Why use Kettlebells over conventional equipment?

There are plenty of reasons to choose KB's over the main stream equipment and methods or at least to add them to your regimen;

  1. KB's are a great challenge than dumbbells and barbells, not even mention the wussy machines.
  2. KB's are suitable for men and women, young and old as long as they are tough and have no health restrictions.
  3. KB's are the working class alternative to plyometrics, great tool for improving an athlete's ability to expertly absorb shocks; outstanding grip developers.
  4. KB's are a highly effective tool for strengthening the connective tissues, especially in the back. Many bad backs have been fixed wit this deceptively crude looking tool
  5. KB's melt fat and build a powerful heart – without the dishonour of dieting and aerobics.
  6. Variety - the number of KB's drills is only limited by your imagination and safety.
  7. Balance of Tension and Relaxation – Tension is strength; Relaxation is speed. An athlete must balance both to maximise skill. KB training utilises a balance of tension and relaxation.
  8. Fun – You can "juggle", spin, pass hand to hand and throw the KB
  9. KB's are much less expensive than fancy treadmills and the home gyms. They are virtually indestructible and take up very little space.
  10. Many pieces of equipment claim to promote !all around Fitness" only the KB's DELIVER: strength, explosiveness, flexibility, and joints mobility, endurance and fat loss, all in one tight package.
