Benefits of Using Kettlebells
Fitness training has changed in the last few years. Perhaps you saw a segment on the news talking about this thing called the kettlebell training and aren't really sure what to make of it. Kettlebells seems to be everywhere and is getting more popular each day. So what is a kettlebell? A kettlebell resembles a black steel bowling ball with a handle and come in weights ranging from 8kg to 48 kg.
.Popularized by Russian athletes, the humble kettlebell is now used by top sports teams, martial artists, elite athletes like Lance Armstrong and Hollywood celebrities such as Kim Cattrall, Katherine Heigl due to the outstanding results people are getting.
Highly Efficient
Kettlebells are highly efficient and allows you to combine fitness and weight training in one workout at the same time. You can get a great workout in as little as 15mins. .Burns the most Calories
Swings are a fantastic conditioner and body fat burner. More and more studies are concluding that greater body fat burning occurs when training is performed at higher intensity levels, like kettlebell swings, rather than long slow endurance type training like jogging. .Develop Functional Strength
Swings develop the important posterior chain muscles of the body such as the hamstrings, glutes, core and back. These muscles are often overlooked with traditional weight training but they are crucial for a large number of sports as these muscles are heavily involved in sprinting, jumping and tackling movements. .Develop Insane Core Strength
Swings work the abs and strengthen the core muscles as they provide a stable platform for other muscles to pull from. Traditional crunches are useless and do nothing for you, hit your abs with functional abdominal training that actually has benefit in the real world. .Develop Back Endurance
A key benefit of kettlebell swings is that they train all parts of the back from the lower back all the way to trapezius muscle. They train all the muscles together giving you a great functional workout. High rep swings also develop back endurance which Professor Stuart McGill, a leading spine/back expert, considers has a very positive effect on the reduction of back injuries. .Perfect for Tabata
A kettlebell swing is a perfect choice of exercise for tabata training. This very short but intense style of training is ideal for kettlebell swings as they hit a lot of muscle at one time and get the heart rate soaring. Although Tabata training only involves work periods of 20 seconds with 10seconds of rest, it is very brutal but very effective. .Learn to Absorb Force more Efficiently
This is really important if you are involved in combat sports or contact sports of some kind. It is equally important for anyone that lives on this planet. Impact happens when we least expect it. Be prepared for life's little surprises. .Conclusion
The above are only some of the benefits of a fitness program based on kettlebells swings. Although it sounds too good to be true there is a downside to kettlebell swings... they’re hard work. However, if you progress gradually, it will provide you with fantastic workouts to get you fit, lean and heathy in a surprisingly short amount of time. .Scientific Articles on Kettlebells
