Get fit and lose fat doing kettlebell workouts

By Chris Rivers


Kettlebell workouts have been around for a long time, and in many ways they are a lot better than conventional dumbbells. They may not seem all that different from most traditional weights, but they are actually better for certain exercises. This is largely due to the design of the kettlebells themselves, not to mention how they were traditionally used.

The cardiovascular aspect comes from the speed of repetitions that one is able to do and the continuous movements doing kettlebell workouts.

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.

Superior versatility is a major bonus. When you work out the different parts of your body, you certainly need the right equipment to do so. As said earlier kettle bells have the edge of over other gym equipment because of its unique design. Because of that, there is a wide variety of kettlebell workouts that can be done and target virtually all parts of the body. Used correctly the KB provides a total body workout as it can target the lower and upper extremities of the body. You will also be continually developing your core strength and cardio.

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.

Another great thing about kettlebell workouts is that they are very effective in building muscles which are essential to weight loss. The more toned lean muscle you have in your body the faster you can burn fat. It's really is the best of both worlds in regard to fitness as you get a cardio and weights workout all in one.

These are just a few of the reasons that make this type of training so beneficial. Try to use them and integrate the exercise routines in your lifestyle. In no time you'll see the positive results of kettlebell workouts
