KettleBell

Hellooooo :)

Today I did my first ever Kettlebell class so I thought I'd do a quick review on it.

I took the class in The Raheen Woods hotel in Athenry and it's free for members which is great :)

In the past few years the Kettlebell class has definitely become a fitness fanatic! and a Hollywood secret ;)

The Basics:
What is a Kettlebell??... a Kettlebell is a cast iron or rubber weight with a handle for swinging :)

What do you do in a kettlebell class: 
Basically its a weight training class with a lot of squats and lifting/swinging ;) It combines both Cardio and Strength training. 

Why a Kettlebell class?
  • Kettlebells can be the solution to fitting in cardio, strength and flexibility training into an already busy life and schedule :) 
  • There is an extremely high metabolic cost to throwing the weight around which means it's great for weight loss! While also increasing your resting metabolic rate. 
  • Kettlebell workouts not only burn fat but are also great for toning!
  • A kettlebell workout strengthens every muscle from head to toe!  
  • It helps to strengthen not only muscle but your joints aswell making them less susceptible to injury. 
  • You could always invest in a kettlebell and do the exercises at home! It doesn't take much space and the exercises are easy to remember: Kettlebells are so popular you can follow tutorials on YouTube! 
  • You can do Kettlebell training at any age, size or shape. 

Kettlebell workouts are beneficial and great for both Men and Woman!!

A common misconception of many woman is that any weight training will make us bulky and muscly-This is not the case! instead it helps to enhance the best of the female body :)

It's easy to do and FUN!x

I really enjoyed the class I took today and I will definitely be making kettlebell trainning a regular in my fitness routine :)

Kettlebell classes are available almost everywhere now so Google to find a class near you ;)

Would you try Kettlebell training?

Lots of Love
