Get in shape now doing kettlebell workouts at home

By Chris Rivers


Kettlebell workouts have been around for a long time, and in many ways they are a lot better than conventional dumbbells. They may not seem all that different from most traditional weights, but they are actually better for certain exercises. This is largely due to the design of the kettlebells themselves, not to mention how they were traditionally used.

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

Another important feature of kettlebell workouts is that they help your body absorb shock critically. This is one of the reasons why athletes as well as martial artists often include kettlebell exercises in their daily workout.

This is particularly true with regards to wrestling, football, martial arts and most types of contact sports. Because of these benefits, kettlebells are usually used for ballistic exercises. However, these weights can also be used for Bent Presses and Windmills.

Plus you don't have to worry if you only have a few minutes to spend for your exercise. There is actually a five minute exercise program that you can follow if you just can't afford to have more time working out. Going to the gym may not be necessary since you can execute the kettlebell workout routines in the very comfort of your own home.

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.

Consider for a moment your leg's stabilizer muscles. By using kettle bells, they will force you to rely on these muscles to maintain balance. This also results in improving the muscles in your arms, abs and glutes. So if you can add a set of kettlebell ballistics exercises to complement what you're used to doing then you'll have a great body in no time.
