Introducing Kettlebell Exercises to your Workout

With so many Kettlebell Exercises available, how do you know which to choose to include within your workout?

There exists a few options when faced with this problem, but the main two which stick out like a sore thumb for me are as follows;

1 - Create a circuit! A great Kettlebell circuit will include some full body movements like the kettlebell swing and the kettlebell clean and include some more concentrated movements such as the figure of 8, the kettlebell windmill or even an adaptation of a regular dumbbell exercise such as the seated shoulder press.

During your circuit aim for reps of ten, never take more than 20 seconds break in between exerises and after you complete one complete circuit, rest for 90 seconds before repeating. A great kettlebell circuit will usually include 8 exercises, each exercise containing 10 reps and the whole circuit repeated 3 times. In total 240 reps will be completed and this should take roughly 20 minutes. A fantastic fat burner and muscle builder if done with a challenging enough weight.

2- Replace some of your regular exercises! During a Bicep workout for instance why not try alternative Kettlebell curls? This adds enormous stress to the muscles in the forearms which would not usually be under this amount of stress and as the forearm muscles suffer fatigue faster the Bicep itself has too work so much harder to lift the weight that the result can only be more muscular growth in the Bicep.

Both of the above are really basic concepts and are both very effective - don't believe me? Try them for yourself!

It is not just the physical gains that should motivate to perform Kettlebell exerciss, or any form of exercise for that matter. What is happening on the inside really matters also, learn about the anti ageing effects and the benefits of exercise.
