Get fit and stay fit doing kettlebell workout routines

By Chris Rivers


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.

Training with these Soviet super weapons also has huge fat burning benefits because you can burn more calories a minute doing a KB session than any other fitness class available today. A mammoth 20 calories per a minute is consumed doing the KB's which is virtually unheard off.

There is a real old world feel to this type of training, raw and tough, almost primitive making it a real fresh approach to the other available routines. Also in the 25 years that I've been into various forms of fitness I've never come across a workout session that feels so complete after only 30 minutes. As I've said its hard work but the benefits are for real; for years the Russians and eastern bloc countries new this and capitalized secretly at the expense of the rest of the western world.

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.
