“The reason for the surge in kettlebell training is that it gets back to basic training that requires functional, whole body fitness… a great way to get a whole body workout in arelatively short period of time.” The American Council on Exercise (ACE)
I love it too. Its fun and it works with different movements – a good change from my Les Mills BodyPump class in the gym.
The form is very important, so if you are attempting it for the first time, I suggest you consult with a Kettlebell trainer.
I get lots of workout inspiration from YouTube. Here’s a glimpse of my Beginner Kettlebell 33 mins routine by Fitness Blender and the weights I used. If you are a beginner, I suggest you start with lighter weight, get your form right and progress to heavier weights when you get used to it.
- Around the world (20 each direction) 12kg
- Figure 8 (14 each side) 8kg
- Two Handed Swing (20 reps) 12kg
- Cleans (14 each side) 8kg
- Halos (10 each direction) 8kg
- Dead Lifts (20 reps) 12kg
- Squat Curls (20 reps) 8kg
- Bend over Rows (14 each side) 8kg
That’s 1 round. Repeat 3 rounds with 1 min rest between each set.
The benefits you can derived from Kettlebell training:
- Improved strength & endurance
- Enhanced athleticism (flexibility, co-ordination & balance)
- Promotes weight loss
- Lean and functional muscle mass
- Strengthens the entire posterior chain
- Strengthens the core muscles.
