FELLOW AKC COACHES SPEAK OUT
Lorraine Patten
AKC Certified Coach
I made the pilgrimage to Long Island to work out with the best - Mike Stefano and Ashley (who like Madonna does not even need a last name). What a great day and I'm lucky indeed to have them -sort of - in my backyard! Next to Fedorenko and his crew, I don't think there are any better coaches out there right now!

Ashley is truly a unique talent! Not only is she a motor genius herself but she is quick to pick up on what everyone else is doing and put them on the right track again. She helped me tremendously! I can't wait for Miami - Ashely is going to have such a good time.

As for Mike - I wish I were his next door neighbor! Oh the training fun to be had. If you are in the area and not training with Mike you are really missing something. It was a great day.

Marco Svagna
AKC Certified Coach
I can echo your sentiments, Lorraine. I live about a thirty minutes away from Mike. I had my first session with him on Saturday, he's a great coach. Anyone living in the area should indeed be training with him. By the way Mike, my drop on the snatch has gotten better, thanks!

Lauri Rudach
AKC Certified Coach
Hey Mike and Ash, thanks so much for the help. I sure learned a ton of stuff. Worth the trip from Philadelphia!

Eddie Friedman
AKC Certified Coach
In this time and place where most folks still don't know what a KB is, I was blessed to learn that I live about 20 miles from AKC Coach Mike Stefano. Coach Mike and Coach Ashley, who works with him, are both great. I've had a couple sessions at their training center, and plan to have my progress periodically coached by them.

MORE BENEFITS OF KETTLEBELLS
For example, here's a few specific benefits that proper kettlebell lifting delivers to firefighters, but the same benefits can be applied to you.

A kettlebell-trained firefighter can expect to last longer on the nozzle and handle a more agressive hose advance. S/he will stay stronger and endure longer while performing structural overhaul. Increased lung capacity will extend air cylinder and breathing time, and assist in climbing many flights of stairs with a standard load.

Extreme arm and shoulder strength make easy work of heavy ladders and pulling large diameter hose long distances. The typical firefighter will also experience a much quicker recovery, and maybe most importantly, added protection from a serious cardiovascular incident or even a fatal heart attack because of his / her explosive work capacity.

By now it should be obvious what kettlebell lifting can do. Besides the extreme strength / endurance developed, overall cardiovascular conditioning, explosiveness, timing, and the ability to contract and relax your muscles rapidly (the mark of a true athlete) are all enhanced.
