Ray recently shared his struggles in our Facebook group. We loved the thoughts so much that we wanted to share it with more people!
Transformations come in all shapes and sizes. Our last member spotlight showed how Michael changed his body over the course of his first year at Spindle. In this one, we will focus on how people can make lasting changes here at Spindle; in particular, how we build competence and autonomy in our members while they enjoy the motivational benefits in our community.
Today we have another addition to our Movement Focus articles, a series of blog posts devoted to specific movements we use in our exercise library to make people stronger, fitter, and in general more awesome and beastly.
There’s a very special vibe spreading around Spindle lately. It’s not summer and it’s not sweat. It’s the presence of hard work and effort that our female members are putting into their strength training programs. In years past, lifting weights was considered more of a men’s activity. Things are changing and there are plenty of women here at Spindle showing everyone this is simply not true.
Todays movement focus is the Kettlebell Swing, also known as “the athlete building fat-burner." The Swing had a long history in Russia before it was transported to the United States by ex-Russian Special Forces trainer Pavel Tsatsouline. Upon arrival it became an essential tool in the fitness world for it’s versatility and utility.
