Ultra Rapid Pace Kettlebell Combo for Cardio and Flexibility

The great thing about Instagram is that there's always someone new to discover no matter what your interests are. For instance, Coach Sarah is followed by a few of my favorite kettlebell Instagram accounts. However, I just happened to come across one of her latest posts in one of my hashtag feeds. In the video for that post, her combination of speed, agility, and grace is simply amazing. Definitely deserving of a break-down!

What is an Adjustable Weight Kettlebell?

A typical kettlebell will either be made from cast iron or steel. Sure, there are others that have a vinyl covering or even ones that are made completely from rubber. However, they are prone to wear and eventually might break or crack. If you're just starting out with kettlebells, you'll probably want to invest in a light weight or a small set of kettlebells. While I encourage everyone who begins kettlebell training to give it at least a month, inevitably there will be people who will try it once or twice and decide it's not for them.

Which Kettlebell is Right For Me? Regular or Competition Style?

While the information contained in my guide is straightforward, it doesn't mention the different types of kettlebells. Depending on where you do your research, you'll likely come across two main variations - regular style or competition style. I wouldn't go as far as saying that one is superior to the other. Rather it truly depends on what your personal goals are.

Kettlebell Adventures: Hiking Up Mount Major on the Brook Trail Loop

This isn't an idea that I came up with all on my own. Rather, I owe thanks to Taco Fleur who has taken his kettlebells on all sorts of adventures. Seeing photos of him with his kettlebells atop mountains with breathtaking views made me think, "I could give this a shot!". Obviously, I'm not the first person to hike with a kettlebell. However, hiking up Mt. Major with a kettlebell? Maybe. The first documented kettlebell hike up Mt. Major. Most likely yes!

A Brief History of NFL Players Doing Kettlebell Training

Despite the many benefits and muscles worked when exercising with kettlebells, very few NFL athletes are taking advantage of this fitness tool. Of course, the training necessary to compete at such a high level most likely demands a variety of equipment. Still, it is a little surprising that the kettlebell hasn't become more integrated into NFL players' workouts.

Kettlebell Kings Fitness Edition Review

It's been a long time coming but after spending several months with my 35 lb. kettlebell, I was finally ready to progress to the next level. I had already decided that I wanted to go with a competition kettlebell. Partly because that's what all the serious lifters are using. However, it's mostly due to my desire to stick with a kettlebell that is the same size. I'm not referring to weight, but rather the shape and dimensions that competition kettlebells must adhere to.

Kettlebell Mixed Weight Workout for Strength and Flexibility

I see a lot of other kettlebell trainers and enthusiasts on here working out with double bells of the same weight. Honestly, I'm a little envious! However, I don't have the cash to spend on two kettlebells of equal weight. So, I like to get creative and integrate mixed weights into my workouts from time to time.

You Don’t Need to Spend an Arm and a Leg for The Perfect Home Gym

If you're looking to get in shape, lose weight, or build muscle you basically have two options. Become a member of a local gym or invest money in a home gym. The former doesn't generally cost too much money upfront. However, you actually need to make use of the membership and take some time out of your busy schedule to get your money's worth. The latter can not only get expensive quickly but there's also the problem of where to put all of the equipment.
