I've been a runner for seven years during which time I completed six full marathons. While I always felt the need to work my core and upper body muscles, I've never enjoyed using free weights and machines. I started taking Richard Lehman's kettlebell class at my YMCA by chance and his workout totally changed my perception of strength training. You will be amazed by how fun and challenging it can be simultaneously with a good instructor like Richard, who has solid knowledge about proper technique and what each exercise does for your body. I also particularly like that Richard demonstrates techniques with very clear, to-the-point instructions without slowing down the class -- particularly beneficial for those looking to improve their endurance. If you are new to or curious about kettlebells and if you are serious about your overall health, I highly recommend that you go straight to Richard Lehman.
