Kettlebells in our workouts!

Kettlebells have gained popularity over the past few years although they have been around for decades. They are a traditional Russian cast iron weight, and now a days, you can find modern versions of them in any fitness store that sells exercise equipment. They come in a range of sizes from 8 lbs. up to 100 lbs. or more.

kettlebells add more of a challenge due to their size and shape. The handles on a kettlebell are much thicker than that of a dumbbell which means it is more of a challenge to grip and move around. Therefore if you are looking for a more challenging workout, check them out.

Kettlebell movements cause your body to work as one unit. You utitilize stabilizer muscles on a lot of the moves. Also, the movements are fast and after several reps and sets, you will have done an incredible cardio workout.

While kettlebells are still "weights" they do help to build muscle. If you are looking to build a bodybuilder's physique, stick to what bodybuilders use: dumbbells, barbells, etc. Kettlebell training is known to effectively burn fat, shed the pounds, and develop more muscle definition in general.

I like having variety in my workouts so I have used them and like them very much..I suggest you give them a try!

Here is the MissFit's bootcamp cover story from May 2008 issue of "O". It is so well written by Geraldine Brooks (Pulitzer Prize winning author!) In the article she outlines her quest to find a workout regime that would work for her, and she does with my bootcamp. I feel so grateful to work with such amazing women on a daily basis,there have been so many new friendships and connections that would maybe never have happened if it were not for this amazing hour we spend together laughing telling stories and getting FIT!!
