Kettlebell workout routines for amazing core strength

By Chris Rivers


A great way to burn fat, tone the body and get that sleek look you want. When you swing a kettlebell it works the entire body because it utilizes almost all the muscles of the body to complete a single repetition. This is because the weight is actually a few inches below the handle which requires a whole lot more control. Kettlebells are better than doing weights as they make you work harder due to the fact you are using huge amounts of cardio whilst theoretically do a weight training session. They are ideal for overweight people as they are low-impact exercises so are easy on the joints which can be increased to a high intensity routine as your muscles become stronger.

The shape of the KB as well as the placement of the handle create an off centre weight distribution which improves the grip strength and engages the muscles of the torso, back, shoulders and legs to create a balanced workout. This form of training consists of dead lifts, squats, swings, snatches, lunges, presses as well as other exercises that are unique to kettlebell workout routines like the Turkish Get Up. These exercises train the entire body and prove beneficial in sports that require strength, redirection of power and balance. They also prove super beneficial for fat burning, cardiovascular fitness and injury rehabilitation.

Move over to the swing after resting for a few seconds. The swing is again done with a squat holding the kettlebell between your legs. Swing it up to your shoulder level while standing up and bring it down again between your legs with a squat. This works all the above mentioned muscles as well as the inner thighs.

If you do not have much time to spare, you will benefit from these exercises as these exercises consume a fraction of the time of the traditional work outs. You can get a really great work out in around 20 minutes as these exercises target multiple muscles at once. And with kettlebell workout routines you increase stability, flexibility and mobility; KB training enhances mobility by stabilizing your joints and improving movements.

If you find you are constantly struggling to fit training in don't fret. Kettlebell workouts consume a fraction of the time other daily work outs take. You will get a great work out in as little as 20 minutes and these sessions target multiple muscles groups simultaneously. And doing kettle bell workouts increases stability, mobility and joint movement; They also help stretch and tone muscle and increase flexibility with regular use.

Plus keep using them and you'll develop amazing core strength and be able to perform explosive lifts like snatch or jerk giving you incredible power in no time. Also since kettlebells are compact in size you don't have to worry regarding their storage. You can store them in your closet or under your bed.
