For the past few years I have been using kettlebell\u2019s in my own training as well as with my clients; however, I had never been formerly introduced to the art of kettlebell training. I had learned a lot from other trainer\u2019s, watching videos, and reading books about kettlebell\u2019s, but I figured who else to review and perfect my technique with than <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">THE KETTLEBELL MAN HIMSELF-MIKE MAHLER<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1249]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1250 aligncenter\" title=\"photo (5)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This workshop was a full day of top notch kettlebell instruction and due to the smaller class size Mike was able to take extra time critiquing and correcting each class member\u2019s form. He taught and technically broke down all the basic kettlebell exercises to reduce the amount of banging on the wrists, protect the back, and be able to produce more power through the hips to lift more weight with less potential for injury. Some of the exercises we covered were swings, cleans, one arm snatch, military press, rows and renegade rows, windmills, squats, lunges, and the good old turkish get-up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1249]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1252 aligncenter\" title=\"photo (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the lunch break, Mike took an hour to give a lecture on hormone optimization and stating this was just an added bonus in an understatement! I really enjoyed listening to Mike share his knowledge of hormone optimization from his years of research and experimentation with his own body. This lecture gave me a new outlook on how to best prepare my body to perform with peak potential in and out of the gym. Since taking the course I have also been listening to Mike\u2019s 4-week online lecture series titled \u201cThe Importance of Optimizing Hormones\u201d and I highly recommend it to anyone. Remember it\u2019s not only the work you do in the gym that produces results, it\u2019s what I like to call the work \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d that really makes the difference. This includes things like proper eating, nutrient supplementation, sleep patterns, and stress control that combine to create a human body performing in its optimal state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1249]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1253 aligncenter\" title=\"photo (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-1-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.core-condition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This workshop would be great not just for personal trainers wanting to teach proper form to their clients, but anyone looking to step their training up and turn their bodies into fat burning machines!
