CrossFit KB Cert

The weekend was time well spent with the great KB expert Jeff Martone. I have a video of Jeff juggling, doing the helicopter, and flipping a 53lb kettlebell, but was unable to load it. Well to my surprise the certification focused some on joint mobility and flexibility. Necks, Shoulders, Elbows, Wrist&Fingers, Spine, Hips, and Knees as a warm-up for the kettlebells. Most of these stretches relate back to my Yoga belief, that everyone needs it before and after a CrossFit WOD. After two days of training we had to take a Kettlebell Performance Test. We had to do 5-10 reps for every exercise and perform it correctly.
