Why you should try Kettlebell Sport

Hi friends! I’m excited about this afternoon’s post because it was written by a good friend of mine, and a kettlebell powerhouse: Brittany!

Focus On: SH’BAM

I tried SH’BAM… and I liked it. Is it weird that the reason I’d been holding off is because the name kind of turned me away?
