Many of you that watch the TV show Biggest Loser witnessed the workout the other night that included Kettlebells. I have to say I'm glad I didn't see it. But, thanks to my good friend Brad Nelson you can watch the review of Jillian Michaels kettlebell technique over at his blog, BradRants.com or just go here http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=ONw.0&m=1a7pCXfJfs4Bb1&b=YB8P.CYNDF7VWo7VROmgKg

While we're on the subject of teaching proper kettlebell technique it's a good time to get you a quote I've been saving from the Chief Science Officer of American Council on Exercise or as most people refer to it as ACE.

If you've never heard of ACE here is some background:

Our Mission

The American Council on Exercise® is a nonprofit organization committed to enriching quality of life through safe and effective exercise and physical activity. As America’s Authority on Fitness, ACE protects all segments of society against ineffective fitness products, programs and trends through its ongoing public education, outreach and research. ACE further protects the public by setting certification and continuing education standards for fitness professionals.

Background

Founded in 1985, today ACE is one of the largest fitness certification, education and training organizations in the world. We currently have more than 40,000 certified fitness professionals in 107 countries. ACE certification, continuing education and training are among the most respected in the fitness industry.

Not too long ago ACE put out some of their own Kettlebell Demo's on their youtube page that also got quite a response from many Certified Kettlebell Instructors. The response was so huge that they actually took the videos off of the site and had this to say:

"Due to the complex nature of kettlebell training and the level of in-depth instruction our audience desires for this subject, the American Council on Exercise has decided to remove our video overview on kettlebell exercises. We recognize that our short video format does not lend itself well to this subject and we want to ensure we are continuing to fulfill our non-profit mission of protecting the public. Until a more detailed video is available, we have recommended to our audience that they visit the Dragon Door website for in-depth information and instruction on kettlebells. - Cedric Bryant, Ph.D., FACSM, Chief Science Officer, American Council on Exercise"

This is all more evidence you should seek out the professionals to learn proper Kettlebell techniques. Find an RKC near you and pay them whatever they charge to get trained.
