Why is it so hard to try new things?

If you are like me, it’s because we want to be good at everything. When we’re not, it can be intimidating and it scares us.

I remember feeling that way. When I first started using kettlebells. I didn’t want anyone to see me using them. I had no idea what I was doing or if I was using them correctly. I’m also one of those types of people that have a hard time asking for help. Looking to improve, I studied kettlebells like it was my job. I poured over any book or video I could get my hands on and after a few months, I thought I knew it all. Before long, I was talking about kettlebells to anyone that would listen and I started teach weekly classes.

After a couple years, I decided to get the StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor certification. I wasn’t really sure I could learn much more about kettlebells, but at least it would validated what I already knew. I was way off! StrongFirst is a school of strength, the tips and cues taught with a live instructor, can’t be learned in books. After 3 days of vigorous work and education my head was blown! I had to start teaching kettlebells in a new way!

With my new arsenal of coaching cues, I saw my clients grow into stronger, leaner, more athletic individuals with a renewed love for kettlebells! Now, I’m one of those types of people that loves being coached and learning new ways to help people be strong and healthy, I can’t get enough!

I’m looking for people that would love to learn more about how to use, teach and/or program kettlebell training! No matter where you are at with your fitness, my Forever Young – Kettlebell Series will help you get better at performing and teaching this amazing art.

Kettlebells are fun, brutally difficult, wonderful tools that become a lifestyle. – Josh Hanagarne
