The Advantages Of Training With Kettlebells

Many people ask the question “Where did kettlebells originate?” Well this is still a discussion people will differ about. There are stories that the Scots, the Greeks and the Russians were the founders of this magnificent piece of training equipment. The real answer – nobody can prove any theories – although we might answer does it matter? Aren’t they an excellent piece of gear regardless of who invented the kettlebell?
The Russians have almost certainly, in more recent times been the advocate of the techniques most often used in today’s systems of kettlebell training to good effect.

The kettlebell basics focus around three basic movements - the swing, snatch and clean and jerk. This forces the body to work as an integral unit. Power is generated from the legs, driven through the hips and expressed through the arms (continually working the core stability). Every single muscle is brought into play and every single muscle is worked hard.

Your hips and legs are some of the most powerful and biggest group of muscles in the body. This means working this area creates a great fat burning result as the muscles here will require the greater amount of food to replenish the work. This provides even more fat burn! In almost all sports, powerful hips and legs will always be vital. Kettlebell ballistic drills work the glutes, hip flexors, abdominal hard and will greatly improved athletic performance.

Kettlebell Sport training develops strength, endurance and cardio capacity equally and to extreme levels. Standard gym exercises use a prescribed breakdown in number of sets and repetitions, kettlebell sport uses a fixed training period where the challenge is to push to reach the end of the time set and to improve on your previous session. You are constantly under tension as the kettlebell cannot be put down. Even in the ‘racked’ kettlebell position, it requires exertion and one of the major benefits is training your work capacity in spite of ever increasing fatigue.

Grip strength is increased due to the thick handles on the kettlebell, this works for the forearm and hand / wrist for all aspects of grip. Also unlike standard exercise equipment the kettlebell works the fast twitch muscle groups, not the slow twitch as with standard endurance and weight training. Improving ballistic speed, strength and agility.
