Queen of Swing, Tracy Reifkind's DVD, "Programming the Kettlebell Swing"



I have been a huge fan of Tracy ever since I found her blog in late 2008. I needed a different type of workout and I was so fortunate to have found my new program on her blog, "Tracy Reifkind's Living My Physical Potential". Her program is built around the Kettlebell Swing, but it's the "Tracy's Style Kettlebell Swing". Her style and workouts are highly effective for WEIGHT LOSS, increasing endurance, WEIGHT LOSS, quickness, WEIGHT LOSS, strength, WEIGHT LOSS and so much more.
FINALLY, Tracy has taken her blog to real life with her newly released dvd "Tracy Reifkind's Progamming the Kettlebell Swing". This video is EXCELLENT! She will quickly teach you how to take the Swing to another level! Tracy shares her personal 100+ pound weight loss success story utilizing the "Tracy's Style Kettlebell Swing". The "Progamming the Kettlebell Swing" gives outstanding step by step instruction on swing variations, swings for high reps, how to swing heavier, speed swings, sample workouts, "how to" drills, and so much more. She show you how to utilize her style for the beginner swinger to the advanced RKC instructor. Tracy's dvd provides so much variety that you will never get bored! Trust me, I've done her workouts and I have never been bored. Drenched in sweat and tired maybe, but not bored!
I highly recommend "Programming the Kettlebell Swing" to everyone! It will help you in so many ways you will not believe!!

Tracy Reifkind's Swing Workouts = WEIGHTLOSS!!!

Let me tell how much I love Tracy Reifkind's swing workouts! I try her program for approximately 4 months, and let me tell you the pounds just GO!!! This is one of the best conditioning workouts I have ever used. I took a break from the program. I started back today and let me tell you, IT KICKED MY TAIL! I quickly remembered how challenging her workouts can be. My heart rate was through the roof! The cool thing about Tracy's swing style is the nice soulful, rhythmic flow that I experience doing it. I think that is what helps me get through the workout. I feel like I am dancing at various speeds, sometimes easy, sometimes hard, fast and/or aggressive. The "Roundabout" combinations and "Speed" swings are my favorite. If you don't know about Tracy Reifkind, RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge) instructor, I highly suggest you find out about her 100 + POUNDS weightloss journey and her kettlebell training at http://tracyrif.blogspot.com/.

College Softball Player chooses Kettlebell Training During Off Season!




Elizabeth Crowe wanted to try something different during her off season from softball. This smart lady decided on kettlebell training!! Liz plays for Mary Washington University in Virginia. She will be returning to school in a week better than ever for the season. Liz committed herself to four weeks of training and did an outstanding job! We focused on her learning the basic kettlebell exercise drills and learning good technique. During her training, the Swing and Turkish Get-up was heavily emphasized. These two drills are essential and will definitely make her a powerful and better player. As the weeks went by, she turned into a serious swinging and snatching queen. On Liz's last kettlebell session, she successfully double snatched two 16kg (35.4pds) kettlebells!!! Great job Liz! Knock 'em out this season and KEEP SWINGING THE KETTLEBELL!!!

Erin Cianciolo is NOT Jokin' w/ the 24KG Kettlebell!!














What more can I say, Erin Cianciolo is one HARD WORKIN', STRONG lady. She accomplished her pistol with ease using a 24kg (52.3 pounds) Dragon Door kettlebell with me for the 1st time yesterday!! She is 4'11 and 1/2", weighs 105pds and is one of the strongest females I know. I have had the priviledge of knowing her for 4 years, and as well as working with her throughout the years. During this time, I've watched how hard she has worked to achieve her fitness goals as well as building a great physique by lifting heavier weights, such as squating 195pds, deadlifts at 225pd, pullups, swings, snatches, etc... Bottom line, she is not taking body pump or using that darn thigh machine to have the body or the strength she has. Besides being a "Strength Queen", she is a wonderful mother of 3 children!! I'm very proud of Erin and all her hard work she has done to achieve her personal and athletic goals. Keep rollin' Erin!! Go for your next goal of becoming Crossfit certified! You and your achievements are a true inspiration to all women! BTW- to all the women that consistently ask how to look like Erin, put the 5 pounds weights down and stop eating ice cream coffee crap at Starbucks!
