Kettlebells

Paul Daniels is certified by Master Trainer Pavel Tsatsouline to teach Russian Kettlebell classes.
 

The Russians Are Here!

Many of you have been asking when are Kettlebell workout classes going to be available. So consider yourself officially notified…

If you’re still unsure or undecided about kettlebells, you definitely are not alone. Lots of people just like you have completed the Fighting Fit Kettlebell Camp, Here is what a one of them of them had to say.

“While out for a walk on the beach with my husband and dog, I was complimented with the comment “who is your personal trainer – you are in such great shape” Not bad for almost 60.

-Sophia Suda

But right now, I want to tell you why the Kettlebell Workout Class is 100% guaranteed to change the way you look, change the way you feel, and change the way you live.

From the 1st meeting, you’ll know that Workout Class is dramatically different, and infinitely better than any other training program out there. You’ll start by mastering your Primary Movement Patterns – and that alone will change your body forever. It will astound you. I’m not exaggerating.

First, and most importantly, we’ll cover the crucial difference between simply working your abs and really training your core. The two terms are not interchangeable. Most of what gets called “core” training these days is really just ab work with a fancy new name. It’s good, but it can be much, much better. A strong core means a safe back, and mastering these two pre-requisites means you’re ready to pick up your kettlebell (I’ll bring lots of them, so don’t worry if you don’t have one).
 

Here is what you will learn


The kettlebell swing:
works your core, back, legs, arms, heart, and lungs all at once. It also gets your heart and lungs a-cranking, and that means the fat-burning has begun.You see, the Kettlebell Swing shows you how to use your body correctly to get the most out of yourself. It feels natural and powerful, and you’ll be changed forever once you bring it into your life. I’m not kidding. I know it sounds like I’m piling on the hype, but everything I’m saying is true. You’ll get your money back if you don’t agree.

Turkish Get-up:
This little-known gem will integrate your shoulders, torso, and core in a way you’ve never experienced before.

Kettlebell Clean:
Build a strong muscular back while learn the power of the clean and a rock solid rack position.

Kettlebell Press: how to take advantage of the Russian Shoulder Stability Protocol and get rid of that annoying shoulder pain once and for all.

Windmill:
a phenomenal move the will hit your obliques (“side abs”) more completely and dynamically then anything you have done previously…and last but not least, another great workout to send you home looking better and feeling great.

What is the right kettlebell size for me? An average man should start with a 35-pounder. It does not sound like a lot but believe it; it feels a lot heavier than it should! Most men will eventually progress to a 53-pounder, the standard issue size in the Russian military. 72-pounders are used only by a few advanced people and in elite competitions. 88-pounders are for mutants.
An average woman should start with an 18-pounder. A strong woman can go for a 26-pounder. Some women will advance to a 35-pounder. A few tough women will go beyond.

You do not need to have a kettlebell to attend, but if you do have one please bring it with you.
 
Let's get to the point. If you are serious about getting into great shape and developing strength, flexibility, core strength, endurance, and turning your body into a fat burning machine then this workshop is for you and I want to work with you. You will love kettlebell training. Not a possibility, it is a certainty. If you want to take charge of your physical health and make a serious investment in your well-being, then I want you at this seminar. I love working with people that take charge of their lives and are prepared to pay for high quality services for self-improvement. If you like to blame others  for your problems and think society is to blame for you being out of shape, then go ahead and leave my website now and never come back. The Body Warehouse is not for you and I do not want you at my workshop. I only work with motivated people. Sound good to you? I hope so and keep on reading.
You should be super excited about this seminar.  This informative hands on 6 hour seminar is for all levels and no experience whatsoever is needed. However, this seminar is not just for beginners. We are going to cover the basics and then we are going into some really fun stuff that intermediate to advanced kettlebell trainees will absolutely be ecstatic about. Do not worry beginners, once you have the basics down you will be able to partake in the fun as well.
 
