Kettlebell Training: Is It For You?
The first time I heard about kettlebell training a few months ago, I was skeptical. Swing around a big, heavy weight? Participate in the number one strength training no-no: Using (gasp) momentum? Um, not so sure about that.
Over the past few months, I've done some research and discovered what other people were a bit quicker to pick up on: Kettlebell training is kind of fun. Not fun in the way that, say, going to the beach and sipping cocktails is fun, of course, but fun in the sense that it can breathe new life into your workouts. It's so different from traditional training that it instantly engages your body, and your mind, in a whole different way.
I've taken this newfound enthusiasm and put it to good use in a couple of new articles this week. First, Kettlebell Training offers a few basics for what it is and how it might benefit you. Second, Getting Started With Kettlebell Training offers details about how to choose your weight and a variety of kettlebell exercises to show you what it's all about.
