Kettlebells

These days, every gym has kettlebells, that includes big-box, commercial bodybuilding gyms.

It’s clear that kettlebells have become a staple training tool for the entire fitness industry. From CrossFitters to pro athletes to traditional weightlifters, everyone is using them…

benefits :-

1. ALL-IN-ONE TOTAL BODY CONDITIONING TOOL

These can be used for strength, endurance, flexibility and balance training…the four main aspects of fitness.This is definitely one of the biggest benefits.

They are versatile and they simplify things!

In a fast-paced complex world, the ability to do total body conditioning with one tool is a nice change of pace.

2.IMPROVES CORE STRENGTH & STABILITY

There are a few reasons why kettlebells are fantastic for improving core strength and stability.

3. ENHANCES BODY AWARENESS & COORDINATION

These movements are very dynamic. You will be swinging them around – above you, to your side, in between your legs, side to side – and this will necessitate that you are completely aware of your body. This focus and mind to muscle connection will develop, leading you to improved proprioception (coordination; the sense of movement of the body and its parts)

4. IMPROVES BALANCE & STABILIZER MUSCLES

When training with machines, you are producing force and moving in a predetermined path. Conversely, when training with kettlebells, you must control the movement path. This requires you to double down on strengthening the stabilizer muscles for each particular movement.

5. SERIOUS FAT-BURNING WORKOUTS

Kettlebells offer crazy calorie-burning potential, which means FAT LOSS.

ACE did a study that showed swinging a kettlebell burns as many as 20 calories per minute. That’s around 400 calories for a 20-minute workout! To do that running, you’d need to be running at a 6-minute per mile pace.

6. GREAT NON-RUNNING CARDIO ALTERNATIVE

Remember, a kettlebell is a full-body conditioning tool…and that extends to cardio training too.

Thanks to the versatility of kettlebells, you can do a power-packed cardio session with just one kettlebell.

7. DEVELOPS EXPLOSIVE HIP POWER & SPEED

Kettlebells are phenomenal for learning to produce speed and force from your hips.

One of the main and most effective kettlebell exercises is the kettlebell swing. The benefits of kettlebell swings are that they train the hips to produce force in both strength and speed.

8. INCREASES RANGE OF MOTION (MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY)

Kettlebells keep the body loose as the exercises movement patterns rather than isolation exercises. Kettlebell movement patterns require you to move through multiple planes of motion while controlling the force, torque and range of motion. Naturally, you will be improving your mobility by slowly increasing your limits. Over time, you will have much greater flexibility and your joints will become more stable and strong.
