New classes are on the way and one of those is Kettlercise,
kettle bell training has been around for many years, believed to have been
developed in Russia in the
1700s, but they are ever growing in popularity around the world, almost every
new workout involves some element of kettle bells due to the great calorie burn
and work load it puts on not just strength but also cardiovascular fitness.
Kettle bells can be used for total body toning within classes using lighter
bells as well as going heavy and being used to develop fearsome strength and
muscle mass whilst maintaining low levels of body fat percentage. Kettle bells involve
exercises to build strength and endurance, particularly in the lower back,
legs, and shoulders, and increase grip strength. The basic movements, such as
the swing, snatch, and the clean and jerk, engage the entire body at once, and translate
to functional fitness for real world activities. It is also worth noting how
well kettle bell training can be incorporated into circuit training along with
other fundamental movements for a truly challenging gym session and because
kettle bell training relies on continuous movement it makes for a very time
efficient workout, as many trainers say ‘train smarter, not longer’
