Kettlebell demonstration on The Biggest Loser

This is what NOT to do, guys.
Please, please do not let any of your friends take kettlebell training tips from Jillian Michaels. (Or any other non-RKC for that matter!)
Please do not use a tiny blue 10lb(?) kettlebell and expect to get any results. Please view this video as a great example of what to avoid!
If you have a trainer who advocates these ridiculous front raises - run away, and quickly!!



If you would like to learn the correct, safe, and effective way to incorporate kettlebells into your fitness routine, send me an
email
. Or, simply attend one of our group kettlebell classes, for all levels, at Clover Park in Santa Monica, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm.
Follow the link to KBLA on the right for more information and a map, if desired.
And if you bring one of those tiny bells with you... well, we'll help you find a more suitable use for it. ;)

Thanks for sharing. I've heard about this but missed seeing it. Now I know what everybody's talking about.

I love the laughter in the background! That's the most absurd thing ever... how could they air that??

Ahem... I agree with your first sentence, "Please, please do not let any of your friends take kettlebell training tips from Jillian Michaels."

But have to take offense to the second, "Or any other non-RKC for that matter!" =P

Haha!!! Yes, Howie, there are a couple very strong exceptions. ;D

Nikki, in case you didn't know, Jilian has a fitness game for the Nintendo Wii. It won't be long before there's a wii-mote in the shape of a kettlebell. You'll be able to do swings for everyone to a hot beat and dazzle all your friends at parties. yay!

I find it disturbing that someone with her level of influence wouldn't tell the producders, "look this isn't in my circle of knowledge folks. Let's find someone who can help us out." Her ego didn't allow for that apparently.

Poor Jillian... she lost some credibility with that clip. What's disturbing is she's not the only one I've seen on video do a swing that way.
