an unlimited number of effective kettlebell workouts.

And discover all this and more in the course of your HKC training:

• Understand why mastery of the kettlebell swing is fundamental to high-level HardStyle practice
• How to develop power through compensatory acceleration and overspeed eccentrics
• How to train hip extension for back and knee health and athletic performance
• How to employ bracing and neutral spine—for injury prevention, enhanced performance and optimal transmission of force
• How to recruit the lat as a "core muscle" to improve the spine safety and glute strength
• How to increase power with the biomechanical breathing match
• A safe, effective modality for developing different types of endurance
• Explosive training techniques for more effective fat-loss
• The deadlift: the most "functional" exercise of all
• The two-arm swing and corrective exercises
• The concept of rooting and two key drills for developing it
• The one-arm swing
• The hand-to-hand swing
• Russian relaxation exercises to enhance the acquisition of skilful movement, increase power and endurance
   
• The two hundred year history of the get-up
• The get-up as an assessment tool
• The strength and health benefits of the get-up
• How to correctly perform the get-up and teach corrective drills
• How to move from mobility to stability, then from stability to strength—and why this progression is crucial for truly effective kettlebell work
• The get-up, shoulder mobility and stability exercises. The role of the lat in shoulder stability and strength—and advanced lat facilitation techniques
• How to employ and teach steering strength
• The concepts of leakage and linkage—and their importance for effective kettlebell lifting
   
• How to perform the goblet squat and corrective drills
• "Strength stretching" for the hips
• How to overcome gluteal amnesia
• How to most effectively stretch the hip flexors to dramatically improve athletic performance, back health, and posture
   
• How to modify the squat stance for a client with back problems
   
• An alternative squat exercise for overweight clients
   
• Why "sport specific training" is inappropriate for 99% of the coaches and athletes—and a powerful alternative

Take home an information packed HKC instructor manual:

• What makes kettlebell training unique?
• What Russian research says about the benefits of kettlebell training?
• What is "Hardstyle"?
• Kettlebell safety 101: ten key items
• The Swing: its benefits, technique, teaching progression, and remedial drills
• The Get-Up: its benefits, technique, teaching progression, and remedial drills
• The Goblet Squat: its benefits, technique, teaching progression, and remedial drills
   
• HKC program design
• The three key principles of effective training identified by Russian sports scientists: continuity of the training process, waving the loads, and specialized variety,
• Ten program design tools for an unlimited variety of effective kettlebell workouts:
  • Rep Ladders
  • Weight Ladders
  • Time Ladders
  • Breathing Ladders
  • Reverse Ladders
  • Drop Sets
  • Super Sets
  • Timed Sets
  • Series
  • Active Recovery Exercises

As with the RKC, the HKC will be earned through diligent testing of each candidate. Besides having to pass the requisite pullup/flexed-arm hang test at the outset of the workshop, each HKC candidate will be evaluated for technical proficiency and teaching skills at the end of the workshop and will then be granted either a pass or fail.

Our members already have, you can too. 

Training with us means achieving more in less total time.

Just this morning I was talking to a new female client of mine who is also a member of another gym up the street.  She used to hire a personal trainer and felt hesitant about paying extra for group kettlebell training.  Since starting our kettlebell classes she found that she IS actually getting personal training in a group setting AND with even more attention to detail than she received in her previous one-on-one sessions elsewhere.  Compared to other group classes that she has taken she said that the quality of technique we enforce is without equal because we actually teach people how to move safely while other group classes seem to focus on simply keeping up with the choreography or music of the day. She reported feeling that she is getting more results and a better workout in less time and with less money.

“B” [name changed to protect the innocent] a male client of mine returned after a one year hiatus at a high priced personal trainer studio. He said that although they also used kettlebell he never felt challenged and missed being pushed and feeling exhausted after class, yet still capable of going about his day. To that all I can say is, if you’re not challenged by kettlebell training, you’re not doing it right.  The RKC consists of many world champion athletes who after achieving Elite Status found that they IMPROVED their performance after implimenting RKC techniques and  methods. As a result they themselves went on to join and become RKC instructors.  If it’s good enough to push Olympians, World Champions and the U.S. Special Forces to new personal bests then I guarantee it’s good enough to challenge you, whoever you are.

Julie just ran a 5k and finished among the top in her age group and only trained with Kettlebells in our group classes. She told me about the feeling of power she had while running uphill and consistently passing other runners with ease throughout the entire race. She couldn't believe how easy it was for her even though she didn't train for the event.  She believes all  runners would benefit from the kind of training we do in class as the ultimate form of cross training because it's so easy on the joints it actually allows trainees to get more training accomplished with less abuse on the lower body. We've already made plans for her next race and this time we've planned her kettlebell to specifically help her peak in time for the event. 

So ask yourself this....

Do you want to spend LESS TIME working out and more time enjoying your life?

Do you want to get MORE RESULTS than you from your current or past form of exercise?
Do you want to IMPROVE PERFORMANCE in all manner of athletic endeavors?

Then give us a chance to save you Time and Money by enlisting our services.

We love and believe in the effectiveness of kettlebells and the RKC methods and can't wait to share this with our clients. We'll hold back no techniques, protocols or secrets and share everything we've learned to help you achieve success.
