Kettlebell Workout Routines For Supreme Fitness And Strength

By Chris Rivers


Although the kettlebell workout routines are by no means a new technology, (It's been in Russia since the late eighteenth century, and in the United States of America since just after the fall of the Soviet Union,) it has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity among fitness fanatics and hobbyists alike. Some of the reasons for this trend are obvious; the kettle bell is a moderately priced, effective option that some argue provides a more thorough workout than similar equipment, such as dumbbells. Commonly described as 'a cannonball with a handle,' it is the handle that sets them apart. Unlike a dumbbell, the bell's center of gravity is offset, and positioned outside of the user's hand. This difference is what helps make the kettlebell so great for weight training, developing and maintaining a desirable physique, and also for cardiovascular improvement.

Kettle bells were so popular in Russia at the time, that there was a standard sport titled Girevoy Sport. In 1948, modern day kettlebell training became a part of the Soviet Union's nation-wide sport. Then, around in the 1970's it gradually grew in part of USSR (All State Sport Association).

Also they were used for counter weight in the shipping yards. These iron balls have been used in Russia for a long time. In the US they are relatively new. Today, the Russian Military requires that their recruits use kettlebells in training. In the U.S the FBI Assault Team requires that their students train in with them as they know of their amazing fitness benefits.

There is hardly a sports machine, with which you can train as extensively as with the kettlebell. Basically, kettlebell workouts can be divided into two areas. Part A involves slow exercises with intense body voltage to force and muscle building. Part B consists of rapid, sweeping-emphasized exercises that improve flexibility, coordination and stamina. In addition, they represent an optimal fat burning program as well. But as with anything that produces results you have to be willing to put the effort in.

So how would you recognize a good kettlebell if you were just starting out? There are three areas to look for:

It is easy to see why they have been a fixture in the physical fitness world for centuries now. This versatile, practical, easy to use equipment provides all the same advantages as dumbbells, and oftentimes more completely fulfills the specific workout needs of the individual, even for an assortment of different fitness goals. Whether a person wants to weight train, gain or maintain a desirable physical physique, or just improve their cardiovascular fitness, a kettlebell workout routine can help accomplish what needs to be done.
