I Can Transform

Well, I’ve got to admit now that I have never (not yet anyway) actually picked up a kettle bell. I have no experience with them what-so-ever, so any ideas that I put forward in this post are based purely off what I’ve been told. It’s going to be a short post anyway

Kettle Bells always seemed like a tool that I have been really interested in using. As I’m not aiming to become The Hulk chest pressing colossal amounts has never been my main aim. The more training I do the more I realise how vital strength, explosive power, speed and flexibility are all equally important, not just in reflection of the body I am aiming for (which I guess is that perfect balance) but mainly as an athlete and just to be healthy.

All of these things originate from one area. Your core. If your core isn’t strong then your not going to be powerful, or flexible, or fast. I do massive amounts of core excercies at the gym in every session now however my core excercises and my strength building exercises are quite seperate.

I think this is where kettle bells could step in. They bridge that gap between building general strength in your arms, chest, shoulders etc whilst I think being a fantastic core workout. Over the coming weeks this is definitely going to be something that I learn more about. so many athletes (such as boxers) seem to like them they must be doing something good.
