Get fit and stay fit doing kettlebell workout routines

By Chris Rivers


Kettlebell workout routines are a great for cardiovascular fitness as well as building strength and giving you a nice toned body that is not too muscular or too flabby. Easy to get started in and also being very cost affective kettle bell training is here to stay and grow in the western world.


The main reason that the kettle bell has caught on is because it really works and you get the benefits of a cardio workout and a weights workout in one.If you haven't had the pleasure of doing any kettlebells yet you'll soon realise what you've been missing. But there's catch, and it's a major one. Its hard work and I mean hard gut busting, lung burning, and energy sapping training. But there's another catch, it's also really enjoyable and very very moreish making it more doable and easier to keep up.

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.

But now everyone has the option to have a fat burning super cardio strength workout in their own home, because they take up minimum space and cost far less than conventional pieces of home gym equipment.

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.

In my humble opinion there is no other exercise workout that offers so many benefits in such minimum time. So if you are serious about getting fit or taking your fitness to the next level and knocking your competition sideways you need to get a kettlebell and start swinging.
