Kettlebells Meet Edina SWAT

Thursday Oct 14, 2010 10:00am.  Edina SWAT rolls into RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge

Diva Class: “Are you and Kurt under investigation?”

Brad:  “No, they are here to challenge you :)

Diva Class:  “BRING IT ON!!”

Edina SWAT members experience the power of the kettlebell for the first time.  I met captain Kevin Rofidal at the SOTA (Special Operations Training Association) Conference this past spring.  I presented kettlebells in to a community of guys who need to be ready for anything at any time while making very quick decisions under stress.  Kevin was the first to approach me about working his team.

Kettlebells are absolutely incredible for law enforcement, military, paramedics…anyone who has the demands of a physical job.  Implementing strength, flexibility and burst training –kettlebells, in my opinion, are the ultimate all-in-one conditioning tool.  If you are looking for pure strength and mass ONLY, then barbell training (deadlift, squats) is in order.

Here’s Kurt and I with the crew…

Brad Nelson Trains Kettlebells with Edina SWAT

Thanks to Kevin and the entire Edina SWAT Team for investing in learning something new!  Glad we could help out those who serve and protect on a daily basis.

Rant #17 – Jillian Michaels: The Quagmire

TV Trainer Should “Return Her Kettlebell

“Quagmire” an awkward, complex, or embarrassing situation [as defined by dictionary.com]

Jillian’s back with her new Kettlebell DVD.  And she has successfully shown millions of Americans

how to hurt themselves.

Epic Fail - Jillian Michaels

This has zero to do with what kettlebell “camp” you are from…and everything to

do with an acceptable agreement of form.

Yours Truly was quoted regarding my fondness for Jillian in this Yahoo! article (Read everything here)

This ranks HIGH on the …

Awesome Meter

I am sure that Jillian is a great person.  In fact some day maybe we will meet and we can talk shop.

All I’m saying is as a “fitness professional” we have a DUTY to change this planet and do so in a way that

EMPOWERS people to take back control of their fitness, exercise and nutrition.

Oh yeah.  According to sources Jill only “plays” personal trainer on TV.

Welcome to Hollywood.

Welcome to the BeatDown.

Fat Loss Tip #11 – Jelly or Jam?

Fat Loss Tip #11
Jelly or Jam?

Jam.  As in “jam” to music. The rock gods invented the iPod for you to collect the classics and rock out. Zeppelin, The Cult, GNR, Alice in Chains, Metallica, whatever gets you moving…even if it’s Kate Perry (not my style).

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Led Zeppelin is still my favorite group of all-time. R.I.P John Bonham epic drummer.

Led Zeppelin - epic music

Summer is here. Get outside, get some music Crankin’ and get a workout in.

Preferable to jam to upbeat and fast tunes…”allegre” for the band geeks.

Crank it!
