Learn the Kettlebell Snatch – Coaching Session with Forest Vance

When it comes to building world class conditioning levels and torching fat FAST, the kettlebell snatch is one of the best exercises around.

And though there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to mastering technique with the move, the GOOD news is that it’s a LOT easier to learn than the same move with a barbell.

Got a new video up for you that breaks down:

— How big of a kettlebell you should be using for the exercise
— The “regular swing – high swing – high pull – snatch” learning progression
— The “low swing – clean – high swing – snatch” learning progression
— The bent arm mistake – and how to fix it
— A key mistake most people make at the BOTTOM of the snatch exercise – and how to fix it

And more!

Thanks for checking out today’s video – hope it helps!

KB Cardio Conditioning Workout

Traditional “cardio” – like running on the treadmill for 30 or 45 mins, or spending the same amount of time on a stationary bike – is BORING!

Plus, doing it in the “traditional” way – at a sustained moderate intensity – isn’t terribly effective for burning fat.

That’s why I love using KETTLEBELLS for cardio.

In just 10 to 15 minutes, you can burn MORE calories that you would in a regular cardio workout … and it’s a lot more fun!

For example, check out this workout from our upcoming 21 Day KBs for Fat Loss Challenge:

#

Kettlebell Cardio Conditioning Workout

– 3 to 5 minute warm up at a low intensity – fast walk, practice swing form

then, do 10 cycles of –

– 30 seconds two hand / one hand / hand to hand KB swings
– 30 seconds walk / easy jog / jump rope

finish with –

– 3 to 5 minute cool down at a low intensity – walk, stretch

#

Add that kettlebell cardio conditioning workout into your workout rotation today to start burning more fat in less time – and have more fun the process.

And if you’re interested in our upcoming 21 Day KBs for Fat Loss Challenge, I’ve copied info on it – and a link to submit your application – below.

Keep training hard –

FVT 21 Day Kettlebell Transformation Program Details

1 – This program is geared towards folks who want to lose fat, gain lean muscle, and make a serious body transformation in 21 days using kettlebells as their training tool of choice (with some body weight exercise mixed in as well).

We are looking for folks who have some training experience, but are looking to take it to the next level. Ideally have a basic idea of how to do basic body weight movements and / or kettlebell exercises. No serious, major injuries or limitations with your workouts. Must have a positive attitude, commit to working HARD, and no whining 🙂

2 – You’ll get a complete kettlebell and body weight – based training plan to help you lose as much fat as humanly possible in 21 days.

3 – You’ll also get a meal plan designed to help you rapidly lose fat over the 21 day period.

4 – We’ll be running the program though my full-blown online coaching platform … so you’ll be able to see your workout for each day on your phone or on your computer in both written and video format, you can log your workouts and progress easily, we can communicate within the app if you have questions at any time, etc

5 – If you have questions about your form / technique on any of the exercises in the program, you can also send me a video of you doing the movement to critique

Couple more things before we get to the application link:

The cost for the 21 day program is $97.

No, it’s not cheap – but it’s a great VALUE for what you get – and it’s significantly less than my Elite Coaching program.

I will be coaching you PERSONALLY over the next 21 days to help you reach your fat loss goals, and showing you how to use kettlebells to do it.

So requirement #1 is, obviously, that you have to be able to afford the cost.

You need to fill out an application – taking some time, thought, and energy to do it – to be considered.

I want to work with people who are SERIOUS, and REALLY WANT to be in this program.

One or two word answers in each application question show me that you are not serious, and really don’t care about getting participating.

Also, given the online, “virtual” coaching format, I am are looking for folks who have some training experience, but are looking to take it to the next level. Ideally you have a basic idea of how to do basic body weight movements and / or kettlebell exercises. And you have no serious, major injuries or limitations with your workouts.

If you feel like you fit the requirements above and you think you’re a good fit, fill out the application form below, and we’ll see if we can get you in:

=> Apply for the 21 Day Kettlebell Transformation Program here

Please note – I will be personally reviewing each application … BUT, given that we typically get 100+ apps for these KB Challenges … I am only able to respond to those applicants who are approved. Sorry – thanks for understanding! 😉

Also, we have a new software system that I believe has significantly improved client experience, and has made the process more efficient for everyone … HOWEVER, we can still only work with up to 15 folks for this program. So, the first 15 folks to apply, get approved, and make payment will secure their spots. Thanks for understanding about this as well.
