What is Russian Kettlebell Training?
Kettlebells are cast iron weights, ranging from 5 lbs to over 100 lbs, shaped like a ball with a handle for easy gripping. Kettlebell weights and the training methods associated with them offer a different kind of exercise challenge using dynamic moves that target almost every aspect of fitness – strength, balance, agility and cardio endurance - providing full body integration and core stabilization. People love it because kettlebells provide a much higher-intensity workout than standard weight-training routines and offer superior results in a short amount of time. Kettlebells and yoga are a great compliment to each other!
The Benefits of Kettlebell Training
Almost anyone can benefit from kettlebell training -- men, women, beginners, athletes, seniors...
Benefits include:
- Time efficient: You train multiple fitness components in the same session including cardio, strength, balance, stability, power and endurance.
- Improved coordination, agility and aerobic fitness.
- Better posture and alignment: Many exercises work the postural muscles in a functional way.
- The exercises are functional and weight bearing, which helps increase bone density and keeps the body strong for daily tasks.
- Low risk of injury when you use good form and the correct weights.
- Increased power development and endurance, which is great for a variety of sports such as cycling.
- It can help protect athletes from injuries: Many injuries happen when you're moving fast and have to come to a stop (a.k.a., eccentric deceleration). Kettlebell exercises actually train the body in eccentric deceleration, which can translate to a healthier, stronger body on the court or field.
