subject: 10 Top Reasons Kettlebells Turn Back The Hands Of Time [print this page] Let me cut to the chase: You were not meant to sit on your rear end all day long. That is why it's saggy. And possibly even saggy. And yes, that's also the reason you have a belly or a pooch or lovehandles or whatever.
Sorry to be so negative right from the start, but your time is precious and I value it - that's why I want to notify you to the problem right away.
So what were you meant to do?
Move!
One of the best forms of movement to combat sitting is kettlebell training. You may have heard of kettlebells, they seem to be all the rage right now, but they have actually been around over 300 years and have been used by most everyone from circus strongmen to athletic competitors to moms.
You should use them too.
Here are 10 reasons why:
1. Kettlebells stretch out and open your hips which get locked down from sitting all day.
2. Kettlebells strengthen your lower back which gets aggravated from sitting all day and helps prevent lower back injuries.
3. Kettlebells reinforce your abs helping you get rid of that gut, that tummy, and those lovehandles.
4. Kettlebells strengthen your legs, enabling walking, standing, squatting, lunging, running, and climbing stairs so much easier.
5. Kettlebells strengthen your heart and lungs, helping you protect against heart disease.
6 Kettlebells help you melt away unwanted body fat and flab, helping you once again get rid of that stomach, that pooch, and those lovehandles.
7. Kettlebells help restore your posture by strengthening the muscles that run up and down the spine - your postural muscles.
8. Kettlebells supply you energy by helping you get rid of unwanted body fat, reducing the amount of "extra baggage" you have to drag around.
9. Kettlebells strengthen your shoulders, which aid in improving your posture and other pursuits such as running, walking, etc.
10. Kettlebells are just plain FUN! The basic exercise - the Swing - is just fun to do! It makes you feel good and makes working out not so tedious and mundane.
Now, go pick up a kettlebell and start turning back the hands of time. You'll feel young and suppler and move much better in 30 days or less.
