Kettlebells workouts are now being used by a large number of fitness professionals, athletes, weight lifters, and even Olympians. Why? Because this type of workout is not only affordable but also can give you guaranteed quick, consistent weight loss results. The best part also is that a kettlebell workout does not need a gym-size space. You would only need a little space to execute your movements and store your tool afterwards, a kettlebell of course, some basic kettlebell workout routine, and the discipline to continue what you have started.
So why should you use kettlebells when you can just go to the gym and lift a barbell or a dumbbell?
That’s a very good question. Actually there are kettlebell moves that you can also execute with the use of a dumbbell, but in most cases you do not get to see the same results when you use a kettlebell. So how did that happen? Because the weight of a kettlebell is not actually centered, like that of a dumbbell, and knowing that you now force your body to put extra effort to complete your kettlebell moves properly. It turns out that kettlebell workouts are harder to execute than their dumbbell equivalents but do not be discouraged since often this is the most effective workout there is.
Aside from the simplicity of a kettlebell movement, the little space you need, and the guaranteed results after every workout, here are more reasons why not only fitness professionals but also teens, elderly, and even pregnant women use kettlebells.
1. If you are an athlete and you do a lot of sprinting, jumping, and kicking, then a kettlebell routine will help you build up your hip thrust fast which can be very beneficial in any sport you are currently doing.
2. Aside from building your hip thrusts, kettlebell training is also good both for your shoulders and back, keeping them strong and healthy. With kettlebells, you build more strength, improve your endurance, and you lose weight.
