The range of exercises that you can perform using the kettlebell are virtually endless as are the advantages, however if there is one kettlebell exercise in particular to be advised must be the Kettlebell Swing.
The exercise can be performed with any kettlebell, the weight should be selected depending on your ability, strength and if the weight in which your body has become accustom to should also be a consideration.
The kettlebell swing is classed as a relatively simple exercise to perform and the advantages of incorporating this exercise into your workouts include burning fat, building strength and building and sculpting muscle. As well as this the exercise also improves fitness and can be quite as favourable ( if not more constructive ) than the standard cardio workout on gear like the treadmill.
To begin the kettlebell exercise you should commence with the kettlebell inside arm's reach on the floor in front of you. You should then push out your ass and bend your legs whilst ensuring you are looking forward. To maintain the proper position it regularly helps to say you are attempting to sit in a chair, this should make sure that rather than reaching forward for the kettlebell and bending your back, you are moving into position correctly .
Once low enough pick up the kettlebell with both hands. A common misinterpretation for this exercising is that many who attempt the kettlebell swing think the kettlebell should first be driven upwards however this isn't the case. With this exercise, momentum is vital. With that in mind the kettlebell first should be swung between the legs thus allowing the momentum to assist when the kettlebell is next swung upwards till your arms become parallel to the floor and the bottom of the kettlebell is facing away from you.
Next the kettlebell should be driven upwards from the hips. During this bit of the exercise it is really important you are not relying on pulling the kettlebell with your arms to get it into the proper position. In reality the arm and shoulder muscles should barely help in lifting the weight at this stage.
Once your arms are parallel to the floor you will need to return to the start line. You must again allow for momentum to help with this and the kettlebell should nearly fall ( in a precise way ) back to the beginning position.
You should keep going with the above for as long as you are feeling fit, controlling your respiring throughout . It is advisable to inhale during the downward movement and breathe out when your arms are at the point at which they are parallel to the floor.
So as to progress with the exercise and continue to see enhancements it is very important to remember that the body will adjust as a coping mechanism for strain that is being put on it. It is therefore important to evolve the exercise by just adding reps or increasing the weight of your selected kettlebell. Another option is to perform the kettlebell with one hand and then swap and repeat with the other.
