Kettlebell Training, part six – complexes

August 28th, 2010

Deuces WildThe efficient use of time is one of the complex issues in modern society. Time is a valuable commodity and with little to spare, exercise is often one of the first to hit the chopping block.

Yet one of the best training approaches for generalized use is equally time sensitive. Training complexes assist in the development of overall fitness, will help reduce unwanted weight as well as improve power and force production. When designed properly as training complex will enhance all aspect of typical exercise regime but with a time sensitive manner. Within my approach, training complexes serve as a foundation of resistance training to teach leg and hip drive as well as overall “body harmony”.

Kettlebell Training, part five – the front squat

August 28th, 2010

Deuces WildThe renaissance of kettlebells has brought a number of claims to the market, each exalting the mediums use but in the bravado-laced sales pitch tends to filter out the true vale of the vehicle from the storyline. Kettlebell training is a superb tool, that is obviously quite transportable and as a resistance training method, when taught properly, has a steep learning curve. Contrary to any number of ridiculous suggestions, it is not the panacea but instead an important tool in a training professionals arsenal and should clients enjoy the use of them it needs to be taught properly.

Kettlebell Training: part four, the Split Jerk

August 28th, 2010

Dawn Patrol part oneThe renaissance of Kettlebell training in the exercise industry is both a welcome reminder of the “iron game’s” simplistic past and an opportunity for professionals to implement basic, more purposeful training measures within the mainstream. While much of the industry is laden with foolish, if not unsound measures, Kettlebell training intuitively teaches a “total body” notion within resistance work.

Kettlebell Training: part three the Power Clean

August 28th, 2010

Deuces WildThere is no disputing it but Kettlebell training has become a “cause célèbre” of the modern exercise world. While some praise its values to no end, still others recognize its limitations, thus creating the controversy.

Quite truthfully, the modern exercise “game” is both the vindicator of Kettlebell training and its assassin. Many of those who promote the tool in the media make such outlandish claims that the medium is an open target for those who see beyond the marketing efforts and countless “log-rolling” initiatives.

Kettlebell Training: part two – the swing

August 28th, 2010

Dawn Patrol part oneKettlebell training is one of the more popular “new” mediums to the iron game in the last decade. Of-course, the term “new” is not appropriate as kettlebells have a long and storied place in the iron game.

The relatively recent rise in popularity of kettlebells is, without question, due to some of the most brilliant marketing this industry has ever seen and few others would be as successful. Wrapping the kettlebells marketing efforts around it 18th-19th century Russian history, the medium has gained a foothold in the U.S. market and expanding worldwide. Though other older mediums have similar benefits, none has captured the interest the public’s eye and once dark imagery of the kettlebell has made its way into the cozy confines of fat loss classes and available in oh-so divine colours to suit your test.

Kettlebell Training, part one

August 28th, 2010

18eIn the last fifteen years one of the many popular training mediums that worked its way into exercise culture, none has been surrounded with such mystique as Kettlebells. Though they possess a long history in the iron game, their growth in the modern exercise world is a testament to brilliant marketing as well as their relative simplistic training applications. While that does not mean to offend those enamoured with the use of Kettlebells, it is honest fact that as a training medium they were virtually non-existent for nearly thirty years before generating a new cult like status.
