It’s just another way to strength train. I started doing kettlebell training in Jan with a trainer. I only do it one day a week and it is an addition to my workout. You can work alot of muscles as well as getting a good cardio workout from the swinging. I usually am sore in my legs, arms and back. It’s a great workout and I highly recommend it.

Question by ulquiorra_4th_espada: Will kettlebell swings alone help me have a six pack and nice body?
My body is a little bit on the chubby side, but I’m not overweight.

All that is required for a six pack is low body fat and muscles there. Kettlebell swings are great for overall fitness. You do enough, and sure, you will look great. You might get bored with it though…

Kettlebell Swings In Your Workout Schedule

Fitness training continues to change significantly in recent years. Today you are likely to watch individuals training on the most up-to-date fitness equipment in the gym, just as you would find fitness fanatics at the park constantly swinging with an odd looking circular weight with a handle. Well, this would be kettlebell swings which are the basis of kettlebell exercise.

This swing can be carried out using one or two hands and will involve raising the kettlebell in between your legs prior to using your posterior chain and hips to launch it forward and upwards in a circular swinging movement before dropping it back in between your legs.

Here are some of the benefits to be gained if you include kettlebell swings in your training program:

Kettle bells are very effective and will enable you to carry out weight training and fitness in a single workout all at once.

Swings will build up the essential posterior chain muscles in the body which include the hamstrings, back, glutes and core. These muscles are generally ignored with regular weight training, but they will be important for many sports because these muscles are to a great extent involved in tackling, sprinting and jumping movements.

This swing will be the ideal choice of workout for tabata training. It is very quick, but since it is an intense form of training it will be ideal because the swings will hit lots of muscle at the same time and increase the heart rate. Even though Tabata training just calls for work intervals of twenty seconds with a resting time of 10 seconds it’s very intense, but extremely effective.

The swings will work out the abs and enhance the core muscles while they supply a steady platform for additional muscles to draw from. Regular crunches are ineffective and will not do anything for you, if you hit your abdominal muscles with practical abdominal training this will in fact provide more benefits in real life.

An important benefit of these swings is actually that they will train every part of the back from your lower section right to the traps. When all the muscles are trained together this will give you a good efficient workout

Swings tend to be an excellent strengthener and fat burner. Increasingly more research are concluding that increased body fat burning takes place whenever training is carried out at greater intensity levels instead of lengthy slow endurance kind of training.

Keep in mind that these are just some of the ways you can benefit from kettlebell swings. When you build up a program gradually based on these swinging movements you will get an incredible workout that will get you lean, fit and healthy in a short time.
