Workouts

Now that I've lost a considerable amount of weight, my fitness goals have started to shift. I've been focusing on building strength and muscle, however, there are several other areas that need improvement as well. Flexibility, range of motion, and of course stability and balance. I consider these to be finesse attributes that often get overlooked. Although, the two exercises I'll be discussing will also help to build strength. Specifically in the legs.

Anyone who follows Jillian on Instagram probably knows how she loves to use kettlebells as an anchor point. This time she mixes up both competition kettlebells with lighter traditional-styled ones. It's not a strenuous workout by any means, but it will keep you on your toes for sure! That's the beauty of kettlebells, you can target so many areas of fitness. It doesn't have to be just about strength and power.

There are a variety of different exercises that can be done to strengthen your core muscles. Those muscles, the ones that are located around your pelvis, are important for balance and stability. A floor exercise like the bridge is an example of one such core exercise that can be integrated into a workout or used as a warm-up. However, when it comes to working out multiple muscles at the same time, no other piece of gym equipment does more in less time than the kettlebell. Especially when using them in flows.
