Kettlebell Total Body Workout Routine Popular for Fat Loss!
Have any of you "Biggest Loser" TV show enthusiasts noted the incorporation of the kettlebell into this past season's fat-blasting workout routines? When I first saw this funny little piece of workout equipment, I asked myself: "What in the world is that thing? And how can I use it as part of my own workout routines to blast away fat?"
The kettlebell - which is commonly mispronounced as a kettleball - was originally made out of cast iron. Its shape is described as similar to a cannonball (or bowling ball) with a handle! Ranging in weight from 8 to over 80 pounds, you can probably only imagine how toned your body would look after lifting those suckers several times per week!
Rather than pumping iron, kettlebell workouts have been described as "swinging" iron. Exercisers lift and swing the kettlebell around for several repetitions above the head or across the body. Lifting the weight of the kettleball for several repetitions with little rest between sets causes the heart to pump faster as a part of overall aerobic conditioning. Kettlebell workouts are used by trainers to increase strength, agility, endurance, and balance. Among exercise enthusiasts (no doubt, similar to the Bob and Jillian from The Biggest Loser), the kettlebell has earned the reputation of being able to totally transform and shape the entire body by combining cardiovascular and lean muscle building!
Even though kettlebells have been around for years upon years, there has been a recent resurgence in popularity. While this may be part of Biggest Loser Effect, it is also very likely that exercisers have fallen in love with how efficient a kettlebell workout routine can be for overall fat loss. Many people are especially likely to use "not enough time" to make it to the gym, but those excuses are blown out of the water through incorporating kettlebell routines, which are able to get you fit by engaging the entire body with a relatively short amounts of daily time commitment. Not to mention that many exercisers find the use of the kettlebell as a fun alternative to lifting stacks of weights. As they are easily transportable and do not take up much space, kettlebells can be incorporated as part of a larger indoor or outdoor workout routine to get in shape and blast away fat.
