Fullerton, CA, March 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MBody Strength hosted the first-ever Suburban Warrior Challenge kettlebell fitness competition on February 21, 2009 in Fullerton, California. Several people competed in the event, both seasoned kettlebell user and beginners alike.
“We’re very happy with how our first kettlebell competition turned out,” stated Marcus Martinez, MBody Strength’s founder and member. “Everyone had a good time and we had the opportunity to introduce several new people to the benefits of kettlebell training and weighted hiking.”
During the Suburban Warrior Challenge, men had to carry a 60lb pack and an 18lb kettlebell and perform 100 snatches with a 53lb kettlebell. Women had to carry a 20lb pack and a 9lb kettlebell and perform 100 snatches with an 18lb kettlebell.
After everyone was finished competing, the winners were determined and awarded their prizes. Derek Fay won the men’s competition with a time of 41 minutes, 51 seconds. Noel Tolentino won the women’s competition with a time of 37 minutes, 11 seconds.
Men’s competition winner Derek Fay had this to say about the event: “The Suburban Warrior Challenge is functional survival training. It pushes both your body and mind past any limits you thought you had.”
Noel Tolentino, the women’s competition winner, stated, “The first Suburban Warrior Challenge was a fantastic experience that I am looking forward to competing in again. The MBody kettlebell backpack was very comfortable and extremely durable. Since I won the backpack, I plan to compete in the next challenge with much more ease. Hopefully, in the next challenge I will have more women to compete against, but if not, I don’t mind beating the men.”
Each of the kettlebell competition participants used the new MBody KettleBack™ kettlebell backpack to carry their kettlebell to the one mile mark where they performed 100 kettlebell snatches.
Austin Crigger had never used kettlebells prior to competing in the event. Even so, he managed to complete the entire competition. He stated, “Great experience overall. You realize the day after what a total workout the challenge really is. I was a complete kettlebell rookie on Saturday morning, but by the completion of the challenge I definitely felt I had accomplished something.”
MBody Strength offers a variety of methods for helping people prepare for competition, including boot camps, workshops, personal training, and a free workout guide online. The next Suburban Warrior Challenge kettlebell competition will be held on March 28, 2009 in Fullerton, California. It will include a longer hike (around 3 miles) and additional kettlebell exercise challenges.
“We’d like to thank everyone who participated in our kettlebell competition,” said Marcus Martinez. “We’ll be releasing specifics on the next Suburban Warrior Challenge within a few days.”
