Maintaining Proficient Results In Kettlebell Exercises

By Greg Diener


We've seen the fitness center commercial poking fun at the bodybuilders who tend to frequent gyms. The one where the muscular gym rat can only repeat the phrase "I lift things up and put them down." Often, people shy away from weight training because they don't understand its value. If you've ever found yourself wondering "What are kettlebells, barbells, and hand weights going to do for my workout routine?" It's imperative to separate fact from fiction and take the myths and misunderstandings out of the equation in kettlebell exercises.

1. Muscle weighs more than fat: This report has been used to comfort those who manage to put on a pound or two while working out or whose weight stays the same. The honest truth is that a pound of muscle weighs precisely the same as a pound of fat - a pound (just like eight pounds of feathers weighs as much as an eight pound bowling ball). Don't shy away from lifting weights because you're worried about packing on the pounds. If you're not shedding weight but replacing pounds of fat with pounds of muscle, your body is still thinner and healthier. Muscle encourages a faster metabolism - the more muscle you have, the more calories you could be burning.

2. Lifting weights can be torture: People complain that working out can be mundane. They believe that the recurrent act of simply lifting a weight can prevent a hardcore workout hound from getting their workout for the day in. However before you close the door on your hand weight, try to find a new way to weightlift with kettlebells. Now since you have seen this phrase mentioned a lot you might say "what are kettlebells?" Well, quite simply it's a weight that has a handle on it with the workout involving simply swinging and lifting the weight. Kettlebells have many various ways to make your workout awesome. You should know that not every workout is the same.

3. I don't need weight training to be healthy: This goes hand in hand with the "muscle weighs more than fat" lie. Many people, especially women, believe that cardio is the sole important part of any workout. But cardio without strength training is like dieting without working out. Weights can make for a more sensible workout and help you maintain and maintain the results you want to see while you focus on a healthier you.

Don't let the myths and misconceptions scare you away from the weights in your fitness center. A good strength training ritual is important to any person's quest to get and stay physically fit. Though you may worry that weights will make your trip to the gym boring, a vibrant way of working out with weights could be just what you need to keep yourself interested and interested. Stop asking: "What are kettlebells and barbells going to do for my workout routine?" because the answer is simply that they're going to make you a stronger and healthier person. So put your worries about weights down and lift up a new pair of weights!
