Dragon Door Interviews Kim Vigsbo, RKC Team Leader

Interview by Adrienne Harvey, RKC II, CK-FMS, Primal Move Nat'l Instructor

Mar 29, 2013 10:30 AM

Kim Vigsbo: You need to be safe and execute good form, but I want to bring the love and joy for kettlebells. I love simplicity. I want to show people that just because I'm over 50 years old, I'm not done training or taking care of myself. My fiancée is 55 years old, and is one of the strongest women I know. I’m eating and training right—there’s a reason I look the way I do at 54.

Dragon Door Interviews Laurel Blackburn RKC Team Leader

Interview by Adrienne Harvey, RKC II, CK-FMS, Primal Move Nat'l Instructor

Feb 16, 2013 11:30 AM

Laurel Blackburn: That’s another great thing about kettlebells, the time doesn't have to be split between cardio and strength training. Instead of spending an hour or two at the gym like I used to when I was bodybuilding, I only need 30 minutes. After a short kettlebell workout, my shoulders are pumped, my arms are pumped, and my heart is pounding out of my chest.

Dragon Door: How did you get started with health and fitness? Elliot Newman: Ever since I was about 15, I’ve been very interested in training and health. Over the years, I’ve tried a lot of different things. From a training perspective, I started out with bodybuilding but discovered it wasn't fulfilling for me, so I moved onto powerlifting a few years later. I've also tried many different approaches to eating. In the past few years I’ve educated myself greatly on the subjects of nutrition​

Dragon Door Interviews Master RKC Keira Newton

Interview by Adrienne Harvey, RKC II, CK-FMS, Primal Move Nat'l Instructor

Feb 13, 2013 04:27 PM

Dragon Door: Earlier, you mentioned your husband also trains with kettlebells, did he introduce them to you? Keira Newton: My husband had learned about kettlebells from somebody who was self-taught and thought they knew what to do, even if that wasn't the case. But, my husband was really into it. I thought what he was doing was really bizarre and looked weird—I even used to tease him about it!

Jan 30, 2013 05:27 PM

Dragon Door: How did you first discover kettlebells? Robert Rimoczi: In 2007, someone on my internet forum wrote about the incredible results that could be achieved with kettlebells. I watched several videos and quickly understood some advantages of training with them. My friends are probably still laughing about my first forum comment about kettlebells, it was something like, "That's great, and there's definitely a lot I want to learn, but I think that two 48 kg (the largest Dragon Door...
