How to Be Every Inch A Goddess,
Look Like An Immortal… And Feel Like Heaven
By Andrea Du Cane, Senior RKC
I have arranged for These Six Powerful Kettlebell Goddess Workouts
to Destroy the Pitiful Earthling in You and Replace it With a Bona
Fide Godly Bod. Just DO the darn things and I personally guarantee
your results.”—Zeus, Mount Olympus
So… which Goddess do you want to be today? There is finally a
simple way to become the Goddess you’ve always wanted to be.
My Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD helps you do just that.
I have created Six Goddess workouts that represent the special quality
of each Goddess.
Each one is a complete workout from warm up to cool down, and each
workout has its own focus. These workouts are deliberately designed
to challenge and inspire you into the very best shape possible... After
all, your divinity is at stake!
Artemis: Goddess of the Hunt
Workout Focus: Upper Body
Time to be the hunter, not the prey! Just think about Artemis, bow
and arrow in hand. Have you ever used a bow and arrow? Well, it takes
enormous upper body strength and control. Nobody wanted to mess with
Artemis (she had one poor fellow ripped to death by his own hounds
for spying on her naked) and no one’s going to mess with you
after an Artemis workout.
I have created a workout that will dramatically increase your overall
upper body strength.
The exercises include:
Windmills, Chest Press, See Saw Press, French Press, Crush Curl, Swings/Cleans/Snatches.
In this workout there is a nice balance of chest, back, core and
arms. For the back the drills target the lats as well as the rhomboids
and rotator cuff muscles. Windmills strengthen the lats, obliques,
rotator cuff, shoulders and hips. See Saw Press works the lats, shoulders,
arms and a bit of chest. French Press targets the lats, triceps and
rhomboids. Crush Curl, of course works the biceps. And Chest Press
works the pecs and shoulders.
The Artemis workout finishes with a circuit of 10-swings, 10-cleans,
10-snatches each arm.
Auxesia: Goddess of Growth
Workout Focus: Abs & Core
Grow in strength, not body fat! If you are having trouble keeping off
the lard while growing in strength, the Auxesia will fix you up just
fine. Think of growth as starting at the core and radiating outward.
You need a strong core to sustain the external strength of the arms
and legs as well as good balance.
This workout includes: Turkish Get Up, Renegade Rows, Farmers Walks,
Slow KB Twist, Russian Twist and Power Breathing situps. Not only will
you get amazingly strong abs, The TGU and Renegade Rows will strengthen
the shoulders, chest and back.
Have you noticed the flat, toned abs and lean midsections of female
kettlebell athletes? Do you want that for yourself? Then this is the
workout for you.
Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and Military
Victory
Workout Focus: Full Body Strength
The story goes that Athena jumped out of her dad Zeus’s head,
spear and shield in hand, ready to do battle. You’ll feel the
same way after doing this powerful workout. For Athena I created a
balanced workout to strengthen the whole body.
This workout includes: Military Press, Front Squat, Lat Pull, 1-Legged
DL, Clean/Press/Overhead Squat, 10 Swings, 10 Cleans, 10 Snatches and
Standing Power Breathing. This workout is a balance of pulls and presses,
upper and lower body with cardio and abs. This is an awesome workout—just
look at Athena, if you don’t believe me.
Callipygos: Surname for Aphrodite, means “beautiful
buttocks”:
Workout Focus: Legs & Butt
Show me a woman who claims she doesn’t want to own divinely toned
legs and butt, and I’ll show you a liar! Get with the Callipygos
program and your friends will be mad with envy at your newly athletic,
sleek-as-all-get-go lower half.
But I want to warn you, this Callipygos/Aphrodite is no beautiful push-over.
After all, the myth has it she was born from the castrated genitals
of the sky-god Uranos, when they were cast into the sea by his rebellious
son Kronos. Phew! Do I detect a hint of latent testosterone lurking
behind that gorgeous exterior?
This workout includes: Pistols, Front Squat, 1-legged DL, Step-Back
Lunges, Good Mornings, and ends with a circuit of 1-Swing, 1-Clean,
1-Snatch. Each of these exercises targets the butt and legs in slightly
different ways, enhancing the results. For instance, the Front Squat
favors the quad and Good Mornings hit you hard in the hamstring. While
both Pistols and 1-Legged DL require you to work one leg and glute
at a time.
Nike: Goddess of Victory
Workout Focus: Cardio & Endurance
Winner takes all! When you’re Nike you don’t leave anything
on the table. I mean, anything! Nike was known for blazing speed and
athletic achievement. You too, madam, now, you too… This is a
simple yet brutally effective muscular and cardio endurance workout.
As befits the Goddess of Victory…
The Nike workout includes: Clean/Squat/Press, Snatches, Swing/Catch/Squat,
Snatches, Walking Swings, Rolling Deck Squats. If you’re not
streaming with sweat you weren’t doing the Nike workout. This
is an incredibly effective fat-burning workout. I have put in a short
circuit of presses and squats to increase the muscle burn. So not only
are you increasing your heart rate, you are building muscle strength
and endurance.
Odyne: Goddess of Pain
Workout Focus: Strength & Cardio Kick-Butt
How could I resist? Goddess of Pain? Apparently, Odyne made no distinction
between Play and Work… because they both involved sweet, sweet
pain … Perfect!
This workout includes: Swings, 1-Legged MP, Walking Swings, 1-Legged
Lat Pull, Snatches, Dragon Walks, Double Swings, Double Cleans. The
Military Press and Lat pulls are done on one leg, making it much harder
and requires full body tension. Interspersed with variations of swings
and snatches. Enjoy (you sick puppy)!
