January has been a great month for the Hels Bells club members, they have been focused and working hard with classes well attended.<\/p>

We have three new focuses in class; two handed swings, walks and the TGU! All of which are progressing well. The loaded carries are supporting us to be ready for the Kettlebell Mile Challenge that club members will be taking part in on Saturday March 19th. Each club member will complete a mile lap around Portishead Marina carrying a 16kg (ladies) and a 24kg (men) as they walk. The aim is to walk as quickly as we can can and throughout the course of the day complete a marathon. We will be raising awareness and funds for Bowel Cancer UK a charity close to the hearts of many club members. More details to follow soon, but we plan to have a cake sale and a charity sponsor link will be available soon so you can support us along the way!\"\"
So, on to club member of the month for January. Never an easy decision as there are lots of individuals who have trained hard this month. However one in particular has stood out to me because of the progress made. I am delighted to announce that the Hels Bells club member for January, and the first member of the month for 2022, goes to Lisa.\"\"
Lisa joined the club last summer after completing the Unlock Yourself challenge as we emerged from lockdown in Spring 2021! Lisa had such success on the challenge she joined the club and has been training ever since. During the challenge, Lisa made sustainable nutritional changes to support her lifestyle which boosted her energy levels alongside a reduction in weight and body fat. It was a pleasure to watch her progress throughout the challenge\"\"

In class Lisa works hard every session and is keen to improve and get stronger. She listens carefully to advise and acts upon it, which means her technique is improving all the time. In particular Lisa has worked hard to improve her squat, increasing the depth and preventing her legs from falling in, these improvements mean she is is much safer and stable now. She has also come on leaps and bounds with her Turkish Get Up, initially finding it a challenging move to load but now performing it confidently with a 10kg. That 12 is in sight! Most recently our 'on the minute' two handed swing focus has seen Lisa move up to using a 16kg and she demonstrates power and explosiveness with every rep. It's great watching Lisa get stronger.<\/p>

\"\"

Lisa has an infectious energy and smile and is a great supporter of other club members; always encouraging them throughout the session. I can rely on her to make others feel welcome and she is kind to everyone she works with. Her demanding job means kettlebells is a real stress outlet where she can 'park' what else has gone on in the day and focus on the session in hand.<\/p>

It really is a pleasure to coach you Lisa and you fully deserve Hels Bells Club Member of the month for January. This is going to be a strong year for you and I feel privileged to support you along the way.<\/p>
