New eBook: Introduction to Kettlebells – Just $1 on Amazon!
Recently, I wrote a short (read: 30 pages) eBook called Introduction to Kettlebells, which is now available on Amazon for a whopping — brace yourself! — $1.
You can snag it here ==> https://amzn.to/2HgwJgO
Short story: Introduction to Kettlebells is a quick and dirty reference guide to the core single kettlebell techniques — exercises like the swing, snatch, clean, get up, squat, etc — and a simple, 7-day training cycle for getting strong and tough.
Inside the eBook are instructional pointers, pictures of each technique, and links to video tutorials. Finally, a simple and straightforward collection of workouts for improving general physical preparedness with just one kettlebell.
While this eBook is aimed at beginners, I think even veterans will get something out of it, since it’s always good to brush up on technique and return to basics.

Excellent , Loved this precise clear presentation. Due to covid held my training this past year and getting it done at home has been more than challenging. Watched/read more online workouts and done few. I have reverted to powerwalking alternating with hiking and snowshoeing everyday no matter what. Since this January 1 logged 323 miles to date. I’m not yet out this am but think I may start with one of your WO since have a 15 lb kettlebell and am a 67 yo woman. Need to get ready to garden.
