If you're not familiar with a kettlebell, think "cannonball with a handle". In Kettlebell Sport competitions, athletes perform specific lifts for maximum reps over a ten minute time period. The bells cannot be put down or the set ends.
Once the national sport of Russia, Kettlebell Sport has been getting more popular in the US since the late '90's. Joining our local athletes will be three female international champions who will perform 155-170 repetitions in ten minutes using kettlebells that weigh 44 to 53 pounds. These athletes aren't big, bulky powerlifter-types; they're long, lean and powerfully built.
Punch Kettlebell Gym brought kettlebells en masse to the Sarasota area three years ago. Since then, we've been joined by CrossFitters, powerlifters, and regular, everyday fitness enthusiasts that use the best tool available to build full body strength and muscular endurance. Check it out!
