Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/27/2013 -- Walk into a gym or fitness center and somewhere a person will see what appears to be a cannonball with a handle. What is this device doing in a place people go to become healthier? Assisting them with cardio performance, strength, and balance, that’s what. The kettlebell is a powerful piece of fitness equipment, one that can make the body stronger, leaner, and healthier with a few simple swings.
Kettlebells were first used by Russian strongmen as early as the 1700’s, but have recently been adapted by all cultures as a way to increase strength and improve athletic performance. The first kettlebells were filled with sand, water, or steel shot but are now typically made out of cast iron. A kettlebell workout consists of movements that involve swinging, lifting, and heaving the balls to work various groups of muscles all throughout the body.
Results of the workouts have surprised fitness critics and researchers alike. During controlled studies, researchers have noted significant improvements in aerobic capabilities, leg, grip and core strength, and dynamic balance. The highest area of increased strength was centered in the core, but the workout is a total body conditioning program that can benefit every participant in the room.
If looking to try a new fitness program, experts recommend kettlebell for all fitness levels despite concerns that the explosive movements can aggravate weak or injured joints. For this reason, experts recommend taking a class or receiving instruction from a certified kettlebell instructor. Once a person understands how to perform the exercises properly, they can begin a program on their own or keep going with a group class.
Kettlebells increase core control and muscle stamina across the whole body, and if a person is looking to improve both strength and cardiorespiratory health in the New Year this is definitely a program to try.
