Kettlebell background
They are kettle shaped weights and often comes in sizes of 1,2,3 pood (1 pood = 16.3 Kg). Their origination is from Scotland, not from Russia as most people believe. Because of their awkward shape for lifting, their workouts can be very challenging for your arms joints, tendons and muscles.
Why Do I think they are not just passing fad?
The reason is very simple, you see with their exercise routines, you are working your complete body. For example a simple one handed swing is working out your arms, legs, lower back, glutes and cardio. Surprised?
Its all because of their shape. When you are swinging kettlebell you have to put efforts in controlling the kettlebell (thus not shooting it like a mad cannon ball). Doing 30 swings with each hand is great cardio.
With every swing, you have to sit back (as the kettle goes down) and stand up (while pulling kettle), you are working your quads, harmstrings and lower back. Oh if you are using heavy weight( 2 pood or 32 kg for men, 24 kg for women), you’ll be exerting lot more pressure on your abdominal region, thus working out your abs too.
Lose weight quickly with Kettlebell workout
Are you ready to lose weight with kettlebell? then here is my favorite workout.
2 handed Kettlebell swings X 30 reps X 2 sets
1 handed kettlebell swings X 20 reps X 2 sets
Turkish get up 5 reps with each arm.
kettlebell Front squat X 10 X 2 reps
If you want to increase intensity, decrease the rest time between circuits or perform more of this circuit. You’ll find yourself wasted soon enough…
