About Me
- Tracy Reifkind
- I'm currently having the time of my life living and writing about food, diet, training and exercise. I'm happy, confident and strong. I'm proud of my 25 year marriage, my husband, my two boys, and myself! I don't know quite what the future holds for me, but I'm all about making my life easier, not harder....I'm done with doing things the hard way!

I wish I was there too!
Can't wait to hear all about it.....
I'm saving my pennies to sign up for the RKC this Sept in Philly. I am LOVING using the kettlebells. My 16k for home is on its way to me now so I can make sure I pass my test! =)
Diana,
I wish I were going to be at your Cert!
I'm going to have to give you a call though, too much to type!
Amber,
Since you already know you want to do the RKC, there's no reason for you to NOT do an HKC as it's basically free since all of the tuition is applicable to your RKC. It'll get you prepared for what's coming!
In the mean time I hope you are training Max w/12kg, cause you're going to need it, lol!
Tracy,
The only HKC near me was sadly this past weekend (and that was 3.5 hours away!), and I had family obligations that kept me from registering. Everything else is FAR away. Otherwise I'd be all over it. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it. Is the 12kg just for practice? I'm never going to be in the lightweight category, so i was planning on training with a 16kg most of the time. You two rock!
Amber,
You don't have to train with the 16kg to test with the 16kg! That's one of the beauties of Max w/12kg.
Trust me, 40 to 80 (yep 8-0) sets of fast snatch sets w/12kg will help build strength and endurance making snatching the 16kg a walk in the park. Training with both weights is important.
Tracy, thanks so much for the advice! I really appreciate it. I started out doing 50 snatches with an 8kg or so (15lb) in far under 5 minutes, I'm working on ramping that up now :)
Amber,
I've done a number of "RKC prep" phone consults for clients, and because I've learned how to train from the Master himself I'm still always surprised at how most people don't know tht difference between "working out" and training for a specific goal.
Besides not knowing how to train, most people either don't train enough, or drive themselves into the ground.
One of the best things I've done in a long time was to re experience the RKC as a student again. I learned so much I told Mark I wanted to write a book called "How to Pass the RKC"!
