Make Working Out Fun Again With Kettlebell Exercises

By Greg Diener


A kettlebell is a unique piece of exercise equipment. The kettlebell has been around for centuries and originally had a very different purpose. Kettlebells are a twentieth century phenomena that was not popularized until about 1948. The word kettlebell was first used in Russia in the early eighteenth century. The kettlebell was originally employed as a counterweight to weigh goods in the marketplace. Kettlebells have a convenient handlebar on top that makes it easy to lift and move around. The Russians started to use the kettlebell as a workout tool in the 1900s. In 1948 kettlebell lifting evolved into the Soviet Union's national sport. Today kettlebell exercises are a popular way to stay fit and have fun while doing it.

Kettlebells come in a multiplicity of weights, sizes, and colors. There are specialized classes that target the distinct needs and desires of each exerciser. Kettlebell exercises enhance the cardiovascular system and increase muscle definition. Kettlebell exercises are significantly energetic but they only last for about twenty to thirty minutes. Kettlebell exercises are awesome for someone who wants to get a dedicated workout done but does not have too much time to do it. Many health and fitness professionals believe that kettlebell exercises will be the future of weight loss and athleticism. Kettlebell exercises increase stamina, endurance, and power just like a traditional cardio workout. The difference between traditional cardio exercises and kettlebell exercises is that the kettlebell will also empower your core and workout your entire body.

The movements and lifts that you can do with a kettlebell are boundless as long as you are creative. The ability to perform multiple different types of exercises with one set of kettlebell equipment will give you greater body rhythms, increased grip strength, and tone your core. The gym can be dreary day in and day out. Many people do not exercise because they do not have fun working out. Exercising with a group of friends can be a fun way to spruce up your daily workout routine. The downside to going to the gym with a group of friends is that more conversation than exercise usually occurs.

However you can get your buddies pumped about going to the gym with kettlebell exercises. Form your own kettlebell crew and dominate your gym kettlebell style. You can buy made-to-order kettlebells in crazy colors and designs. Kettlebell exercises have come a long way since the time of the Russian marketplace. Modern kettlebells are usually made from steel versus the traditional cast iron kettlebells that were used as measuring weights. Steel is more durable than cast iron and will last much longer.

If you are beleaguered with your current exercise regime then it is time for you to try kettlebell exercises. Kettlebell lifting has been around for a long time so there is truly something fabulous about them. There are a growing number of kettlebell exercise classes that are offered at most gyms around the country. A lot of these kettlebell courses are free to initiate because trainers know they are catching on and people keep coming back for more kettlebell. Dig your running shoes and basketball shorts out of the cabinet because you are about to love exercise all over again with kettlebell exercises.
