One of the great things about kettlebells is that with so many exercises it's easy to create your own workouts. Once you've learned the basic and advanced kettlebell moves it's a simple matter of chaining them together. That's exactly what Taylor Hughes shows in her video. She credits a trainer at her gym for this quick and simple kettlebell flow workout.
Instagram fitness enthusiast Mac Bain has created a kettlebell workout that elegantly incorporates lunges and lifts. As you'll see in the video, lunges are performed in all 4 cardinal directions. If you look at each exercise independently you may think, what's the big deal? They seem easy enough. However, when chained together in a kettlebell flow style, each exercise becomes a test in concentration and endurance.
The kettlebell windmill, which generally refers to the high variant, involves raising the kettlebell overhead as high as you can. Keeping your arm extended upward, you then bend at the hips to touch your toes with your free hand. Compare that to the kettlebell low windmill which essentially switches what hand holds the kettlebell. Both are great exercises but the high windmill is obviously more difficult.
While this new smart kettlebell by Jaxjox doesn't have a voice assistant, its bells and whistles sure do impress. A promotional video on the Jaxjox website showcases this kettlebell as if it were a high-end automobile. In fact, one of the taglines in the video, 12-42 pounds in 3 seconds, feels like a bragging statistic from the often used 0-60 in X seconds. I have to give credit where it is due and say that is pretty amazing.
It's the new year and many people have decided to live a healthier lifestyle by following a new year's resolution. Perhaps it's cliché, but with the holiday stress in the rearview mirror, it makes sense to start working towards personal goals. There are no more excuses for finding the time to work on self-improvement. It's the perfect opportunity to start new positive habits for transforming your body.
Below we've listed a few of our own reasons that aren't so apparent. All of these new kettlebell gyms popping up around the country aren't the result of the latest fitness trend. Rather, it's the awareness of kettlebells and the benefits they offer that is finally started to get some recognition.
The last day has finally arrived! The typical schedule was re-arranged. Instead of doing my kettlebell workout in the morning, I decided to do it in the afternoon. This was partly due to maximizing my time working but also to go back to the normal routine that has worked for me since I started losing weight in the early months of 2018.
Only a couple more days left in this challenge. At this point the I've gotten used to exercising. It's the fasting that remains the hardest part. I just hope that the payoff is worth it.
It's the halfway point of the 5-day challenge. The week is flying by! I'm a little bummed and perplexed about the morning weigh-in. I didn't expect another massive drop in weight like the day before, but I was surprised by the results.
Day 2 of this 5-day challenge saw a nice decrease in weight from the previous day. The fasting remains the most difficult part of the challenge. Exercising and maintaining a diet seem easy in comparison. However, I feel myself starting to get hungry in the mornings. Between the hours of 12 pm and 2 pm seem to drag on as my stomach is begging for some food.
