Amazing benefits of Kettlebell Workouts

By Chris Rivers


A kettlebell is a certain type of cast-iron weight with a handle. It is essentially an iron ball with an iron handle attached. originally developed in Russia in the 1700s. The point of a kettlebell weight is to facilitate strength training with cardiovascular training. Both are important. Strength training refers to the training that results in muscle building resulting from muscles being used and damaged and then "rebuilt" stronger and bigger. Cardiovascular is exercise that refers to a workout that facilitates good breathing and blood flow, so that the whole body gets a good workout and the cardiovascular system is maintained in working order.

The cardiovascular aspect comes from the speed of repetitions that one is able to do and the continuous movements doing kettlebell workouts.

Kettlebell workouts closely resemble real world workouts, such as shoveling and moving large quantities of heavy objects or boxes which could easily be seen in the workplace.

A popular kettlebell workout is the doing the kettle bell swing. This workout works both strength training and cardiovascular endurance. Swings are a real all round exercise and can burn up to 20 calories a minutes done correctly.

Another exercise you can add to a swing routine is the dead lift. This is similar to a barbell dead lift, but is less dangerous and is just as beneficial if not more beneficial aerobically. Start with your kettlebell between your legs and squat down. Make sure your core and knees are engaged and lift yourself up so you are standing up straight again.

Kettlebells are so versatile and have so many exercises that you can do with them that you can just do a few of them continuously for 20 minutes to get a really good all over body workout.

As you can see, the kettlebell facilitates so many different aspects of human fitness that it's almost foolish not to include it in your fitness routine.
