About Kettlebells
- A brief history…
-
Originating a few centuries ago in Russia, the Kettlebell was first used as a counterweight for measuring food and goods. After a while a few Russians started thowing them around, and they soon became a very popular training tool. Eventually the sport of Kettlebell Lifting was born.The kettlebell looks like a canon ball with a handle on top. We now use Kettlebells as a handheld weightlifting tool, allowing you to train every muscle group of the body in a fun, exciting, functional, and intense workout routine.

- Why are Kettlebells so good for weightloss?
-
The science:
One of the key factors in any exercise program for weightloss, is intensity! Kettlebell workouts force the body to use much more energy, and keep the heart rate up extremely high. So the more calories you burn during training, the higher your metabolism will be for the rest of the day.
Kettlebells maintain the load on the muscles through both the eccentric and concentric phase of the movement, forcing you to recruit and use more muscle groups during every exercise. Unlike dumbbells and barbells, Kettlebells have an offcentred weight making you use more muscles to keep it balanced, expecially during some of the ballistic movements. So you are building more strength, and burning more fat at the same time.
Kettlebells allow you to unlock the power of resistance training for weightloss, in an exciting, challenging and tough workout. Remember Kettlebells are intense, that is why they work!
