Get Fit And Lose Fat Doing Kettlebell Workout Routines


By Chris Rivers


A kettlebell, also known as a girya, is a spherical iron ball, with an attached handle that used for kettlebell workout routines. Kettle bells originated from Russia in the 1700s. The use of them in sports and competition in Russia was very common in 1940s. At this time, they were measured in poods, and are still measured in poods today.

The KB's versatility is key for any individual who is focused on weight training. Whether they are using it as a stretching aid, for lifting, cleaning, throwing, juggling, or any other form of weight training, this tool offers what is needed to complete a full, effective workout. A quick online search yields numerous lists of all the different, specific ways a kettle's can be used during weight training, for free, and most kettle bell sets that are for sale come with instructions and tips for effective, safe training. For this type of workout, the kettlebell is considered one of the best options.

If an individual's goal is more in line with developing or keeping a desirable physique, then the KB remains a valid equipment option. As a person's workout evolves with their needs, the kettlebell's readily available variations are thought to be quite convenient. This workout tool is generally sold in increasing weights of 2 or 4kg, and start around those weights, and that's good especially for those with low flexibility or just beginning a training regimen.

Cultures all around the world through history have used some form of weight lifting object with an attached handle. Scottish tribes used these weight objects for hurling in Highland Games. Chinese Monks used these objects called stone padlocks in a similar way. This way of training was entitled Shi-SuoGuong, which meant The Art of Stone padlock. These Stone padlocks predates the traditional kettlebells by hundreds, maybe thousands of years. Romans and Greeks were also users of kettle-like weights.

If the goal of a person's workout is centered more on cardiovascular fitness, then they are still the right workout tool. The movements inherent to using kettlebells are, if not easier, than certainly more fun to execute than some other comparable weight systems. The swinging motion often used provides a fluid, even, low-impact workout that aids in getting one's heart into shape. Practicing with a kettle bell set is more akin to dancing than running or jogging, and therefore easier on one's feet, ankles, knees, hips and other joints.

Handle. It should be so wide that you can hold it with two hands; Distance. The ball / handle must be large enough so that the ball rests on the forearm, but not the wrist bone and make sure the handle is relatively smooth (otherwise it will rip the skin) and that the handles circumference is slim enough for you to hold properly and securely.
