Kettlebells: Uses. Abuses. Myths & Reference Material.

I had to build some functional strength in a reasonably short space of time. I have never been a fan of gym based workouts. Maybe it’s jut me, but I never found a gym routine that built strength I could use in my athletic activities. Maybe its just me (it probably is). If I pumped iron, apart from squats it just didn’t translate into fitness in the surf, hiking, snowboarding or other pursuits.

After 6 weeks of 3-4 kettlebell sessions a week, I was in pretty good shape for what I wanted to do.
Kettlebell training solved a lot of this. Being pressed for time (and somewhat by cash), I really didn’t want to shell out for either a hideous direct debit at some nightmare health club/fitness first/body sculpting/designer martial art studio or be at the mercy of casual class costs at any of the above nightmare situations.

For approx $110 bucks, I got a lump of iron I can keep in my room and use in a multitude of ways. God, I can even take it to the park or use it as a doorstop. Anything to keep me out of those horrible semi-solariums watching guys with shaved legs punch out dumbbell curls while talking into their blue-tooth headset.

A kettlebell costs about as much as 7 casual visits to a local gym.

I got far more physical and mental bang for my buck with a kettlebell than 7 or so gym sessions.

Kettlebell lifting can be damn hard. There is a damn lot of technique and a diverse range of applications: Build strength. Develop flexibility. Raise your level of conditioning. Kettlebells for martial arts. The list goes on. In fact, there is quite a diverse range of materials to work with depending on your goals.

Fat loss with kettlebells is no doubt a very welcome side effect of KB training. Kettlebells can be used for:

  • Building Strength
  • Increasing conditioning – muscular & aerobic & anaerobic
  • Developing whole body coordination & explosiveness
  • Balance
