If you’re a body weight training fan and you haven’t discovered kettlebells yet, you’re missing out big time.
Training with kettlebells provides many of the benefits body weight – only training does … but also compliments and adds to where some body weight exercises come up short. For example:
- Using kettlebells, you can get a super efficient, amazingly effective workout in a very short amount of time
- Kettlebell exercises are largely full-body and highly ‘functional’
- The balistic nature of kettlebell training provides benefits that body weight – only workouts – or most any other type of training – cannot
Combining kettlebells with body weight exercises can also make for a killer workout session. As an example, here’s a quick full-body 10 minute kettlebell and body weight workout you can do at home:
The 10×10 Kettlebell Solution 10 Minute At Home Workout
- Start with a quick 2-3 minute joint mobility warm up
- Do 5 burpees
- Immediately follow the burpees with 15 kettlebell swings
- Repeat the sequence 4 times as fast as you can
- Finish with 2-3 minutes of static stretching
In summary, kettlebells are a great addition to body weight – only training. This quick home workout is the perfect example of what you can accomplish with these two great training modalities.
Keep training hard and talk soon -
