Kettlebell Exercises for Beginners - Made Fit TV - Ep. 65

It’s almost like the manual labor of working the fields during the turn of the century. Or similar to helping your friend move from one apartment to the next. Or feels like the non-stop activity of a homemaker. I’m talking about kettlebell training.

The reason I compare this form of exercise to those activities mentioned is that they all involve the function of your entire body – not just one isolated area. Kettlebell training involves the momentum of the weighted kettlebell, mixed with the force and control of your body manipulating its movement.

What makes this type of training unique is that you are not gripping the actual weight itself – you’re holding a handle of the weight. This allows you to be more dynamic in your movements than with just using a dumbbell, therefore creating more of a challenge to control those movements. This is important in conditioning your body for the movements it was made to perform.

See for yourself in this week’s Made Fit TV episode. I show you how to get acquainted with a kettlebell with some simple – but challenging – exercises sure to kick your butt way more than you expected!
