Oh Lyn, I should have said, do you know Dan John's work? He is a coach, thrower and kettlebell enthusiast. He does a lot of kb work as part of his training for throwing. Check out his newsletter.

Good to hear. Throwing a kettlebell is also a fun event!

I just started learning throwing — hammer, heavy weight, and shot-put — and the kettlebell work I’d been doing turned out to be great preparation for these sports!

Wow! Wow wow wow. Emily Dickinson and off the cuff kettlebell poetry. Signs and wonders.

Great post Ms. G. Thanks for the mention. And I second what they’re saying–get out more. In fact, don’t move. I’m on my way to England right now to buy you a crumpet. Those are English, right?

The World won’t slow, Death be denied,
For Kettlebell and thee.
The choice is play and life and love,
Or cold utility.

They said we did not stop for death
My Kettlebell and I -
Alone we cleave a path through air -
The whole World
To Defy

Do try to get out more- your eloquent writing about kettlebells makes me worry that you’ll become the Emily Dickinson of exercise.

Go show those English lads what for!

I’ve never seen a KB used with a band.

Very cool and innovative.
