Aprile Personal Training

In training to become a Hardstyle Kettlebell Challenge Certified Instructor, I have learned that kettlebells may not look like much, but they are simply amazing.

Although the original kettlebellers were “hard core” strong men and soldiers, now everyone from moms to pro athletes are realizing the benefits of kettlebell training. Kettlebells are not for the first-time exerciser or someone with structural limitations (scoliosis, osteoporosis etc). If you are injury-free and already somewhat active, watch-out, the kettlebell will blow you away!

If you think you are already strong and you don’t need a kettlebell because you can bench press and squat a lot – you are so wrong – prepare to be humbled.

Weight Training With An Attitude

It only requires 5 or 6 basic kettlebell exercises to strengthen the entire kinetic chain from head to toe, and the average kettlebell workout is about 30 minutes or less. If you combine kettlebell training with some jump rope and a little work on the heavy-bag, you have a 60 minute workout that will make the toughest man whimper like a scared puppy!
