If you could only do one movement
for the rest of your life, do the kettlebell swing."
Body by design: Tracy removed the curves she didn't want and added the curves she did. Notice the kettlebells, which look like cannonballs with handles, lined up

I agree with Tracy 100%, though the path that led me to the swing was quite different.
In 1999, I made thrice-weekly pilgrimages from Princeton to Philadelphia where I trained at
a gym called Maxercise. For the 45-minute workout that justi ed the trip, I was commuting
more than two hours. Steve Maxwell, the owner of Maxercise, was a six-time Pan- American
gold medalist in Brazilian jiu- jitsu (two world championships came later) and held a master's
degree in exercise science. His clients ranged from the FBI and Secret Service to the Phillies and
the Dodgers. His singular focus was on measurable results. If something didn't work, it didn't
last long with Maxwell.
