Don't be Intimidated by Kettlebells

Some of the comments I get, especially from women, is that a kettlebell workout is too extreme.  That it looks too tough.  Actually, that was my first impression when Michael introduced me to kettlebell training.

Kettlebells can look intimidating, but that's all it is.  Once you pick one up and start swinging it and working out with it the fear goes away.  We have coached children as young as 9 years old, and have had members in their 70's.  We currently have a 67 year old woman who has advanced to the Warrior level.  What does that mean?  It means that she did a 10 minutes of snatches with only one hand switch, which is 5 minutes straight with one arm, a hand switch, and 5 minutes straight on the other arm.  There is no rest, and there is no stopping.  Oh, by the way, she used a 12kg kettlebell, which is 26 pounds!

I would like to introduce you to Luis and Erika.  Here are their stories:





I remember the first day I walked into the gym. My fiancĂ© had seen the gym and called to set up an intro class. He is always looking for a way to push the envelope, so to speak.   I on the other hand liked my comfort zone. I was not really interested in going to a gym that was straight classes because my biggest fear has always been failing in front of others. Needless to say, I've had a few bad experiences that has soured things for me.

The first class was fun and comfortable.  I couldn't believe how fun it was and once I got the basic moves down I was hooked!  I started to become more toned.  It was amazing to watch my body transform into long lean muscle.  I've never looked so good!  Something else amazing happened to me over my journey with the SKOGG System, my confidence grew.  The girl who was afraid to take the lead on anything because others may see her fail, was trying new things all the time!  I began thinking of the amzaing accomplishments I achieved with the SKOGG System and realized that I really could do anything I put my mind to.  SKOGG helped me find the true inner self and learn to really enjoy my life.  Me, only stronger.    Erika Smith







The SKOGG System was instrumental in helping overcome the plateau I had hit with my workouts.  After years of using traditional methods of lifting weights, I was finally sick and tired of making zero progress, gaining weight and being absolutely bored with what I was doing.

That all changed when I started the SKOGG System.  This new way of working out has been a life changer.  I have never been more committed to working out and being fit.

Because I had previously worked out and not improved my appearance, I thought that the best days were behind me.  The SKOGG System proved me wrong!

In 60 days, I literally rolled back the hands of time 5 years.  I lost 13 pounds, 12% body fat and about 2 inches from my waist.  I have not been this fit since college.  I'm leaner, stronger and more flexible.  The best part is that you can do a workout every day and not get bored!  Every day something is different...they just keep your body guessing, which is instrumental in making progress.

Without any reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend the SKOGG System to anyone wanting to get fit for life.

The SKOGG System isn't a workout routine, its a way of life!

Thank you Michael and Sue.     Luis Monge
