Be Physical - For those who strive to be healthy, it might be a daily struggle to see through the mass of information thrown at you by the media, advised by “professionals” or advertised by the next great weight loss sensation. This artificial “health” quite often leaves the individual disheartened and deficient. What if health isn’t just about the number on the scale? What if it could it be about happiness — contentment, balance and health — in the true sense of the word?

Kettlebells - Ancient Tool Finds Modern Application - Since their re-introduction to American soil in 2000, Russian Kettlebells have exploded onto the scene as the ultimate form of functional fitness! The girya, or kettlebell, was first recorded in a Russian dictionary in 1704(Cherkikh, 1994). It is a cast ironweight that resembles a cannonball with a handle. The initial popularity of kettlebells in ancient Russian society fell to farmers, militia, and other laypersons. These strongmen became known as gireviks, and were highly respected for their ruggedness and honorability. The Russian magazine Hercules stated in 1913, “not a single sport develops our muscular strength and bodies as well as kettlebell athletics.”
