Kettlebell
Kettlebell is a power-endurance sport that requires athletes to work under a submaximal load, lifting their kettlebells for as many repetitions as possible in a given time frame.
Originating from Russia, the sport has grown throughout the world and has many variations, depending on the organization’s rules and competition formats. Three of the classical lifts are the jerk, snatch, and long cycle.
The event is at Lara Health & Fitness Centre, 1/158 McClelland Avenue, Lara and starts at noon.
Entry is free. More information at facebook.com/geelongkbsport
