subject: Top 10 Reasons Kettlebells Restore Your Youth [print this page] Let me get to the point: You weren't meant to sit on your rear end all day long. That's why it's saggy. And possibly even saggy. And yes, that is also the reason you have a belly or a pooch or lovehandles or whatever.
Sorry to be so off-putting right from the start, but your time is valuable and I respect it - that's why I want to notify you to the situation right away.
So what were you designed to accomplish?
Move!
One of the most effective 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 everyone from circus strongmen to athletic competitors to moms.
You should use kettlebells too.
Here are 10 reasons why:
1.Kettlebells stretch out and open up your hips which get tightened up from sitting for hours.
2.Kettlebells strengthen your lower back which gets aggravated from sitting on a daily basis and helps prevent lumbar spine injuries.
3.Kettlebells reinforce your abs helping you get rid of that stomach, that pooch, and those lovehandles.
4.Kettlebells reinforce your legs, making walking, standing, squatting, lunging, running, and climbing stairs so much easier.
5.Kettlebells strengthen your heart and lungs, helping you prevent heart disease.
6.Kettlebells help you melt away unwanted body fat and flab, helping you once again get rid of that stomach, that tummy, and that back flab.
7.Kettlebells help recover your posture by strengthening the muscles that run all the way along the spine - your postural muscles
8.Kettlebells give you energy by helping you get rid of unwanted body fat, reducing the amount of "extra baggage" you have to drag around.
9.Kettlebells reinforce your shoulders, which aid in improving your posture and other pursuits such as running, walking, etc.
10.Kettlebells are just outright FUN! The basic exercise - the Swing - is just fun to do! It makes you feel great and makes working out not so boring and mundane.
Now, go pick up a kettlebell and start turning back the hands of time. You'll feel young and suppler and move better in 30 days or less.
