At age 52, I was having trouble with my knees. My life has always included recreational activity and regular trips to the gym. After separate arthroscopic meniscus trimming on both knees, I was having pain, discomfort and stiffness in both knees. My kids were harassing me for the various remedies I was collecting in my personal medicine cabinet. Particularly frustrating were the activities I was forced to give up - jogging, recreational walking and any weight bearing exercise. I changed my diet to avoid foods that may have been contributing to my knee, joint pain. Revisiting my orthopedist, going to my physical therapist for three months, stretching and trying to gradually increase my activity level were all equally unproductive and unsuccessful.

Brad came to my attention as he was the only RKC instructor in my area. While not actively researching kettlebells, they seemed a possible alternative to my trips to the gym. Those efforts with machines and free weights were producing a gradually diminishing benefit. After seeing Brad for a complimentary introduction, the kettlebell exercises seemed to provide a cardiovascular, strength, flexibility workout that I could vary and get the same benefit as going to the gym. I wanted a good workout with noticeable results in strength, stamina, and energy that I had not been able to enjoy for a few years. I am continuing to learn the kettlebells from Brad, and am looking forward to using them in my home to minimize my workout time, and maximize the overall benefit with a variety of routines. That has been exciting and just what I was looking for in a convenient, effective workout technique that I lost years ago with free weights.

My greatest surprise was how much Brad helped my knees the first time I saw him! No way. That was not even on my radar! With the joint flexibility and comfortable strength enhancing exercises Brad demonstrated, my knees felt better the very next day. I do not say that lightly. I was not expecting that at all! Now a month later, my knees feel better than they have in years. I have been amazed. Stairs, walking, are more comfortable than I ever expected. Brad gifted me this benefit after getting no significant relief from my orthopedist or my dedicated physical therapists.
Thanks Brad!
