Kettlebell Workouts

Saturday, March 27, 2010 By: fitfax

Kettlebell Workouts offer you a complete cardio and resistance training routine in one session.  You could make your kettelbell workout like an interval workout, by alternating cardio exercises with resistance exercises using kettlebells. 

Sometimes, I like to warm up my clients by doing a few kettlebell exercises first to get the heart pumping and the blood flowing.  I may have mentioned before, when doing cardio exercises with kettlebells, you must engage your core at all times to prevent injury.  That has to be one of the best features of kettlebell workouts, keeping the core locked at all times.    Because you have the swing of the kettlebell, you could be constantly off balance unless you stabilize the abdominal muscles.

Kettlebells come in a variety of  sizes.  Some even have a rubber colorful coating on the rounded part or the plain ‘ol black cast iron.  Kettlebell workouts definitely add a different dimension to a workout and can offer some endurance training!  You can get more bang for your buck with a kettlebell workout!
