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.

Kettle bells were so popular in Russia at the time, that there was a standard sport titled Girevoy Sport. In 1948, modern day kettlebell training became a part of the Soviet Union's nation-wide sport. Then, around in the 1970's it gradually grew in part of USSR (All State Sport Association).

Even though the rusty-anarchic charm was big in Eastern Europe, it was the Americans who were so fascinated by the kettlebell workouts along with the versatility and effectiveness of the training sphere.

There is hardly a sports machine, with which you can train as extensively as with the kettlebell. Basically, kettlebell workouts can be divided into two areas. Part A involves slow exercises with intense body voltage to force and muscle building. Part B consists of rapid, sweeping-emphasized exercises that improve flexibility, coordination and stamina. In addition, they represent an optimal fat burning program as well. But as with anything that produces results you have to be willing to put the effort in.

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.

Kettlebell workouts have many benefits, and are very beneficial for anyone. Either if you are trying to loose weight, stay in shape, or upkeep your muscle endurance, kettle bells will do the job.
