As you may have heard kettlebells are making a real storm in the fitness world and for good reason because there are hard facts to back up the claims. It's not because major celebrities are swinging their bells that a craze has caught on, in fact it's far from it.
The main reason that the kettle bell has caught on is because it really works and you get the benefits of a cardio workout and a weights workout in one.If you haven't had the pleasure of doing any kettlebells yet you'll soon realise what you've been missing. But there's catch, and it's a major one. Its hard work and I mean hard gut busting, lung burning, and energy sapping training. But there's another catch, it's also really enjoyable and very very moreish making it more doable and easier to keep up.
It's really gathering pace in the keep fit arena. More or less all professional sports teams and athletes are using kettle bells, boxers, UFC fighters, football teams and swimmers to name some are hitting kettlebells hard to gain the edge over the competition. A fast work out simply leaves you gasping, muscles pumped and all in around 20 min.
One massive bonus with this type of training is that it's actually very moreish, probably because of the reduced training time needed to get results. Now I understand the people that are not the fittest amongst us are probably laughing at the prospect of exercise being the least bit moreish but seriously the majority of KB users get a real boost from going to a class and once hooked they rarely pass up the opportunity to do some swinging, if you pardon the pun. And it's good that people do feel that way because kettlebell workout routines are hard work.
One of the main reasons that a kettle bell routine is such a gut busting superior workout to others is that you are continually moving at pace with a heavy weight. Other typical weight training workouts are generally stop start as they have rest periods after every set of exercises. You get no such mercy here. I remember a kettlebell circuit I done in the gym recently, using a 20 kg KB for 40 minutes continuous, other people in the gym doing weights [I had been keeping an eye on] done no more than 6 different exercises with a few sets during those 40 mins I was training. They hardly broke a bead of sweat and they certainly didn't test their cardio at all.
Kettlebell workouts really do offer you an full body unique training session for beginners and advanced alike.
