I was recently asked by two friends Steve Cotter and Ken Blackburn to present a module at the IKFF Level 2 certification. What a great weekend and an unbelievable opportunity! Steve and Ken started the International Kettlebell Fitness Foundation this year and it has really exploded. They are presenting everywhere.
Those of you familiar with the Kettlebell world will know Steve Cotter as an amazing athlete and terrific instructor. He and Ken are very generous with their knowledge and work hard to present. To be a part of this organization is quite an honor.
Dr. Ed started everybody off with Qi Gong, this set the tone with breathing exercises. Then Ken followed up with a warm up of the joints (Joint Mobility Module) and I continued with the Active Isolated Stretching portion. Steve’s ordering of the exercises is actually genius-starting internally (Qi Gong), then to the joints & muscles. By then the body was ready for Steve’s Dynamic Movement Module.
I would like to thank Steve and Ken for giving me the opportunity to present Active Isolated Stretching to the members of IKFF and look forward to working with them in the future.
Any time I get to spend with the top people in the fitness industry is always an amazing experience!

That had to be an incredible weekend. You gotta be stoked to be in that situation!
Larry,
Let’s bring some of those kettle bell exercises into our work outs. What’s the deal with all of those different pull ups on the web site? I can do 3 regular ones…lot’s of room for improvement. Keep up the good work.
