Kettlebell Training has been around for hundreds of years.
Some say it stems from Russia where they were first used by
them for athletic prowess and warrior training. But some
say that the Greeks first challenged the Kettlebell
thousands of year ago. But the Chinese may have first
started using kettlebells known as 'Padlocks' which were
rectangular in shape to help compliment their fighting
skills-Kung Fu. But today athletes,The Russain Military and
Hollywood stars are using the F.O.R.C.E. of this excellent
strength and conditioning tool.
Kettlebell Traning has largely become so popular in the UK
due to the ever growing popularity of Kettlebell Coach
Jamie Lloyd and World Champion Vasilijs Ginko.
If you want to get fantastic results then you will feel the
F.O.R.C.E. of this ultimate training tool unlike no other!
F = Fun. You will not get bored with Kettlebell Training.
As the kettlebell comes in various sizes 9-88lbs you will
not get bored! You can workout the whole body in under ten
minutes! You can even juggle, spin, throw the kettlebell
and pass it hand to hand.
O = Offset handle means that you will have to engage your
core to control the force of the kettlebell. The handle
creates a secondary lever arm which forces you to brace
your abdominals throughout every exercsie-this is so that
you have to absorb the impact of the bell when doing 2 arm
swings for example. When you "absorb" the kettlebell when
throwing it behind you the agonists and and antagonists
must work together to reduce the force of the bell and slow
down the weight....known as decelaration. This can be seen
when we change dierction in sport and even in everyday life
walking. Therefore unlike traditional weight training,
kettlebell training helps you train acceleration and
decelaration which will help you move better for everyday
life.
R = Range of movement. Kettlebell Training allows you to
train in full range over a joint from full flexion to full
extentsion or from full adduction to full abduction. As the
kettlebell allows you to perform a movement in full range
of movement in an excercise, this means that the balance
and integrity over the joint is maintained and flexibility
is promoted. Exercises like Windmills are fantastic as they
allow you to stretch out the hamstrings whist helping you
to stabilise the glenohumeral joint and retractthe sacpulae
and even strenghtn the torso at the same time.
C = Core Control. The Kettlebell forces you to maintain the
structure of the spine, pelvis and torso know as the core.
Using abdominal pressure we are able to tighten the belt
around our body (multifidus and transversus abdominus) to
help stabilise our core so that we can lift more weight.
Therefore using abdominal pressure to our kettlebell
training will add strength to your training and give you
rock hard abs.
E = Energy Expenditure. The typical energy expeniture of a
Kettlebell workout will exceed 800 cals which is more than
a Pizza at your restaurant. Or better still it is more
productive than running on a treadmill, doing traditional
weight training at your local gym. Try a set of 10 minute
of snatches for real living proof.
Feel the F.O.R.C.E. today and get Kettlebell Training!
