A weekly Kettlebell workout routine

By Chris Rivers


As you may have heard kettlebells are making a real storm in the fitness world and for good reason because there are hard facts to back up the claims. It's not because major celebrities are swinging their bells that a craze has caught on, in fact it's far from it.

The main reason that the kettle bell has caught on is because it really works and you get the benefits of a cardio workout and a weights workout in one.If you haven't had the pleasure of doing any kettlebells yet you'll soon realise what you've been missing. But there's catch, and it's a major one. Its hard work and I mean hard gut busting, lung burning, and energy sapping training. But there's another catch, it's also really enjoyable and very very moreish making it more doable and easier to keep up.

It's also catching on fast in the professional sports world. Premier league football clubs, pro boxers, UFC fighters to name a few are all turning to kettlebells to gain that extra edge over opponents. A fast workout leaves your lungs burning, muscles pumped and you smashed, and what's more that only takes 20 mins.

But now everyone has the option to have a fat burning super cardio strength workout in their own home, because they take up minimum space and cost far less than conventional pieces of home gym equipment.

One of the main reasons that a kettle bell routine is such a gut busting superior workout to others is that you are continually moving at pace with a heavy weight. Other typical weight training workouts are generally stop start as they have rest periods after every set of exercises. You get no such mercy here. I remember a kettlebell circuit I done in the gym recently, using a 20 kg KB for 40 minutes continuous, other people in the gym doing weights [I had been keeping an eye on] done no more than 6 different exercises with a few sets during those 40 mins I was training. They hardly broke a bead of sweat and they certainly didn't test their cardio at all.

In my humble opinion there is no other exercise workout that offers so many benefits in such minimum time. So if you are serious about getting fit or taking your fitness to the next level and knocking your competition sideways you need to get a kettlebell and start swinging.
