The amazing benefits of kettlebell workouts

By Chris Rivers


The origination of kettlebell workouts can be traced back to Russia where they were used as a method of strength training for members of military and Olympic athletes. But now these kettlebells are becoming a very popular alternative to dumbbells in workouts. There several benefits of KB exercises which make them highly effective for strength training.

Activation of your core musculature is achieved by kettlebell exercises. This includes your back, abdominal, glutes and hips. Due to this developed strong and active core several injuries are prevented, which guarantees the good health of your spine in the long run, and makes your body movements more efficient. Exercises such as swings and its variations, are high rep workouts, increasing your heart rate and thus pushing the boundaries of your cardiovascular endurance. Therefore, following a workout which focuses on these exercises can prove to be a great benefit.

If you have been stuck doing the same workout routine for a while now and you aren't getting the buzz and feeling the same effect of the work out then it really might be time for change. If you are looking for something that will ask your body some serious questions and improve your fitness then you need to start doing some kettle bells. Kettle bell training can bring back life and a new dimension into your workouts.

Training like this involves you holding the Kettle bell with your hands and doing a full range of exercises most of which are unique to this form of exercise. A combination of different swings, presses, squats, twists and pulling motions are all part of good kettlebell workouts. Many of the individual moves use all the major and minor muscle groups to complete just one single repetition. Some exercises need power from both your hips & legs to lift the weight thus giving your whole body an integrated movement which is unavailable in other forms of exercise, this increases your cardio output and helps shed fat and calories quicker.

Of course if you are using a kettle bell for weight loss you will also need to eat a balanced diet for best results. Diet is a whole different and diverse subject altogether and way to vast to cover in this article but I can highly recommend reading "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle" it is a fantastic guide to diet and way more accurate than others I have come across online. Whats more it comes with a no quibble guarantee unlike most other weight loss systems and it also works perfectly whilst doing regular kettlebell workouts.

The powerful movements of the workouts can help a person reduce pain in their back, neck, and shoulders, and further research such as from the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), US National Library of Medicine, and National Institutes of Health, with the focus into the potential of using kettlebell workouts to help with athletic rehab.
