Transcendent Fitness to Host Kettlebell Event
T
ranscendent Fitness, in Naples, will host a one-day
Strong First Kettlebell Course from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., June 22. The workshop includes learn- ing to use the kettlebell, a cast iron weight that looks like a can- nonball with a handle, as well as practicing special strength and functional movements. Upon completion, attendees can attend an unlimited number of regular kettlebell classes held at the facility on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for one month. Kettlebell training and functional movements enhance joint mobility and, due to the “hip-centric” and “lat-centric” movements, strengthen the back, hips, knees and shoulders. These specialty mechanics teach participants how to protect their body while engaging in strength-building exercises and the functional movements greatly increase back health, hip flexibility, core strength and balance. Providing specialized breathing techniques that increase strength, safety and endurance, the Strong First Course also highlights the three main functional elements of the Strong First mentality — Kettlebell, body weight and barbell exercises. In addition, participants will learn the four most powerful move- ments—the dead-lift, the swing, the get-up and the goblet squat.
Cost: $299.99. Location: 4646 Domestic Ave., Ste. 106. To register, visit
StrongFirst.com. For more information, call 239- 293-9984 or visit
