Kettlebells Training and Kettlebell Workouts
What are Kettlebells?
Kettlebells are an old Russian training tool that are still used by the Russian military today. Imagine a cannonball with a handle and you will get the general idea. They are suitable for both men and women and are available in various sizes ranging from 6kg right up to a monsterous 48kg. Most women will start with a 6kg or 8kg and men usually start with a 16kg kettlebell. By swinging, pressing, snatching and pulling the kettlebells you can create a workout that not only burns a tremendous amount of calories but also carves out a physique like no other.
Using Kettlebells
I have been using kettlebells with my clients for some years now and I can honestly say that the results are incredible. Due to the slightly awkward centre of gravity of the kettlebell, they offer a totally new challenge to your joints and cause your body to work extra hard to stabalise. This means that you can rehabilitate and strengthen joints far more quickly and effectively with a kettlebell.
Kettlebells are NOT something that you should attempt using unsupervised and although the rewards are huge it is very easy to make silly mistakes and cause yourself more harm than good. I would recommend booking in for a few sessions to build up a good foundation before going at it alone.
The Kettlebell Workout
Kettlebell training is tough and you really know when you are working out with one, for this reason sessions tend to be only 20-30 minutes. My kettlebell workouts use full body movements utilising hundreds of muscles at a time, this way your body adapts as one complete unit as well as burning maximum calories in minimum time. I always know that once one of my clients is at a position to workout correctly with a kettlebell they will get results rapidly. I have seen this time and time again.

I offer premium quality Kettlebells at very competitive prices. Please don't be fooled by the large department stores that have jumped on the Kettlebell bandwagon, kettlebells are far more complex than a hunk of metal with a handle. Your kettlebell needs to be correctly balanced and have handle distances precisely measured to avoid wrist injuries and incorrect hand positions. I use all these kettlebells with my clients and they have proven to be the best on the market so far.
As a guide most of my average female clients begin with an 8kg Kettlebell and my male clients with a 16kg Kettlebell.
