Kettlebell Full Body Workout
Hi Free Fitness Gym Members,
Today we have a great Kettlebell workout for you today. We aim to tire your whole body out with some big and functional body movement exercises. Kettlebells are great at promoting functional fitness, which simply means they use multiple muscle groups at the same time per exercise. This is a great way to train as it allows muscle groups to stay nicely balanced with one another.
Too many people train by isolating muscle groups on fixed weight resistance machines in the gym. For example they will do bicep curls on a machine, shoulder press, leg extensions, chest press etc and although these can be good in an approached manner, isolating muscle groups is never a good idea over the long term. If you use a personal trainer who knows what they are talking about, they will never put you on a weight machine, or very rarely. This is because if a personal trainer is doing his or her job properly, then they will get you doing multi functional multiple muscle group exercises that work numerous muscles at the same time. With this approach if you start to strengthen certain muscles, then all the attached and surrounding muscles will also be strengthened creating a nice balance within the muscular chain of the body. An isolation exercise like a bicep curl. or machine shoulder press will only target one muscle. And if this is done too often this particular muscle will strengthen but all the surrounding muscle groups will still be untrained.
Stabalisers are also a very important part of training and fixed weight resistance machine will not allow your stabilisers to work because they isolate a muscle. A stabiliser keeps a joint stable and are very important, so it seems a little silly to neglect these. ........But as a personal trainer is see so many people sitting on these weight machines accomplishing very little. It's such a shame that gym's do not dedicate more time to show people how to train properly.
Ok lets get motivated and ready for today's workout.
Workout Breakdown:
Set interval timers to 50 seconds work, 10 seconds rest
-Sit up Tricep Extension
-Kettlebell Squat
-Kettlebell Swing Alternate Hands
-Figure 8's Kettlebell Squat
Do all 4 exercises 3 times over.
If you feel you have more energy then complete another set of the exercises. Or for a 30 minute workout do one of our other workouts after this one.
We hope you have a great day.
