Lift It Now, Drink It Later!

Thursday, November 20, 2008

When new clients are introduced to training with kegs for the first time, that’s normally their first
response.

Though I’ve heard that remark a million times, it still makes me smile because most people have
a slightly different perception of what they would normally be doing with a keg!

But I digress ; )

We take empty kegs, fill them with varying amounts of water, and them use them to train with.

Their advantage over traditional barbells and dumbbells is that the water sloshing around inside
makes them unstable, thus making all of your core muscles work that much harder during
the workout.

Also, since we don’t always lift things that are nice and perfectly balanced in real life, keg training
prepares you for safely picking up things that are awkward,; like kids, small woodland creatures,
and hey... kegs for your party!

Speaking of parties, that’s Suzanne in the picture, laying the smacketh down on a pony keg.

She’s lost a bunch of weight over the last few months and went from being the resident whiner
to the resident winner.

Her grunts, yelps and Wooooo’s keep the 9am class fun and energy charged!
