Kettle bells!

Kettlebells offer a different kind of training using dynamic moves targeting almost every aspect of fitness – endurance, strength, balance, agility and cardio endurance. People love it because it's challenging, efficient and you only need one piece of equipment

Amanda is training for her kettlebell certification and it is a lot of work! however I am also included in such training! I love the workout, it is hard but you can really feel your body working and it takes less time. She is pushing herself so hard and I am pushing myself so a bit! These little things look simple enough but do not be fooled, they are challenging.

Some of the things we do!

And Amanda does these turkish getups...so so so hard.

But in a few weeks of using kettlebells I can already see so much definition on Amanda. I will let you know the progress and how her certification turns out!

Almost any exerciser can benefit from kettlebell training. Just a few benefits include:

• Improved coordination and agility
• Better posture and alignment – Many exercises work the postural muscles in a functional way
• It's time efficient – You train multiple fitness components in the same session including cardio, strength, balance, stability, power and endurance
• The exercises are functional and weight bearing which helps increase bone density and keep the body strong for daily tasks
• You become more efficient at other types of exercise
• Increased power development and endurance, which is great for a variety of sports
• It can help protect athletes from injuries – Many injuries happen when you're moving fast and have to come to a stop (a.k.a., eccentric deceleration). Kettlebell exercises actually train the body in eccentric deceleration, which can translate to a healthier, stronger body on the court or field
• Low risk of injury when you use good form and the right weights
• Simplicity – the exercises are simple, the workouts are straightforward and you only need one piece of equipment
