Kettlebell training is not new it is not magic, although some may have you believe it. The Russians who are at the front of kettlebell sport have used tried and tested techniques for years.
Since the collapse of the cold war, this amazing little weight has once again exploded onto the fitness scene.
The major benefit that you will experience once you start training with kettlebells is the fact your whole body works in unison.
You will feel the burn in your hamstrings, glutes, quads, back, shoulders and arms and that’s just from the basic techniques such as the KB swing.
Even bodybuilders have come to appreciate and understand the need to train with kettlebells and add them into there training regimes, no longer do they work muscle groups in isolation of each other.
What does this mean for you the individual and what does KB training do for you
· Teaches your body how to work as a single unit (it integrates the whole body together)
· Allows for high repetition work which is phenomenal for fat loss conditioning
· Emphasizes the use of the glutes, hamstrings, spinal muscles and abdominal muscles for maximum power and speed enhancement.
· Simultaneously improves both strength and cardiovascular endurance (known as incidental cardio)
· Improves flexibility (this happens as a by product of training)
· Boosts your metabolism thus burning more fat
· Develops incredible hand, grip and finger strength
· Improves full body stability and balance do the dynamic nature of the exercises
· Burns more energy because of the full body integration
So what are you waiting for, get out there and start swinging, pushing, lifting, racking and throwing.