Learn the basics of what exercising with Russion Kettlebells is All about.
Here is what you will learn at this workshop and why you must attend:
 
·         You are a beginner and you want to ensure that you learn the proper technique to maximize your progress and avoid unnecessary injuries
·         What to do with your pelvis on swings to protect your lower back
·         How to train with kettlebells in a safe and effective manner to avoid potential injuries
·         The Importance of being able to get loose and tight in a single repetition. This will make a big difference in your workouts and progress
·         How to breathe for maximum performance
·         Why you can replace your gym membership with kettlebells if you want to and get into fantastic shape
·         How to incorporate kettlebells into your current program
·         The importance of being a goal focused trainee rather than a stimulus-focused trainee
 
                                                  I will cover the following exercises in detail 
 
Swings: This is where it all starts for developing rapid hip flexors and for accelerating fat loss. It is not as simple as it looks. Learn the best way to do swings at the workshop and how to avoid getting a sore lower back. One-arm and Double Swings will be covered 
Turkish Get-up: Forget about crunches and doing sit-ups all day long. Work your body as one unit and build a rock solid midsection. Learn the pattern of motion to make TGU' seamless and productive.
Cleans: Are you banging up your wrists. You should not be, even with the heaviest kettlebells. Without a perfect clean, forget about doing presses with confidence. It all starts here. Why you should open your hand and wrap your hand around the kettlebell rather than letting the kettlebell flip over and bang up your forearms.
Military Press: (Many years ago the Military Press was the mark up upper body strength. Now people are lazy and like to lie down when doing presses ;-) learn why the military press is a full body demonstration of tension and why lat. activation is critical for an important press
Snatch: Learn why this is the Tsar of all kettlebell lifts. Forge iron backs, hips and fingers. Develop outstanding cardio-respiratory endurance and has a tremendous carryover to running, jumping fighting, etc.
Front Squats: Develop excellent leg strength and flexibility.   Also teaches the girevik abdominal pressurization. 
 
                                                 WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ME
 
When it comes to kettlebell instruction, Paul Daniels, RKC Team Leader, walks softly and carries a big stick.  If you are serious about kettlebells, he is your man.     -Pavel Tsatsouline, RKC Chief Instructor
(forefather of the US Kettlebell movement)
 
"It is rare to see a trainer that knows how to set his clients at ease without wasting time. Paul is a tough trainer that knows how to get the best out of his clients. In addition, he knows how to laugh with his clients and ensures that they have a great time. This is a very rare combination. Most trainers either have drill Sargent personalities or they are looking at the clock while their clients workout. Paul is completely focused on maximizing time with his clients.  
     I have had the pleasure of working with Paul at several of my kettlebell workshops and he always does an outstanding job. Without fail, I always get emails form my workshop attendees stating how much of a difference Paul being there made. I highly recommend Paul's kettlebell workshops and services. There is no way that you will be disappointed." Mike Mahler, author of "The Kettlebell Solution For Size And Strength" and "Kettlebell Solutions For Speed And Explosive Strength
 
 “I started taking Paul's kickboxing classes about 10years ago.  I took a 5 year hiatis (don't ask me why)
and started back up about 3 years ago and the results have been mind blowing.    First & foremost, I have gone from a size 6 to a size 2 but more importantly is the muscle definition that has occurred. I started working with Paul on the
Kettlebell about 2years ago and along with a change in my eating habits (very little carbs) have made a
drastic change in my body and mind.   In addition, one of the biggest and very surprising changed has been in my golf swing.  I am an avid golfer and about a year ago I had my swing speed tested for new clubs.  I recently went in to purchase a new driver, told the salesman that I test at an 80 swing speed so he put me on the calibration machine & to my surprise my swing speed has increased to 95!  I was absolutely amazed. Because of Paul's workouts and the Kettlebell, I have many Women's Longest Drive trophies in my office. Kettlebells have become a big part of my life.  It has changed the way I feel & look.  I am amazed how many comments I get from even strangers asking me what I do to stay in shape.  I love to tell Paul”    
   Thank you Paul for inspiring me to look & feel my best.  And more importantly for improving my golf
game.   Sue White
 
“ I found this workshop to be more practical and useful both in scope of exercise and feasibility. I left feeling like I could go home and continue. Paul gave me practical tips and tricks to remember proper technique and form.  Paul is incredibly knowledgeable as well as a keen instructor. He figured out how I needed to be taught quickly and didn’t hold back, I need that!  The workshop was great. I enjoyed my time with Paul and all that I learned.”    Kara Root
 
     I have been working out religously for 2 years by myself at a gym and did not get the results that I have gotten with Paul in 10 months. I will never go back to the gym. Paul has eduacated me on nutrition and fitness, he has answers to all my questions!
Thanks Paul.

