Over the past couple of years kettlebell strength training has become very popular in Australia, recently Ive received quite a few questions regarding the use of kettlebells, people want to know what the benefits are.(Note:You can either perform this exercise for time or reps).I have been using kettlebells myself for the past 2 years and training clients with them for the past 1 year and a half.I love them, virtually all my training takes place outdoors and kettlebells are a great way for me to train quickly and conveniently without the hassle of going to the gym or setting dumbells and weight plates – I literally open up the back of my truck and have an instant gym waiting for me.

So what are the benefits?

Well…firstly kettlebell training will certainly give you the biggest bang for your buck, it must be one of the most effective forms of training for achieving the most out of your workout in the shortest amount of time.

You see the great thing about kettlebell training is it works the body as one unit with killer exposive exercises, these workouts are great for fat burning, toning, mental toughness, flexibility, strength and muscle endurance.

On recent trip to Kangaroo Valley I filmed one of my workouts… here is one of of my favourite exercises – the high pull, clean, snatch and press.

It’s a combination lift working many muscles at once – great for a quick workout and makes a good finisher.

Give kettlebell training a try, I doubt you’ll be rushing back to the gym to stand in queue in a hurry!

Train Hard!
