Fitness and Kettlebell Expert Dale Buchanan’s Reaction to Jillian Michael's Article

Oct. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser recently got trashed by a write for the LA Times about her horrible kettlebell instruction DVD and her credentials as a fitness expert. The LA Times article quoted 2 Russian Kettlebell Challenge instructors and got their opinion as well.

Dale Buchanan, the only full time RKC kettlebell instructor in Palm Beach County, says “Jillian is doing nothing good for the fitness community by putting out a DVD on Kettlebell Training when she has no experience with kettlebells.  I have people come to my Boca Raton studio all the time who have learned poor technique and actually have gotten injured by trying to learn kettlebells from unqualified fitness trainers.”

A Kettlebell, or a cannonball with a handle, has become a popular weightlifting tool from Russia and has been around for over 300 years. Here in the US it started to become popular about 9 years ago when Pavel Tsatsouline teamed up with Dragon Door publication to offer the Russian Kettlebell Challenge instructor certification program. Russian Kettlebell training has exploded and become very popular with celebrities and athletes.

Kettlebell instruction requires an extensive background and training to be truly safe and effective.  RKC kettlebell instructors have undergone the world's most rigorous of kettlebell instructor certification courses and are fully qualified to instruct and train people in proper kettlebell technique.

“I hold a 3 hour monthly Kettlebell Basics Workshop at my studio each month to teach people the fundamentals of kettlebell lifting and how to properly perform 3 exercises: the swing, Turkish Get Up, and the Goblet Squat.  That’s 3 hours for 3 exercises. Can you imagine the attention to detail that goes into this type of class?  How can you learn effective and proper kettlebell technique from a DVD taught by an unqualified celebrity trainer such as Jillian Michaels? ” says Dale.
