Mar's Kettlebell Adventure

It was a long day and my butt was pretty sore by the time we finally got home but it was definitely well worth it! Andrea and I were able to work out a few mechanical bugs that I had with my swing and she also showed me how to do the clean properly. I was going through the right motions but using the wrong muscles to pull the kettlebell off of the floor. She had me do push-ups till I couldn't lift my arms up and then immediately had me do multiple reps of cleans on each arm to force me to use my hips rather than my arms and shoulders. It was a great drill and I could feel the difference right away.

Marlaena started off with her double swing as well and then moved on to the more difficult single arms and then worked on combinations of both. She seemed to pick things up so quickly and has incredible athleticism so Andrea moved right along and showed her the turkish get up, goblet squat and some really cool stretches before our session ended.

We both had a great time and really enjoy training with Andrea. She is very knowledgeable and a great instructor and her studio, Kettlebility, is clean, bright and very welcoming.  

Thanks Andrea, we'll see you soon!
