Safety First!!

Along with setting a baseline (movement screen) and building a home routein, establishing an understanding of the basic rules of safety is our primary concern with all new clients. Because the safety rules are so important, I feel the need to remind everyone of what they are.

General Safety:

1) check with docs before you start training

2) always be aware of your surroundings

3) wear authorized shoes, or better yet, none at all

4) never contest for space with a kettlebell

5) practice all safety measures at all times

6) keep moving once your heart rate is high

7) build up the training load gradually using common sense, and listen to your body

8) instruction cannot cover all contingencies, and there is no substitute for good judgement


Safety as a part of, not the opposite of, performance:

1) hips first!

2) stay tight through the middle!

3) keep your shoulders in their sockets!

4) maintain good posture

5) don't slouch forward, extend back when stretching your back

6) pay attention to your breath

7) keep your wrists straight

8) keep your elbows straight

9) "tame the exercise"

10) take care of your hands and feet


So train hard, but be smart, and be safe
Power to You
