Treating Asthma: Personalized Medicine

How many of you have Asthma or think they may have Asthma?

I have been diagnosed with Asthma since I was a kid. I was talking with a potential client this afternoon and it got me thinking about why it is so important to go get tested.
I'm not a Doctor and I will not prescribe any treatments, but growing up with this disease really sucked. I was fortunate to have it treated early. I always felt that it held me back when I played sports, such as soccer. For someone like me, that was hard to deal with. I am very competitive and I always wanted to play my best. Asthma should not hold you back from doing what you really love to do. Get it treated and when I mean treated I don't mean just with an inhaler.

I found a great article on Asthma. Please check it out.

Simple but Effective Workout

Kettlebellers,

No more than 5 reps on these movements. Focus on your form, and breathing. Try to think about utilizing every muscle in your body. Tighten the glutes, lock the legs out, tighten your core and make the hand w/o the bell in a tight fist.

5-5-5-5 reps of Shoulder press, L/R alternating hands. (Push your feet into the ground hard).
5-5-5-5 reps of push presses, L/R alternating hands
5-5-5-5 reps of 1 arm swings. Go heavier than your used too.
5-5-5-5 reps of snatches. Again, try and go heavier, lock out at top for 2 seconds.

Make sure you do Halos before you attempt any of these movements.

Enjoy.

Kettlebellers,

In August I am attending the new Certification that RKC is offering. Gray Cook and Brett Jones are the instructors. Please go to DragonDoor.com and click on Workshops to read more about it.

As any RKC instructor will tell you, Pavel and Company does not just hand out Certs. They make you work for it and have a passion to teach to all those who want to make themselves a better trainer. My mission is to instruct and help all my clients understand why they are doing certain KB movements and how they benefit from them.

This Certification, CK-FMS will give me more tools that I need to teach better classes and to give my Clients the best training possible.

Kettlebeller's,

For those who do not know me very well, I do have another passion besides Kettlebells. I love to Golf. I have been playing since I was in middle school and then went on to play for Plymouth Whitemarsh High School.

Thanks to Jackie and Jim Murphy, I was invited to spend some time with Jim Furyk and his wife Tabitha. To me, just being in the room with a PGA Tour player was awesome, let alone getting the opportunity to talk to him. Jim Furyk hosted the Exelon Invitational at the ACE club.

Thanks to Jackie and Jim for giving me an amazing opportunity.
