Oliver, a classical composer who loves to groove to Salsa, Hip Hop, and all sorts of other eccentric world music, is our kind of people. He says he’s here for the workout (and his daily pull-up practice), but we have a sneaking suspicion it has more to do with our PA System.
On Kat’s (right) recommendation, Val (left) joined the Ice Chamber despite the killer commute she’d have to face to get here from either Walnut Creek or UC Davis. Yikes! Yes, the distance is tough on her, but Val says it’s worth it. She’s losing weight and getting stronger by the day. She even bought her very own kettlebell to snuggle with at home.
IC superstars spend time on the other side of the world:
Sisters Nani (in red) and Lulit proudly sported their IC tees while in Ethiopia in January. Can anyone guess how much weight Nani has lost since she started training at the IC? Stay tuned to find out…
Foreste wore her IC hoodie with the U.S. Ski Team at the Trofeo Topolino in Italy this month. Foreste ranked top 20 out of 108 girls and was the only American female to finish and score!
Kristin and Heidy rocked 10 minutes of the one arm long cycle tonight. These fierce and relentless moms totaled close to 200 reps!
Maya practicing the Long Cycle as defined by the World Kettlebell Club.
1. Swing action: back
2. Swing action: forward
3. Rack position (completion of the Clean)
4-5. Double dip action: dip from rack position, pushing the kettlebells out of the rack position with leg drive, finishing with arms locked and legs bent
6. Final fixation: legs and arms at full lockout (completion of the Jerk)
Since this new mom and dad team joined the IC approximately two months ago, Calvin has lost 15 lbs. and Sherry is down almost 10 lbs. It’s hard to believe these two athletes have a brand new baby at home (and a busy two-year old). Welcome aboard!
The rope wave wars were grueling this morning. We tried our best to divide the teams fairly, but the judges may have been in on the take. In the end, it was all love.
