Last August I happened to hear about a Kettlebells class near me. This did not seem like a normal workout class- people were talking about how they ached for as long as a week afterwards and struggled to climb up stairs for days. I'm always one for a challenge, so being rather intrigued I went along one Tuesday night.
It was intense.
The class is run by a local personal trainer and he has a great knack of mixing cardio with weight work, providing an all body workout which is never the same for any two classes. I won't go into too much detail of the exercises, but if you'd like to hear more of what a class might entail let me know!
Since that first class I've only missed four sessions, all because I wasn't in the country (and I was gutted!). It is the perfect addition to my marathon training plan as it targets and strengthens a huge range of muscles, most importantly around my knees which have previously struggled with injury.

Below is a little clip of our routine to finish off tonight:
10 Kettlebell Swings
1 Burpee
10 Kettlebell Swings
2 Burpees
10 Kettlebell Swings
...
10 Kettlebell Swings
10 Burpees
(collapse) ;)
As always it was a tough but rewarding session, so much so that I thought I just had to tell you all about it!
Let me know if you've ever tried Kettlebells and if so what your classes are like? What other classes / workouts are your favourite?
