Kettlebell training with the fitPRO

What is a kettlebell? Also known as a girya, a kettlebell is a traditional Russian cast iron weight that looks what can only be described as a cannonball with a handle.

Kettlebells have long been considered the ultimate training tool & is one of the most effective and exciting ways possible to get yourself in shape. Kettlebell training is different from conventional weight training because it focuses on the body's natural movements. These natural movements leave no muscle untouched. So rather than exercising just your arms, legs, or back, kettlebells work the entire body as a complete unit. Men and Women alike will benefit from training with kettlebells.

This type of training is very demanding, imagine how much oxygen and energy is required to fuel 600+ muscles rather than just 1 or 2!! The kettlebells are no doubt the best in functional training and probably the best fat burner there is, burning up to a mind blowing 1500 calories per hour (Yes you read that part correct).

Here are some of the other benefits that the kettlebell can offer you:

*Unparalleled cardiovascular training

*Strips body fat

*Extreme increase in strength and endurance

*Develops an iron like core

*Increased flexibility and agility

*Helps prevent injury

*Improved power and speed

*1-2 kettlebell sessions per week will improve whatever activity you participate in whether its playing with the kids at the park to powerlifting, football and marathon running.

Kettlebells are a fantastic training tool and no matter what your level of fitness is, you will see massive improvements.
