How Kettlebell Exercises Can Provide A Good Balance In Your Life

By Greg Diener


Want a great workout that combines endurance training, strength, balance, agility and cardio endurance all in one, without purchasing expensive machines to do it? Then look no further because Kettlebell training is the workout for you. It's an all in one workout and all you have to do is lift weights. Now I know what you're thinking, "wait you said it is also a cardio work out, if I wanted to lift weights I'd buy dumbbells." Well, Kettlebell is different than dumbbells, and you will get a cardio workout. Kettlebell exercises combine all 5 workouts in one. The key is in its design.

Kettlebells are cast iron weights, starting from 5 lbs. to over 100 lbs., sized like a ball with a handle for easy gripping. The idea of kettlebell workouts are that you hold the kettlebell in one or both hands and go through a assortment of swings, presses, or pulling motions. Some of the moves have you transferring the weight from hand to hand as the weight swings up or as you move sideways. That commands you to brace your body and engage the core in a whole new way. Other moves mandate power from the legs and hips to propel the weight, giving you integrated whole body movements that are often absent with other types of training and also giving you cardio.

Working with the rounded handled balls are different than using dumbbells; since they demand the body to go into different places. Let's say that you have been weight lifting for a long time you know that if you give yourself a ton of pressure, you run the possibility of maybe hurting the body. Then you must consider using some other form of exercise equipment.

Kettlebell exercises use momentum for the other training exercises so that you don't have to grab expensive pieces of equipment for cardio; or cut out four hours out of your day to do eighteen different exercise routines to get the same results. It's a low cost, low technology (because there just weights), and you will get a more impressive workout for a portion of the time. In fact if you did wish to buy more than the weights and you didn't mind the bonus product; then you could buy the exercise DVD's. Other than that, there isn't much technology demanded.

So if you want a workout that has limited technology requirements, which mixes endurance training, strength, balance, agility and cardio endurance, that will improve balance and agility, and so many various things; then the Kettlebell workouts are the workouts for you. Get now!
