Being Fit In A New Year With Kettlebell Exercises

By Greg Diener


Another New Years has passed and chances are that your New Year's Resolution got tossed out with your noisemakers. Lose ten pounds, quit your bad habits, try something new - it's the same every year and the plan is almost always forgotten by February. But, maybe, the problem is that the plan is, in fact, the same every year. If you want to shed those holiday pounds, let go of some bad habits, and jump start a new you the answer could be kettlebell exercises. I know what you're thinking - "what are they? Aren't they just weird weights?"

Unlike more typical weightlifting that uses dumbbells and barbells, kettle bells are rounded with a handle that allow for a more varied center of gravity depending on how it is used. The kettlebell workout is a different way to workout. Let's be truthful, regular weightlifting is dull and weights. The different design allows for not only increased strength and weight loss, but also increasing strength, skill, flexibility and range of motion.

People often underestimate the importance of a good strength training regimen when they want to shed weight, especially women. We've all heard that muscle weighs more than fat and often misconstrue that to the point where only focus on cardio. Strength training can increase your resting metabolism, this means you keep burning calories after your workout. It can also boost your energy levels and protect bone health and muscle mass.

You might be thinking: how could new kettlebell exercises if nothing has before? I've always found that commonly trying new things keeps me inquisitive. Routine breeds familiarity and, as you know, familiarity breeds contempt. After endless hours on the treadmill without the results you want to see - you could easily give up on the idea of a better, healthier you all together. It's easy to lose traction when you're doing the same thing repeatedly with no change to your regimen at all. A innovative and diversified approach could be just what you need.

If you're sick of hitting the treadmill and you're beginning to feel like a hamster on a wheel, try a new concept to working out. If you discover kettlebells aren't for you, sign up for a new dance class, or take a walk instead of driving. Know that just 30 minutes of activity every day is a good start to kicking off your new standard of living for the New Year.
