Kettlebell Exercises & the Ways They Can Help Your Form

By Rob Sutter


One of my friends gave me a set of kettlebells for Christmas last year. Kind of a bizarre thing to try and cover but there it is. They also got me a few instructional kettlebell exercises and exercise videos. These things will with any luck get me into the best form that I've ever been in. Who knows, maybe next year I will pay it forward and purchase them for someone else.

Why are kettlebells such a good appliance for exercising? First of all, these weights help you use muscles that you usually wouldn't. The deep muscle work that you can get from using kettlebells cannot be achieved by most other traditional forms of workouts. Yoga, Pilates, and aerobics all fade in relation to these types of exercises and the deep muscle/tendon work.

Kettlebell exercises differ from others in terms of the afterburn effect. For those not in the know, the afterburn effect is what allows the body to continue burning fat and calories a great time after you cease training. This feeling can go on for a maximum of two days even, so it is able to bring a slow metabolism to life. In order to fully maximize your efforts, this form of training can prove to be quite helpful. Fitness authorities along the lines of Lorna bring these methods to light and the benefits are much deeper than physical.

These weights, in addition to their physical benefits, are incredibly convenient to have around. For instance, I have a set at home so that I can easily work out during the weekends or when I come home from work. There's a shorter workout time to be had with these weights, so I suppose it was a great idea to keep yet another set in my office. It's clear that this form of exercise can be done just about anywhere, so having the weights at the ready is not a problem.

My friends, who knew my desire to get fitter but also knowing how busy I am made the best decision in getting me a full kettlebell training package. The videos, coupled with the weights themselves, have aided to start me on my way to the best shape of my life. I even took those before photos to have verification of what I looked like. I can't wait because in two months of diligently working out, I'm hoping the after pictures will be amazing.
