Club Kettlebell is a written online program and kettlebell membership that will help you train to become a stronger and more agile human. In Club KB you will learn to transform your workouts into intentional training sessions.
My goal is to help you become and see yourself as a stronger, more powerful adult athlete because yes, we can and should all move like and feel like athletes. As humans, our fitness routines should enhance the quality of our lives & help us do the things we love in life for longer.
Club Kettlebell is created for the intermediate mover who has already learned the kettlebell swing, clean, snatch, and Turkish get up. If you feel confident in these skills + have mastered the squat, deadlift, and press, this program is for you.
Club KB will take your training to the next level. Expect to practice these basics, learn and build more advanced KB skills, and build strength using the kettlebell.
Club Kettlebell includes- ‣4 training sessions/week ‣Access to a 1:1 chat with me, group chat with the team, demo videos, and written and/or verbal cues for each exercise ‣Record and track your workouts so you can track yourself getting stronger and more conditioned

Conditioning
A
Zone 2 Cardio
Zone 2 training means working at 60-70% of your max heart rate. This is also known as "fat burning" cardio vs. working at higher intensities (you get plenty of that is main lifting/conditioning sessions). To calculate your zone 2 HR- 220 - your age, then find 60-70% of that number Zone 2 = 60-70% of max heart rate E.g. 220-30 years = 190, 190 is your max HR 60% of 190 = 114bpm 70% of 190 = 133bpm Zone 2 cardio = keep HR between 114bpm-133bpm Goal = muscle recovery, low intensity cardio, move and elevate HR slightly Examples of low intensity steady state cardio include a long walk or hike, a moderate jog, steady swim, steady row or ski erg, or steady bike ride. Play a sport--go golf, play tennis, etc. The science: "Zone 2 or low HR training is also one of the best tools we have to achieve metabolic health and longevity. Low, zone 2 heart rate cycling, swimming, rowing, and running are also key to improving performance and minimizing the risk of developing stress-related injuries and overtraining...This post is for athletes looking to improve their training and performance, and it is also for non-athletes who simply want to live longer. Exercising in Zones 1 and 2 will improve your mitochondrial number, function, flexibility, efficiency, and fitness." Taken from an article written by Howard J. Luks, MD PS we are all athletes. Train and recover like one. Enjoy today.
