The Denver Lowdown: The Kitten Kettlebell Riot Fest 2015

27th August 2015

There comes a time in everyone’s lives when there must be a decision made. Some of those decisions are big, others are very small, but they are an obstacle that simply must be overcome. What’s the decision you ask? It’s what are you going to do this weekend?

Fear not, you indecisive weekend-goers, the fine folks at EveryBlock have come together with those of us at The Denver Lowdown to help narrow down those very decisions into a nice, neat list. 

So, what’s going down this weekend at the Lowdown?

Friday:

Sunrise: Kettlebell Fundamentals

Ah the Kettlebell, that heavy weight thing with one handle that you’re not quite sure how to use. Well, if you’d like to learn how to work on your core, strength, and endurance with one super-heavy weight ball, then the Kettlebell is your jam. All sizes and abilities are welcome, if you’re new you can learn, if you’re intermediate you can improve, if you’re an expert you’re probably teaching the class. //5:45am, Free, Colorado Kettlebell Club Denver, 4697 E.
