Get Fit And Lose Fat Doing Kettlebell Workout Routines

By Chris Rivers


Although the kettlebell workout routines are by no means a new technology, (It's been in Russia since the late eighteenth century, and in the United States of America since just after the fall of the Soviet Union,) it has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity among fitness fanatics and hobbyists alike. Some of the reasons for this trend are obvious; the kettle bell is a moderately priced, effective option that some argue provides a more thorough workout than similar equipment, such as dumbbells. Commonly described as 'a cannonball with a handle,' it is the handle that sets them apart. Unlike a dumbbell, the bell's center of gravity is offset, and positioned outside of the user's hand. This difference is what helps make the kettlebell so great for weight training, developing and maintaining a desirable physique, and also for cardiovascular improvement.

The KB's versatility is key for any individual who is focused on weight training. Whether they are using it as a stretching aid, for lifting, cleaning, throwing, juggling, or any other form of weight training, this tool offers what is needed to complete a full, effective workout. A quick online search yields numerous lists of all the different, specific ways a kettle's can be used during weight training, for free, and most kettle bell sets that are for sale come with instructions and tips for effective, safe training.

Also they were used for counter weight in the shipping yards. These iron balls have been used in Russia for a long time. In the US they are relatively new. Today, the Russian Military requires that their recruits use kettlebells in training. In the U.S the FBI Assault Team requires that their students train in with them as they know of their amazing fitness benefits.

Cultures all around the world through history have used some form of weight lifting object with an attached handle. Scottish tribes used these weight objects for hurling in Highland Games. Chinese Monks used these objects called stone padlocks in a similar way. This way of training was entitled Shi-SuoGuong, which meant The Art of Stone padlock. These Stone padlocks predates the traditional kettlebells by hundreds, maybe thousands of years. Romans and Greeks were also users of kettle-like weights.

If the goal of a person's workout is centered more on cardiovascular fitness, then they are still the right workout tool. The movements inherent to using kettlebells are, if not easier, than certainly more fun to execute than some other comparable weight systems. The swinging motion often used provides a fluid, even, low-impact workout that aids in getting one's heart into shape. Practicing with a kettle bell set is more akin to dancing than running or jogging, and therefore easier on one's feet, ankles, knees, hips and other joints.

Handle. It should be so wide that you can hold it with two hands; Distance. The ball / handle must be large enough so that the ball rests on the forearm, but not the wrist bone and make sure the handle is relatively smooth (otherwise it will rip the skin) and that the handles circumference is slim enough for you to hold properly and securely.
