Kettlebell Exercise Workouts For The Busy Woman

Kettlebell Exercise Workouts For The Busy Woman

Many women are very much mistaken that doing kettlebell exercise workouts is not for them
, that it is an exercise for the old time strongmen . Maybe it's the look of the kettlebell you know the bowling ball with a handle attached to it.

Well ladies I’m here to tell you, that nothing could be further from the truth.
Kettlebells can and do have a significant impact on fat and weight loss, gaining lean muscle(you don't have the stuff to get big and bulky) health, strength, and overall fitness.

Kettlebells can help shape, strengthen, tone and promote fat and weight loss as well as any other type of training. Because kettlebells use not only the largest muscles in ths body (legs, back and core) doing kettlebell exercise workouts use many of the stabilizer muscle groups as well.

First you need to get off the idea of being intimidated by the kettlebell ( I know it doesn't look like something a woman would use to exercise with) but you are missing out on a complete workout with a small compact piece of equipment.

My personall opinion is kettellbell's and weight training are a guy's domain and women are supposed to do yoga, pilates and take aerobics classes. That's fine but if you want shorter more effective and efficient workouts give kettlebells a try.

The key is to get started, and for that we need a little knowledge.

While the traditional method of fitness for women includes endless aerobic classes and weight sessions consisting of many reps with light weight, these are precisely the opposite of what you want to do if you are interested in fat and weight loss, getting stronger, having more energy and flexibility and upping your fitness levels.

You need heavyweight's, low reps, and in the case of kettlebell training, the cardio benefits of kettlebell exercise workouts is built in. This type of training lends itself to a more functional kind of strength.

Instead of having the ability to lift light weight's for endless amount's of reps.you’ll find that the core strengthening, cardio benefits and overall energy level increase provided by kettlebell
training will be a heck of alot more useful in day to day life, and get it done in much less time.

Many women are still under the misconception that by training with heavy weights they will gain too much muscle mass and start to look masculine.

Not true.

I already told you you don't have the stuff for that. What stuff? Women don’t naturally possess the testosterone to build that kind of mass.

Men have ten to fifteen times the testosterone levels that women do, and that coupled with a massive calorie intake and incredibly hard work( and steroids) will build that kind of body for some men.

For women, you’ll simply gain much more strength, and a lean, sexy physique.

Some of the more basic exercise for women( or guy's) to start with would include the swing,
dead lifts, squats, a basic clean, and the Turkish Get-Up.

There are many types of swings and squats to do, both one and two
handed. It’s best to start with one kettlebell, at least until you get the hang of handling them.
There is a learning curve with kettlebells so as with any exercise program take it slow to start with and get proper instruction.

Try to work out with kettlebells three days a week. You only need 15-20 minutes for kettlebell workouts.

Make sure you emphasize safety, and take care not to go too fast
too soon. Most women start out with a 18 pound kettlebell, though some
who are stronger can handle the 26 pound version. When you are new to
lifting this kind of exercise, particularly in lifts over your head,
err on the side of lighter kettlebells until you’re sure of yourself
and your grip is strong.

Kettlebell training for women can and does bring a whole new level of cardio fitness, fat and
weight loss, strength and overall physical conditioning but you have to start. There are alot of benefit's to kettlebell exercise workout's. It is not the end all to weight and fat loss, building lean muscle or developing limitless cardio fitness but it's a great step.

Weight training, Kettlebell exercise workouts and some Interval training gives you a great variety to keep you interested so your workouts don't get stale.

Try 2 days a week of weight training, 2 days of kettlebells and do some interval training.

Even you will be amazed by the results.
