Get in shape now doing kettlebell workouts at home

By Chris Rivers


Categorized as resistance exercise routine, doing kettlebell workouts is one of the most ideal methods to develop endurance, flexibility and strength. You must have heard about its advantages and you might even think that they are just too hyped for it to be real? But I can assure you they are for real. The following details below will tell you more about why kettle bell exercises are so beneficial.

Better Motion Dynamics is a key feature. Using kettle bells is actually better than using dumbbells. Because of the unique design of this equipment, the weight is distributed above your writs. When using dumbbells however, the weight is distributed on the central part of your writs. The position of the weight on your hands is very important because it has something to do with motion dynamics of your workout. Many kettle bell exercises involve wide swinging which you can't actually do effectively using dumbbells.

Kettlebell workouts closely resemble real world workouts, such as shoveling and moving large quantities of heavy objects or boxes which could easily be seen in the workplace.

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.

Another exercise you can add to a swing routine is the dead lift. This is similar to a barbell dead lift, but is less dangerous and is just as beneficial if not more beneficial aerobically. Start with your kettlebell between your legs and squat down. Make sure your core and knees are engaged and lift yourself up so you are standing up straight again.

However, the primary reason why kettlebells are such great exercising tools is because they offset the body's center of gravity. What this means is that your body is forced to work harder in order to maintain its balance. This has the positive effect of causing several muscles groups in your body to work together every time you lift the KB.

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.
