Kettlebells and the World Masters Highland Games

Inverness 2006

After only five months of coaching from twice World Masters Champion Mark McDonald I proudly received a Silver Medal for Tossing the Caber I can only attribute this success to my all round strength and fitness gained from my many years of Kettlebell training. All the "Heavies" from around the world were helpful and friendly, giving me plenty of advice as a new comer to these events.
