Kettlebells Transform Meghalaya's Fitness Landscape

Kettlebell training is making waves in Meghalaya as educational institutions, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts adopt this dynamic workout. The state's kettlebell team recently secured nine gold medals at the Online National Kettlebell Sport Championship. This success highlights Meghalaya's growing prominence in the sport and has spurred interest in the fitness regime.

Coach Sandeep Sharma's leadership has been pivotal in this movement. Under his guidance, athletes have experienced significant improvements in strength, stamina, and mental resilience. Schools, including KC Secondary, have integrated kettlebell training into their sports curricula, aiming to instill discipline and encourage lifelong fitness habits among students.

The fitness trend extends beyond schools, as national-level athletes and advocates attest to its benefits. Cricketer Luiza Tamang and cyclist Lankupar Diengdoh report enhanced core strength and endurance, while advocate Sonia Langstieh emphasizes the holistic transformation of her fitness journey, moving away from calorie obsession.
