This month seems to have flown by. Club members completed the two handed swing progression and everyone made good progress. After a more relaxed week during half term, we are now back and on the lead up to Christmas. The Christmas party is booked! And we have 7 weeks to work towards our new progression. Which this term is the StrongFirst protocol Simple & Sinister. This involves completing 100 1h swings in 5 minutes, 1 minute of recovery and then 5 TGU\u2019s in 10 minutes.<\/p>

The beauty of this progression is it allows everyone to work at their own pace and with a weight that is right for them. This week we have been benchmarking everyone\u2019s starting point. Slowly but surely over the next 7 weeks everyone will work towards progressing on the weights alongside improving their technique.<\/p>

I\u2019m excited to see what it brings and am confident the progression will yield success for everyone that trains consistently. <\/p>

So now onto our club member of the month for October! This month I am delighted to announce the Hels Bells club member goes to Sami! Sami is a relative newcomer to the club joining just before the summer.<\/p>

\"jlnsv4cr6swjkp9vaewwpzwheixhbmic4wjvmhdkrgqubssy.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\" She has worked super hard to improve her technique and is diligent in trying to get things right when she performs any of the kettlebell moves. She always shows great focus and concentration whenever she trains. Consequently, the results speak for themselves because her technique is improving beautifully and she is getting so much stronger. Slowly but surely she is moving up in the weights with her two handed swings and is able to complete a higher volume of reps with the press. When Sami performs the TGU, which I always liken to a dance, she executes it with style and control and is increasing the weight she is using. <\/p>

It is an absolute pleasure to watch Sami\u2019s strength grow alongside her confidence. And I love coaching her because she is keen to understand more and get the moves right when she performs them. <\/p>

\"kr2xn7j0il6ddranhder92ghaxsvhixdwivomef82pkuhg8b.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"Sami runs her own business walking dogs alongside owning her own lively Vizla, one of the observations Sami has made is that since starting kettlebells her ability to keep the dogs controlled when on the lead has improved because of the increase strength in her arms and shoulder! I always say that strength should be functional and this is a clear example of how staying strong supports you in every day life! <\/p>

Congratulations Sami on all you have achieved in a short space of time. I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing you continue to progress in the future. You are a welcome addition to the club and it\u2019s great having you on board. <\/p>
