3 Ways to Transform Your Body with Kettlebell Personal Training
Bored with your current workout? Try kettlebell personal training. It provides core strengthening, lean muscle development, cardio conditioning and fat burning all rolled into one. Your kettlebell is your handheld gym!
Lower Back
Think kettlebell training is only for the arms? Think again. The two-handed kettlebell swing works your posterior chain by using an active hip hinging position. This not only helps you build solid forearms and a strong grip but provides an exceptional workout for the hamstrings, buttocks and lower back. This strengthens these areas and prevents injuries while building lean muscle mass.
Core
If you're tired of crunches, look no further than kettlebells. Kettlebell personal training uses core muscles such as your abs, obliques and lower back-all needed for strength and stability. Training with kettlebells engages these core components, that play either primary or secondary role in core endurance. Although you may not feel a direct ab burn, your core is working to maintain body alignment, thus improving posture.
Burn Fat and Calories
No matter the workout method, we all want to burn fat and calories. In a study by America's leading authority on fitness, The American Council on Exercise (ACE), "kettlebells provide a much higher-intensity workout than standard weight-training routines and offer superior results in a short amount of time." This translates to participants burning about 20 calories per minute during a typical kettlebell workout and 400 calories for a 20-minute workout. To put it in perspective, calories burned by only 20 mins of kettlebell training are the equivalent to running a 6-minute mile pace or fast pace cross-country uphill skiing trail. Kettlebell training seems like a better deal than running or uphill skiing. Wouldn't you agree?
Sure, we could keep going on and on about the plethora of kettlebell personal training benefits but the only way to discover kettlebell training is by experiencing it for yourself.
