Some of the amazing benefits of including kettlebell in your workout are as follows:

WEIGHT LOSS

 

When you exercise with kettlebells, you burn 20 calories per minute. Research has shown that kettlebell swings are one of the most effective exercises for losing weight because, in one hour, you can burn around 1,200 calories. And here is a fun fact, burning 1,200 calories in an hour is the same as running a distance of 6 miles in an hour! Now isn’t it amazing that with this invention, you can burn just as many calories as you would burn running outside in the heat for an hour?

STRENGTH TRAINING

 

Working out with kettlebells is a lot like lifting weights. Lifting the heavy iron-cast cannonballs needs strength, and exercising while lifting kettlebells can prove to be strenuous. You will feel like every single muscle in your body is being worked to give you the strength you need to lift the kettlebells and exercise with them. But unlike weightlifting exercises, kettlebells make your body flexible. Its smooth grip and small size allow you to flex your body and perform exercises that are not possible while lifting weights.

REDUCES BODY PAIN

Scientific studies have shown that working out with kettlebells helps reduce neck, shoulder, and back pains. Quite often, body pain is a result of tension in our nerves and muscles. But when we exercise with kettlebells, the muscles in our neck, shoulders, and back get worked, and as the muscles become stronger, the tension in our tendons and nerves reduces. And hence we stop feeling constant body aches.

IMPROVES POSTURE

 

When your muscle mass decreases and your muscles become stronger and well-shaped, the posture of your body improves automatically. Quite often, our incorrect body posture is the result of tension in our nerves and muscles. When our muscles become stronger, and the nerve tension reduces, we are able to correct our posture without feeling any pain.

Moreover, including kettlebells in your workout can also give you a better body balance. Once you get the hand of training with weights in your hands, you learn to balance your body well in order to avoid falling over and sustaining an injury.

BUILDS CORE MUSCLES

 

Working out with kettlebells is the same as having a full-body workout. It offers the combined benefits of cardio, weight training, strength training, and resistance training exercises. Including kettlebells in your workout will help you build all your core muscles and give you a ripped body and athletic figure.
