#TEAMFOUNDRY
Girevoy/Kettlebell Sport is a specialized form of weight training with kettlebells that requires the athlete to work under physical and mental stress while remaining calm and even quiet to focus on energy conservation. This is more than simple weightlifting. Kettlebell sport is designed to expand our strength-endurance capacity under a sub-maximal load over time - fancy terms for moving weight in a ballistic fashion, but under control and with precision. Work every muscle in your body, all at the same time. Kettlebells are a powerful training tool used for ballistic mulit-joint movements requiring full body integration and core stabilization. Kettlebell lifting methods were designed to increase strength, stamina, and coordination by challenging our muscular, cardiovascular and central nervous systems simultaneously. This is the ultimate mind-body connection and anyone can benefit.
Three main lifts are studied, dissected and drilled. They are the Jerk, the Snatch and the Long Cycle (Clean and Jerk). Supplemental exercises are also given during class to increase strength and thus proficiency in each lift.
