Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Kettlebell Training

When it comes to starting kettlebell training, many people start out on the wrong foot and not knowing what they are doing. They are lucky if they did not get injured trying out themselves but most people can't figure out why they did not get the kind of results they should get from kettlebell training. The problem is most people hear all the claims about what kettlebell training can do for you and jump into it thinking that it is the tool that does the trick. If you want to achieve fat loss, improve all-round fitness, forge a lean and strong body, you need to look into the kettlebell training not just the tool itself. Ok here is the step-by-step guide to how you go about starting your kettlebell training.

Step 1: Get Your Enter the Kettlebell DVD and Book Set

Enter the Kettlebell Book & DVD set by Chief Kettlebell Instructor Pavel Tsatsouline is a definitive guide for anyone who is serious and a beginner in kettlebell training and want to start on the right path and get the benefits of kettlebell training. This is like kettlebell training bible to any beginner. I must say not having either the instructional DVD or the book will deem as incomplete. You will need both of them as a reference for you to perfect your techniques. Be sure to do the Program Minimum in the book no matter how fit you think you are. In Hardstyle Kettlebell Training, it is about doing training as practice and not as a "workout" to maximize your learning with all the basic moves in kettlebell training.

Step 2: Get a Quality Set of Kettlebells from Dragon Door
Obviously, no training can happen with no kettlebell. And I insist that you get only Dragon Door Kettlebells because they are the highest grade kettlebells you can get out there. If you want quality training, you certainly need a great set of quality kettlebells from Dragon Door. If you decide to buy Dragon Door Kettlebell in Perth, you can get it here at this link: Kettlebell Perth
Although, Dragon Door kettlebells are not cheap and in fact can be the most pricey around it is with many good reasons. They will last and its finish is incredibly lasting compared to any other kettlebells in the market. To learn why you will not regret spending the extra on the Dragon Door kettlebells, go to this link. Can you imagine your kettlebells set look like this below? Dragon Door premium Military Grade kettlebells will never look like this.

What weight should you buy? For beginner male, you should consider getting a 12kg and a 16kg. And a for a beginner woman, you should consider 8kg and a 12kg. Please note that this is consider as a guide.

Step 3: Go Get Yourself a Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) Instructor 
Before you go run and start training with the kettlebell and the instructional set, it is in your best interest to seek training advice from a highly trained kettlebell instructor from Pavel approved RKC instructor. The 3-Day Intensive Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) Instructor Certification Workshop that the RKC instructors have to undergo is considered the most vigorous and gold standard in kettlebell training. The idea of the having the "Enter the Kettlebell" sets is to compliment the training you are going to get from a RKC instructor. Let's put it this way it is almost impossible for anyone to learn how to use the kettlebells with good enough techniques unless you get qualified help. Imagine trying to learn swimming on your own without a swimmer instructor. How is that possible for most people? It may be possible but is it worth wasting your time re-inventing the wheels and risk getting injured when you get get someone to give you spot on advice on the training right from the start?

Step 4: Be Good at Kettlebell Swings and Turkish Get Up
The problem with most people who start out doing kettlebell training is that they fail to nail the basics. If your basics suck, then anything beyond that is just gonna be worse. First, nail you kettlebell swings and the Turkish Get Up.

Step 5: Do Your Program Minimum (PM) Program in Enter the Kettlebell Book
Yes it is that simple. Just focus on your PM.
