Today’s episode is for everyone who has walked past those kettlebells and thought “those look cool but I have no idea what to do with them and I’m afraid I’ll hurt my back.”

My guest today is Coach Gretchen Meyers. You met her at the end of 2020 as we discussed our perspective and hope as trainers as we enter the new year. (And if you didn’t hear that conversation this is your invitation because she brings some really great stuff to it) Today we get really technical and dig into kettlebells, which I share I’m not entirely educated or comfortable with.
