wrote This course will teach you technique to make you drastically stronger with more endurance. If you can do something with bad technique you can probably do it with good technique while increasing your power and safety. In that sense you'll ac...tually find training to get easier while you increase the volume of resistance you can handle. But of course we're going to challenge ourselves. =)

Q: Sounds intriguing...is the price for the whole 8 sessions? A: Correct. I'm trying to be more accessible to the activist community and I'm trying to give back to those who work on many different fronts. This class is one of my best deals. I'm also open to other project ideas to get our community fit. -Gregory Landess

Training teaches harmony necessary for personal and community development. A fitness lifestyle will make you feel better while increasing your ability to perform at a higher level, helping yourself and helping others. The goal of this workshop is to make people fit for daily living. What is a kettlebell?: As a tool a kettlebell is simply a weight with an off-center handle. The weight distribution of a kettlebell demands that you counter balance the external resistance creating a flexible strength, expanding range of motion and recruiting stabilizer muscles while providing other benefits. The ergonomic design of kettlebells also provide another major benefit in allowing you to swing the weight. These ballistic swinging exercises teach trainees how to handle weight with momentum. Workshop Itinerary: 1.Mobility – Learn how to increase your ability to move. These exercises will enhance your ability to perform while improving your health and energy flow. Feel better, improve attitude, remedy illness and reduce pain with these techniques and practices. 2.Strength – The ability to apply strength is a learned skill. Many of us are unable to apply our strength because in our efforts we're stepping on the gas and brake at the same time. The problem often isn't the hardware but rather our bodies software. Reprogram your wiring to instantly see the strength of a mutant. 3.Endurance – Learn techniques to instantly improve your cardiovascular abilities so you can make it through the day with time for what is important to you and energy to spare. 4. Nutrition – Although these methods might allow you to live on fried chicken and ice cream while maintaining a body worthy of a statue, this approach isn't recommended. Live better and feel better with proven nutritional guidelines and practices. Perform better with simple dietary adjustments. 5. Program design – It is about how you put it all together. There are 100 ways to get to the same place. Chart a course that works best for you and conquer goals you never imagined.

wrote The connection to the left is about community and spirituality. I'm referring to the Left as people who advocate progressive evolutionary political and social change as well as those Left behind by the mainstream. This class is a direct action to share the gifts of physical culture I have learned with the individuals in the activist community that I love and appreciate. It is also a chance to establish new networks and relationships with like minded folks. We are pioneers. I find a need to strengthen the left as a means to assuage stress and empower leaders. What does fitness and health for the left mean to you? Is it possible to organize communities and stage rallies when you're malnourished and immobile? Will strength training help social change? I think so |

Q: What, if anything, about this curriculum has anything to do with leftist politics? A: It's important that we question everything and your inquiry gave me a chance to be a little more clear on the course purpose. This could be a long discussion that is beyond the scope of this event wall but please feel free to continue the topic here or I'd be glad to share more in another format. I created this course hoping to meet and teach many great people. Many of those people whom I specifically had in mind are extraordinary people I'm excited to train with and I'm sure the new additional faces will complete a powerful class. I have found my greatest training gains were delivered by a clear intention to conquer challenges and make the world a better place. This seemed to get me much further than a simple desire to get a six pack (which you'll still get). I've also found that the lessons learned from moving iron correlate directly with the force needed to move society. I'm thrilled to see what we'll create with the energy at the Brecht. -Gregory Landess

Many of us on the left have let our health priorities fade as we're forced to deal with the unfair mental and spiritual burdens placed upon us as we strive for social justice. We are also repelled by mainstream fitness which is corrupted by body image issues, consumer gimmicks and misinformation that leaves the trainee feeling less than empowered. Training teaches harmony necessary for personal and community development. A fitness lifestyle will make you feel better while increasing your ability to perform at a higher level, helping yourself and helping others. My goal is to make people fit for daily living. If you are fit we'll make you an athlete. Athletes will be turned into champions. Perhaps you have struggled with fitness your entire life. Make the choice, say yes to strength, put these techniques under your belt and never look back. What is a kettlebell?: The Russian word for kettlebell, “girya” was first found in the Russian dictionary in the 1700's. More important than the weight itself is the technique demanded to manipulate the object. Practicing kettlebells teaches you techniques applicable to any situation life may put you in. As a tool a kettlebell is simply a weight with an off-center handle. Aside from the Russian history, examples of training with leverage modified weights have been seen in many cultures. You will never find a weight as symmetrical as a dumbbell or machine in real life. When you do an exercise with a dumbbell, say an overhead press, no matter what the weight is, the balance is set so you move in the same groove regardless of weight difference. This leads to the stereotypical stiffness found in many weightlifters. The weight distribution of a kettlebell demands that you counter balance the external resistance creating a flexible strength, expanding range of motion and recruiting stabilizer muscles while providing other benefits. The ergonomic design of kettlebells also provide another major benefit in allowing you to swing the weight. These ballistic swinging exercises teach trainees how to handle weight with momentum. A football player may be able to bench press 300lbs but in a game that player needs to be able to handle that weight rushing at them with momentum and intentions of off balancing. A child may only weigh 50lbs but a mother must be able to root her energy and control that mass of momentum as it goes darting into traffic. Kettlebell training translates into real world functional, practical strength. Any practice that works requires an element of hard work. I won't say kettlebell training is an easy way to reach your goals but I can guarantee it as an efficient means of progress. Your development will be undeniable. Workshop Itinerary: 1.Mobility – You will not be able to utilize your strength if you can't move. Learn how to increase your ability to move. These exercises will enhance your ability to perform while improving your health and energy flow. Feel better, improve attitude, remedy illness and reduce pain with these techniques and practices. 2.Strength – The ability to apply strength is a learned skill. Extremely strong people didn't just wake up one day to set a world record. They spent time working hard and fine tuning their nervous systems. Learn how to develop superhuman strength with the body you have. Many of us are unable to apply our strength because in our efforts we're stepping on the gas and brake at the same time. The problem often isn't the hardware but rather our bodies software. Reprogram your wiring to instantly see the strength of a mutant. 3.Endurance – One hour at the gym won't make up for 23 hours on the couch. Learn techniques to instantly improve your cardiovascular abilities so you can make it through the day with time for what is important to you and energy to spare. In life's marathon your legs will only get you so far. Maintaining a never say die attitude takes technique and strategy. 4. Nutrition – Although my methods will allow you to live on fried chicken and ice cream while maintaining a body worthy of a statue, this approach isn't recommended. Live better and feel better with proven nutritional guidelines and practices. Perform better with simple dietary adjustments. 5. Program design – It is about how you put it all together. There are 100 ways to get to the same place. Chart a course that works best for you and conquer goals you never imagined. $75-$100 |
