But first, Did You See what Steve and Corinne Did? This power couple pulled together to MAKE huge changes in only 8 weeks!
Before Seacoast Kettlebell Steve went to Planet Fitness Monday-Friday at 5:00 am and lifted weights. I ran pretty regularly. I signed up to do a Spartan race and wasn’t sure how to prepare for that besides running. My cousin, Scott P, told me about Seacoast Kettebell and said it would be great to get you ready for a Spartan race. I signed up in March 2012 and loved it right away. I kept telling Steve about it because he was getting kind of bored at the gym. He started a month later and like me, loved it right away. We ate just OK, trying to eat healthy but nothing consistent.
We were very excited to do the Leaner, Faster, Stronger challenge in April. It was very easy to follow but it was also challenging. Sometimes you just wanted to eat what you wanted to eat. Knowing it was a challenge we wanted to do the best we could do. Having another couple, Mark and Ann B, to feed off of encourage each other and get food ideas from and share how we were doing helped. Jenny RD was wonderful knowing we couple pop in or email with any questions or concerns and she would be there with helpful advice and encouragement.
Steve lost 42 LBS ad 16 inches and I lost 18 LBS an 11 inches.
We feel great! We have decided to cut out diary from our diet and complex carbs. That being said, the weekends we have cheat meals. We will have pizza with cheese, sandwiches with bread, etc. Monday through Friday we are strict without food intake. Steve’s favorite exercises are the ab wheel, bench press, shoulder press, and snatches. Steve hates thrusters and pistol squats.
My favorite exercises are snatches and squats. My least favorite is planks.
Our favorite cheat meal is Pizza from Station.
We LOVE Seacoast Kettlebell!! We have met some wonderful people who have become great friends. This gym is like a family. There are great trainers who truly care about you, who encourage you, push you and praise you.
Thank you Colin and SKB Staff for all you do!

There is nothing simpler than picking something heavy up from the ground. Next to the squat it’s a fundamental human movement pattern. It builds more muscle and burns more fat than almost any other exercise around!
The sad part is that most folks do it wrong.
Mess it up, and you are setting yourself up for injury or at least a visit to the chiropractor.
In fact a huge cause of low back injuries stems from bending and twisting at the same time—like when you bend over and rotate to grab a dish from the dishwasher—then snap!
Do it right and it will build bulletproof glutes, hamstrings and lower back.
They pick up something heavy with a rounded back.
The human spine is designed to flex, otherwise you would have a femur in your back, but it’s not a great idea to do so under load.
It doesn’t matter if you are picking up a child, heavy box, sandbag, kettlebell or a barbell. The mechanics always remain the same. We will show you the safe way to deadlift at Seacoast Kettlebell!
