Kettlebell Training

How would you log in a kettlebell workout in MFP? Cardio? Strength? Please Advise...

I just made my own entry, calling it "kettlebell cardio."

I should add that I log mine as a cardio workout.

As a certified KB trainer , exercise Physiologist and National Physique Competetor I highly recommend Kettlebells as the most functional training and fat burning exercise. After reading through the feed I am happy to see so many of you enjoying what is by far the most effective exercise to building lean muscle mass while getting better cardio benefits than any other typical cardio exercise.
I do however suggest that anyone interested in starting a Kettlebell routine find a reputable certified Kettelbell instructor and learn proper movement and form. Without doing so you will not get the best benefits of the exercises and you will most likely incur injury over time. Along with that you will be teaching your body and muscle memory the wrong types of movements which will lead to injury immediately or over time from developing muscular imbalance and poor technique .

Yes, there are great videos out there on the market... However stay AWAY from "Jillian Micheals" NOT, NOT NOT SAFE and completely INCORRECT FORM!
Yet let me advise even with the videos that are from actual RKC certified trainers you can not learn and correct improper movement by watching a video.. This is done by working one on one or in a small group session with a RKC instructor or another reputable Kettelbell certification instructor ... please do your homework when finding a trainer/ instructor your health depends on it. Learn proper form and function and then incorporate the videos into your plan once your body has learned proper technique. It is not fun as a instructor to try to fix improper technique and body movement to clients who decided to try to build a house without a solid foundation.

Trust that if you acquire a professional to get you started and lay down the proper foundation the overall Health benefits and your gains will far exceed anything you can imagine and you will not risk the high injury rate of those doing it wrong.
Sorry people but I have yet to meet any person who has tried to learn from a video that was not doing things COMPLETELY incorrect and it was 100 times harder trying to correct their imperfections then if they started with the proper foundation to begin with.

I don't think any of you would build your house without having a solid foundation... So why would you take the most important gift being your body and health and not give that a solid foundation too? The money it cost to invest in yourself is nothing compared to the money you WILL SAVE on medical bills later.

Anyway, any questions please feel free to ask.