I have been working out regularly for 7 years. Nov.2006 I found Paul and started doing the Kettelbell workout. Since, I have seen amazing changes in my body. I never thought that after 3 pregnancies I would ever look good again! I am proud to say that at 37 I look better then I did at 17. I am stronger, more toned and even my attitude is a whole lot better! Thanks Paul for pushing me to do the best I can. I am forever grateful! ".... and my husband thanks you too ;)

Paul is a great Instructor because he is very encouraging and he makes us want to be accountable for our own fitness. I have been working out with Paul for almost two years and it never seems to get boring. Paul always has something new and different for us to do. My three kids (26, 24, and 19) come to the classes every chance they get. Paul is very good at making sure that everybody in the class gets a good workout no matter what fitness level they are starting at. Give Paul a month and you will definitely see great improvements.
Kathy D'Agostino - Coto de Caza, CA
 
I have been training with Paul for several years and recently took a pregnancy break. I am back training with him once again and once again I am amazed with the results I see in my body. Paul is not only a wonderful trainer and motivator, he also really cares for every indiviual's needs and spends one on one time insuring the best result possible. I highly recommend everyone to try Paul at least once.
Atousa Ligtvoet - Trabuco Canyon
 
Paul has vast knowledge of exercise training and is very inspiring to learn from. After just a few weeks of training in kettlebell my wife was so impressed with the changes in me that she started working out with one also. I'm serious. I'm not copying the guy above me who made this same statement. You will not be disappointed with Paul as your instructor. Give it a shot.

If you need help with toning up and improving your athleticism and don't mind losing a few pounds along the way, then call Paul Daniels! Paul is a great kettlebell instructor and an awesome trainer . His great sense of humor makes working out fun!
Out of shape and 30 pounds overweight, I started Paul's Kettlebell camp at the age of 37. Within 6 months I had lost 20 pounds and toned up unbelievably,(I actually had muscles!). The results were incredible. Paul's knowledge and motivational style got me to think that anything is possible (even at my age). After training with him for 2 years I moved to Chicago. I am now a thriathlete and weight training is critical if I want to compete effectively. Paul is still there for me regarding my training. I just turned 40 and placed in the top 10% in a competetive Sprint Thriathlon with almost 2000 entries. I could not have done it without Paul!

I took Paul's Beginner's Kettlebell workshop. He really knows his stuff! He was able to break down swings, cleans and presses into managable, non-intimidating sections to where even a KB newbie like me felt like I could create a good, solid kb workout from what I had learned.
I'm much more comfortable with kb's now...thanks Paul!

I have been taking Paul's Kickboxing class on and off for about 9 months and most recently I attended his begginers Kettlebell Workshop. I was looking forward to the Kettlebell Workshop because I knew Paul to be a great instructor so I thought the workshop would be worth the investment. Needless to say, Paul's Kettlebell workshop was much, much better than even I had anticipated. Although I thought I might be a little intimidated by the Kettlebells, Paul immediately put us at ease with his ability to break down all the exercises into easy to understand segments. Paul's ability to motivate and inspire really shone through. I would highly recommend any class that Paul is involved in. I feel very fortunate to have him as an instructor.


Brenda - Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
Aside from his attention to detail and high quality of instruction, I found Paul to be an extremely fascinating individual. His modest stature is dramatically contrasted by his explosive power, both with the kettlebells and martial arts demonstration. The depth of his knowledge is another example of how this simple tool is not only a mindless "good hard" exercise regiment, but rather a sophisticated highly scientific method once a strong fundamental technique is attained.
Thank you Paul.

John Pistotti - San Diego, CA
 
Paul led the charge as he and his team systematically dismantled all of the Marines assembled for the seminar. Over the two day period, we were professionally mentored (read: tortured) in the proper techniques/mechanics of training with kettlebells. Paul's patience and ability to breakdown the moves in an easily understood manner contributed to the overall success of our training. If you want to do it right, and if you want to be physically/mentally challenged, Paul is your man.
LtCol G - Camp Pendleton, CA
 
I had the priviledge to be an assistant instructor at the recent April RKC with Paul Daniels. As a long time martial artist I could see and sense in Paul an exceptional practitioner that brought to mind the Japanese term "shibumi." This has definitely influenced his kettlebell instruction by his depth of knowledge, an experienced eye for the subtle and not so subtle improvements and corrections that the students needed, and his easy demeanor that calmed and sustained them enduring their RKC weekend. As I said it was a priviledge to work with Paul as he is a shining example as an RKC Team Leader and a great asset to the RKC community. Thank you sensei, and Go Team Daniels!

 I have been working out with Kb's for a while now and wanted to take Paul's class to make sure I was doing the moves correctly. I found that I wasn't. He was able to break down the Turkish get up in a way I have not seen. Now I am doing them much better. Trying to perfect them each time. I didn't think I was capable of a goblet squat and was sure he wouldn't be able to help me do them. I am so excited! I am working on this move and have never been able to put my knees through a full range of motion "pain free". Can't wait for his next workshop!
