About Kettlebells

The beauty of the kettlebell is that it produces high levels of strength-endurance, which builds long term stamina for when the going gets tough.

Kettlebells also teach the user how to use momentum in ways that mimic real life situations that cannot be duplicated by machines, barbells or dumbbells.

High intensity kettlebell movements such as swings and snatches mimic the movement phases of different sports that require running and jumping like basketball, football, volleyball, and track and field which makes it a great training tool for athletes.

But, even more importantly, a big benefit of the kettlebell is injury prevention.  For example: The Turkish Get up is one of the all around best drills for improving shoulder, hip and spine mobility. It is also a great muscle developer for the legs, hips, arms and abs.

The shape and weight of the kettlebell lends itself to superior forearm development. It is also less awkward to use when compared to dumbells…AND kettlebell lifts are MUCH easier to learn than Olympic barbell movements. Low volume strength movements combined with high intensity ballistic drills with safe yet heavy loads will increase bone density and harder joint cartilage (Siff)- the key to a relatively PAIN FREE life.

What To Expect On Your First Day

The first thing you should do before your initial class is call to schedule time for an assessment. Your assessment is usually done 30 minutes before a scheduled kettlebell class and is the time for us to get to know one another. We’ll be able to talk about:

• Your past history- It is important to know about any previous injuries or other limiting factors to training. This way you will be able to work in the safest possible training environment. I also get some more information on how to put together your “at home training”…Yes you do get homework here.
• Your goals- It is difficult to have a “roadmap” for success” if you don’t know where you want to go. Whether your goals are weight loss, increasing strength, or preparing for a sporting event, you’ll need realistic attainable goals to succeed.
• Expectations-We will talk about your expectations for the class and my expectations for students attending the class. This is important to have clear communication in the beginning of our relationship so that we both can have the most rewarding experience.

Second, you’ll go through a movement screen of approximately 7 exercises. Why? I need information on how YOU move. It would be pretty negligent of me to let perform a lift without knowing your level of:

• Strength: Well…you have to be able to do the work that is asked of you…and I need to know if you can squat; do proper pushups; or even hold a weight over your head. All of those activities take a fair amount of strength in both the prime movers of the lift as well as the stabilizers of the joints that are working.
• Flexibility: Will your muscles actually let you move into the required positions to do some of the exercises? or….Did your nervous system put the “parking brakes” on your muscles?…You could also have too much flexibility in a joint thus creating an instability. Either way, we’ll find out the necessary things to maximize your training experience.
• Body Awareness: To perform movement well you need to know what your body is doing in space. One of the things you will develop is your body’s position sense which is fundamental to performing any movement skill well.

Third, you will learn the 2 fundamental techniques of the kettlebell classes at Rhodes Fusion Fitness; the swing and the Turkish get-up.

The swing is the foundation of the ballistic kettlebell lifts from which you will be able to learn the kettlebell clean, high pull and snatch.

The Turkish get-up is a great tool to develop shoulder, spine, and hip flexibility. If you can’t do a proper get-up chances are that you shouldn’t be doing much overhead work.   Finally, after all of that you are ready to take you first class which will be a fun experience for you.

Two questions to ask yourself!

What would you do if you had more time?

How would your life improve if you reached your physical potential?

Training with kettlebells will drastically decrease your workout time because it’s more efficient and more effective than any method you’ve used before. No more slaving away at the gym for hours or pounding the pavement. Just think how much more time you can spend with your family or do the things you love yet still reach your physical potential. Kettlebells are proven to increase strength, decrease body fat, increase bone density, BMR, flexibility, glucose tolerance and aerobic capacity. A kettllebell routine can also increase human growth hormone (HGH) naturally! HGH, which declines markedly after the age of 50, is responsible for fat burning, muscle building, increasing metabolism, improving the ratio of good to bad cholesterol, better immune system, increased sex drive and reduced risk of heart disease.
