How Does a Cannon Ball with a Handle Make You Fit?
Working with Russian kettlebells, cannon balls with handles, guarantees you fat loss. Working with them will deliver massive gains in strength, speed, and endurance. My own experience and that of thousands of others persuades me kettlebell exercises will build core functional strength and fitness.
One of my friends heals his knee by using them minimally. By strengthening his body, just enough, his knee works well. Very cool.
I respect the functional strength all of fitness wizard Pavel Tsatsouline's methods generate. But kettlebells exceed every other form.
Don't get dissuaded by the strong hyper-rhetoric aimed at elite athletes on their web site and here on my page. I enjoy a taste of hyper-rhetoric from time to time.
The kettlebell drills works exceptionally well for folks over 50. I just started a 57-year-old woman on a program. She wants to be able to pick up a squirming toddler, schlep grocery bags up two flights of stairs, and go hiking. Functional strength!
Functional strength equals core strength. Core strength replaces body building as the holy grail of strength training. An old idea has come home again.
