Description

I was joined by two guests, Eric Leija and Francheska Martinez. 

Eric is an Annit Academy Senior Kettlebell Coach, coach at the Onnit Gym in Austin, Texas, and specialist in all things related to kettlebell flow. 

On the other hand, Francheska is an animal flow instructor and master, Onnit kettlebell specialist, Onnit Mace specialist, stretch therapist, coach, and bodyweight movement expert. 

I’ve always found the kettlebell to be such a valuable, versatile piece of equipment, and getting to explore the creativity of movement with it is something I’ve enjoyed. 

We discuss movements in a gym beyond barbells, animal and kettlebell flow, the art, style, and grace of movement, what a flow might look like, how to spot a practice, and much more.
