Kettlebells
What Are They?
Kettlebells are one of the most dynamic training tools going. Used by the Russian military among others, the kettlebell trains your body by fully loading and unloading your muscles with the use of controlled momentum focusing on your posterior chain and core muscles, as well as your proprioception. In other words they develop explosive power, cardio vascular fitness, balance and muscle tone in all of the right places. A combination of these elements being trained at the same time with each movement makes for a very effective and efficient way to work out.
So if you’re looking to get a ripped, toned, athletic physique then you should be incorporating kettlebells into your training regime!
Strengthening and Toning
Kettlebell exercises such as swings, snatches and dynamic cleans are explosive moves that allow you to recruit more fast twitch muscle fibres. These are the parts of the muscle responsible for strength and tone as well as speed and power.
Kettlebells in Sport
Think of the crossover to almost every sport out there. If you're playing a game which requires sprint speed alongside fast changes in direction (like football or rugby) then kettlebells are fantastic. Kettlebells are also ideal in training for tennis or swimming, which both require power through range and agility.
Just a Fashion Craze?
I'm not saying you should forsake all other training methods and solely train with kettlebells. But kettlebells are an amazing training tool that can be used by anyone to help them achieve almost any fitness goal. Fads come and go but I'm pleased to say that kettlebells have already stood the test of time and are here to stay!
For more information about training with kettlebells or if you want to get started now, speak to me or your trainer.

I didn't know that there is a training like that. I will recommend it for my next training with my team.
