Kettlebell Basics Training Camp
A six week kettlebell intensive course designed to progress you through the six basic kettlebell drills: swing, squat, clean, press, snatch and get up. You will also learn how to create a solid foundation and stabilize your shoulder girdle and spine to protect your back and prevent injury. These skills apply not only to kettlebell training but all movement whether it’s an exercise at AOS or working at your computer. Each class builds upon the skills learned in the previous class. This six week session will increase your comfort level with the kettlebell as well as your confidence during the AOS classes you attend. Experienced kettlebellers will also benefit by fine tuning form.
