I have posted before on kettle bell training and the importance of metabolic workouts. Today I am thoroughly enjoying the work that we did here at A2O Fitness yesterday. We had our first Kettle bell workshop/workout class with Jim Beaumont of Idaho Kettle Bells. I can barely walk today, and as sick and slightly twisted as it sounds I LOVE it! This muscle soreness has given me a whole new respect for the Killer...er I mean Kettle Bells. My friend Lorie has commonly referred to them as such and until today I don't think I have ever felt quite this much wrath!
Jim taught us tecnique and proper form along with a very quick and effective metabolic workout you can do anywhere in a five foot radius with just one heavy kettle bell. I don't mean to offend anyone out there but if you are using anything less than an 18 pound kettle bell you may be doing yourself a huge injustice. Lifting heavy kettle bells safely and with proper form is truly one of the best ways to increase your cardivascular efficiency, burn fat and build lean muscle mass. The basic good old fashioned Russian Kettle Bell swing was the name of the game yesterday and it's a good thing I was planing a relaxing day today because anything beyond the book I am reading, the couch and my bathtub could be out of the question. Choose a weight that is challenging enough to raise your heart beat within 10 to 12 proper swings and ensure you get instruction from an expert before attempting any kettle bell workout.
