Benefits of Training with Kettlebells
Intro | Benefits | Kettlebell Users | Kettlebell Sizes / Weights
Kettlebell's displaced centre of mass uniquely challenges the bodies stabilizer muscles and forces the entire body to participate in the movement, recruiting more muscles and joints, providing a true, functional approach to conditioning. Kettlebell ballistic exercises such as snatches, swings and clean and jerks require high intensity force reduction and redirection. They also train the posterior chain (back, glute's and hamstrings) through a full range of motion as well as gaining unsurpassed strength endurance and a cardio vascular capacity to match.
Kettlebell training builds a perfect blend of strength, mobility and flexibility. Due to the displaced center of mass, muscles are often loaded and stretched through a greater range of motion.
A great fat burner! - Your metabolism is quickly elevated because multiple muscle groups and your entire neuro-muscular system are active when using kettlebells. This makes them excellent for weight loss and body shaping.
Time efficiency - Due to the huge demand on your nervous system and the number of muscles used in each exercise, most people can perform an optimum workout in half an hour.
Convenient - Kettlebells don't take up much space and are easily transported. You can train in your apartment, backyard, garage, or outside in the fresh air.
