Double Kettlebell Exercises — A Workout That Makes Your Life Easier
Everywhere you look — TV, magazines, the internet — there are all sorts of fitness routines that promise “6 seconds to a six pack” or “5 moves for a better butt,” but what about a fitness routine or program that makes your life easier. That’s right — how would you like to make your life easier? Imagine having more energy, more stamina, relieving those stubborn aches in your knees and back?
There is a tool that can help you do just that — make your life easier. It’s called a kettlebell. It looks like a cannonball with a handle on it.
The beauty of kettlebells and kettlebell workouts is that you can strengthen your muscles, get rid of the aches and pains in your joints, strengthens your heart and lungs, helps you reduce all those blood profile numbers your doctor has been warning you about, and even strip some fat off that waist or backside.
Yup, sounds like a miracle tool. But it’s not. You still have to show up to use it, and you still have to put the work in. But for the amount of work you do put it, the results are returned fourfold.
So, how exactly do you make your life easier with kettlebells? Well, the buzz in the fitness industry today is “core training” and “functional training.” Core training is exercise that is focused on working your abs, gluts, and the muscles in your trunk, giving you a strong, flat stomach, and a strong, healthy lower back. Kettlebell exercises such as the Swing and the Get Up, when performed correctly, train these muscles all at the same time, saving you time, and giving you energy.
Functional training is any form of training that makes your everyday activities that much easier. Kettlebell training makes everyday activities feel effortless. When performed correctly, kettlebell training (the RKC way), makes tight muscles loose, weak muscles strong, and reduces the stress on your joints by burning off body fat.
And here’s the best way that kettlebell training makes your life easier: It multiplies your time.
Yup, you read that correctly. Most workouts require you to travel to and from your health club (20 to 30 minutes round trip for most people) and then engage in up to an hour of joint pounding, mind-numbing cardio for fat loss. Kettlebells allow you to exercise in the comfort of your own home in very little space and simultaneously get your strength training, your core training, your functional training, and your cardiovascular training all at the same time.
Kettlebells eliminate the need for multiple pieces of equipment and tons of useless, time-wasting exercises. In fact, some kettlebell workouts can be done in only 10 minutes and still give you amazing results! So, imagine getting back the time you used to take to workout in some lame gym with some non-productive workout and putting that to some other use. Kettlebell workouts will let you do just that.
If you want to start making your life easier, you owe it to yourself to start working out with kettlebells. Just be careful, once you start, there may not be any turning back — you may have too much energy!
