Disturbing Discovery

"We’d be totally exhausted and the Russians wouldn’t even be catching their breath,” says an off duty Secret Service agent . . . . . . It turned out they were all working out with kettlebells. . . Now, half the Secret Service
is snatching kettlebells.
— Christian Science Monitor, June 2004

Very Different . . .

“ It’s challenging,” said Pavel Tsatsouline, a kettlebell trainer and former instructor for the Russian special forces who helped introduce kettlebells to the United States. “It challenges the heart, the muscles, everything. You get a workout quickly. But you have to work. You can’t sit and watch CNN and do kettlebells. It feels very liberating. I think people are tired of sitting around like gerbils on machines. ”
—– New York Times, December 2008
