In Their Own Words...
In elementary school, I was the last picked for kickball. In junior high track and field, I came in last in the long jump, high jump, shot put, sprints, hurdles, and long distance runs. So you can imagine my surprise when I started working out at Petranek Fitness and subsequently won the Petranek Fitness Challenge. I’ve had other trainers, and I've gotten stronger, but it wasn’t until I started training with Andy that I began to build skills, coordination, and balance. My body is slowly but surely beginning to cooperate with my mind.

Kettlebell Swing


- keep your chest up as if you're doing squats - don't let the kettlebell "pull you over"
- power in this movement all comes from the legs and hips



Lunges


- can be done walking or in place.
- other varieties include front, rear, 45 degree, lateral
- can hold dumbbells at sides or overhead; also barbell across shoulders to increase difficulty



Thrusters


- use momentum to drive the weight overhead



Turkish Get Ups


- keep your eyes on the dumbbell and your arm straight at all times
