You want it all, and why should your fitness goals be any different? If people want to improve their physical performance, their appearance, and their flexibility all at the same time, and do so while spending a small amount of time working towards it (let's say 20 minutes a day), then why tell them it's impossible? It isn't with the kettlebell.
Working out with kettlebells is a fun and effective way to rapidly increase your overall fitness in minutes a day. Better yet, it's both functional and fun. Ask anyone who has done a kettlebell swing, snatch, clean, or windmill if they think the workout is boring, 9 times out of 10 that person will say no.
Compare the fat burning benefits of a traditional, isolation exercise like bicep curls, to a kettlebell exercise like the swing. The motion of a swing involves entire series of muscles in your back, shoulders, arms, hands, and legs. Guess what you're working with a curl; your biceps. In addition, a swing gets your heart pumping faster, incorporating cardio into the activity and burning more calories.
Do to the off-balancing effect of the exercise motions, you'll also be required to stabilize the weight using more effort. This extra effort will translate into more calories lost and more strength built.
High-intensity kettlebell workouts also elevate your EPOC or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. In order to clear your body of lactic acid and refuel glycogen, it needs to work even harder, burning more calories.
All of these benefits have been about losing weight or gaining strength, but a major benefit is the endurance and conditioning you gain from kettlebells. Kettlebells have an amazing ability to build your stamina and work capacity. While you're body is receiving all the benefits of a strength-building workout, your heart and lungs are also getting a workout. This dual workout provides the body with aerobic and anaerobic training all in the same workout. There's that efficiency again.
How much space would you need at home to get all the equipment necessary for a traditional gym workout? Don't have that kind of space? Kettlebells are small, ranging in diameter from 4 to 10 inches. In addition, the exercises won't take up any more room than a small space around you. Want to workout outside? Great! Take a kettlebell to the yard, a park, or the beach! If you're really tough, try taking one on a hike.
If all you have time for is kettlebell training, you still have the ability to get into great shape. You could also combine it with standard gym routines or other training methods to hit more muscles in less time. Everyone, from the bodybuilder to the fitness newbie can benefit from kettlebell training. - 16083
