Kettle Bell Benefit #3

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE Kettlebell exercises push your muscles, especially those in your core, to keep working repeatedly for long periods of time. This builds muscular endurance, which helps maintain posture and form in your workouts as well as throughout everyday life. Good posture prevents injuries, unhealthy muscle tension, and other aches and pains.

Happy New Year

I have been bad (not keeping up with my blog but I paid the price with Santa) and it is time to ‘throw away all my excuses” and get back to it. Click to view the rest of the blog!

Kettle Bell Benefit #2

CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE High-repetition kettlebell exercises, such as swings and their variations, really get your heart rate up and push the limits of your cardiovascular endurance. A workout focused on this type of kettlebell exercise is like a very intense cardio interval workout with many additional benefits.

Kettle Bell Benefits #1

CORE STRENGTH Every kettlebell exercise demands activation of your core musculature. This includes your abdominals, hips, gluteals and back. Developing a strong and active core is critical in preventing injuries, ensuring the long-term health of your spine, and teaching your body to move more efficiently.
