What’s so great about Kettlebell training?
There are plenty of reasons to choose kettlebells over the mainstream equipment and methods, or at least add them to your regime:
1. Kettlebells are a greater challenge than dumb-bells and barbells not to mention those ineffective machines.
2. Kettlebells are suitable for men and women, young and old as long as you are tough and have no health restrictions.
3. Kettlebells are the working class alternative to plyometrics, a great tool for improving an athlete’s ability to expertly absorb shocks. Also, outstanding grip developers.
4. Kettlebells are an highly effective tool for strengthening the connective tissues, especially in the back. Many bad backs have been fixed up with this deceptively crude looking tool.
5. Kettlebells melt fat and build a powerful heart without the dishonour of dieting and aerobics.
6. Variety - the number of Kettlebell drills is only limited by the imagination and safety.
7. Balance of tension and relaxation. Tension is strength, relaxation is speed. An athlete must balance both to maximise skill. Kettlebell training utilises a balance of tension and relaxation.
8. Fun - you can juggle, spin, pass hand to hand and throw the kettlebell.
9. Kettlebells are less expensive than fancy treadmills and the home gyms. They are virtually indestructible and take up very little space.
10. Many piece of equipment claim to promote “all-round fitness” only kettlebells deliver strength, explosiveness, flexibility, and joint mobility, endurance and fat loss, all in one tight package.
