KETTLEBELL TESTIMONIALS
Hear what some our comrades from across the US are saying about Kettlebells
For almost 3 years I have done Personal Training with a woman who has achieved average results. 2 months ago I started her on PT and worked in cycles of RKC last month. She was literally firming up and slimming down before my eyes. She called the other day bubbling and gushing over the phone that she was at a weight she hadn't been at for 15 years and wearing clothes she could only fit into before she had her teenage daughter!

Soon after starting with high rep snatches and C&J's I noticed that I needed a heavier dumbbell to do pullovers with of all things. 15-20 lbs heavier! These exercises have also noticeably improved my running of a 5k race, even though I had done little in the way of actual running in preparation for this race.
As a perennial exerciser about to turn 50,I find these techniques introduced…to be the most effective of any I've seen.

I've only finished my 4th KB workout and have found that it is much like yoga. Now before you scoff at this remark I'm sure you too have noticed many similarities. In yoga flexing of the rectal, abdominal and various other locks and muscles are required...much like RKC. Yoga uses 'Ujayi' breathing to retain body heat, tension and mindfulness...much like RKC. Yoga flows from one posture to another very smoothly with transition movements (Astanga yoga anyways)...much like windmills, chest-opening windmills, side press and military presses can blend into each other. Also, yoga requires the utmost concentration and focus for it to be truly beneficial...much like RKC where concentration and focus on tension and the weight is needed for progress in strength, muscular endurance and to keep from dropping the damn weight on your head! One last thing, I feel so friggin energized and alive after RKC, this time...much like yoga!

Burning fat w/ RKC is the most fun and most efficient way of burning fat known to man! Not only do you get one heck of a work out, but you also gain strength at the same time.

Carol loves the little kettlebells and I'm using them for warmup -- I've discarded my milk jugs. Our January 1 update will include a notice that the 4-K and 8-K kettlebells are now available from Dragon Door. You did great job on designing the little bells. The rubber coating makes them much less threatening for beginners, especially women and children.
All the best in the new year to you and your family.

It's funny you mention biceps. My biceps grew faster and better from doing KB snatches than they ever did with curls. Just another of the MANY benefits of doing KB's. :)

BTW- I love KB's! I have lost 16 lbs in the last four weeks since I started the KB lifts. Also, I haven't jogged in 2 weeks and last night I went jogging after my KB workout. At the end of the course that I run there is a big hill. Before KB's I was dying at the beginning of the hill, and a complete goner at the top. Last night I threw the hill aside like a little pink plastic dumbbell!!!

Some friends of mine in their 40's and 50's go skiing every year and always get very sore the first few days on the slopes. They asked me this time what they could do to prevent this. So I had them do Kettlebells for the last 2 weeks. They called yesterday, ecstatic, announcing they had not been sore one bit. In fact, their 21-year-old son was having trouble keeping up with them and had himself gotten sore.

Now that you know a little about kettlebells, listen to a few of my clients tell you about me.
“Having made up my mind to lose weight in June 2000,1 began yet another diet and exercise program. For starters, I started exercising 30 minutes a day. By February 2001,1 had worked up to exercising one hour a day. However, I had reached a plateau and realized that I needed some help with my exercise program. I talked to a friend and asked him what he was doing to lose weight. He told me he was working out with a personal trainer. He gave me the name and telephone number of his trainer but of course I did not call him right away. I decided to try it on my on a little longer and added 30 more minutes to my exercise routine. I exercised one hour in the morning and 30 minutes in the evenings. However, after six weeks I was still on the same plateau. At that point, I decided that I would contact the personal trainer.
I reluctantly contacted this personal trainer who happened to be Frankie Faires. I thought he would be like the other personal trainers that I had worked out with at health clubs. Was I mistaken! On April 2001,1 began my success story with Frankie as my success coach. Frankie was at all times professional, extremely knowledgeable, and passionate about what he did. I soon learned that he was dedicated and strongly committed to his client's success. I also learned while training with Frankie that he deals with the whole person, it was not just about getting a good workout it was about eating right, drinking water, having the right attitude, and getting the requisite amount of sleep. "He was a consummate professional", and that was exactly what I needed. With weight training I saw my body began to change in ways that I never thought could happen and I enjoyed it. You guessed it, I lost the weight and I feel great.
If you would like to have a success story in terms of weight loss, nutrition, and personal growth contact my success coach and friend, Frankie Faires.”
Sandra Perkins
“I wanted to say that my life changed after meeting Frankie. He has been instrumental in helping me achieve the body I have always wanted. We focused on nutrition, cardio and weight training. This is a process that will evolve and always be a part of my life. He may not know this, but he helped me save my life.”
Kenn Darity
“Training with Frankie, I've achieved astonishing results. I lost body fat, gained muscle, and developed fantastic definition. Never before had I experienced total strangers complimenting my physique. My self-esteem soared. Frankie is very knowledgeable about training. The workouts are progressive and result oriented. Recently I noticed another trainer using techniques with his client that Frankie incorporated in my routine over a year ago. I have family and friends whom I've referred to Frankie for assistance in their training. I highly recommend Frankie for anyone who is serious about getting into shape.”
Robert Bergeron
“The health and fitness strategies I learned f rom Frankie have changed the way I approach diet and exercise ... forever. When I met Frankie at age 38, my bodyfat was over 25%. After 1 2 weeks, my bodyfat had dropped to 10.1%. This represents a decrease of 60 percent! In addition, my waist had gone from 35" to 28". I had not worn a size 28 (and never expected I would again) since I was in high school. Frankie' s approach to training incorporates so much more than just diet and exercise. He takes t he time to get to know the client and understand their physical and emotional needs to understand what motivates them. Now, four years later, I still practice the skills I learned working with Frankie. These skills have become a part of my life and I owe a very special thanks for what he has done for me.”
Ed Murchison
“Frankie encouraged me to get into Personal Training and has been my guide for some time. Any time I have a question, I come to Frankie. Even trainers need trainers. I wanted to be more muscular so I asked Frankie to put me on a program. Everyone other trainer at the gym looked at me like I was crazy when they saw my workout. I put on 10 pounds in six weeks ! Remember, I am experienced lifter. On my own program, it took me six months to put on 15 pounds! On Frankie's program, I even cut the amount of fat I gained in half!”
Jason Jacobs NASM CPT SFS
“I've known Frankie for 3 years, and in that time I have come to know him as a professional and as a friend. His professionalism exceeds that of many other individuals and organizations in our industry. Frankie has developed an education base that is thorough and expansive. More importantly, his application of this knowledge gives him a wisdom that I can compare only to some of the top fitness experts in the nation. Frankie's approach to fitness and training is logical and thorough while maintaining a simplicity that allows anyone to understand it. His programs are always progressive allowing anyone to encounter success, which after all, is what we all seek when we are trying to adopt a fit and healthy lifestyle. As a friend, Frankie has offered me his assistance in my development as a fitness professional. He has done so unselfishly so that I may better offer my talents to this industry and to those who seek our advice and services. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow from him, for Frankie offers something that all of us can benefit from. Frankie, I wish you my best.
