How To Choose The Best Equipment For Kettlebell Workouts

By Russell Strider


Kettlebell workouts are a great way to get fit. Nevertheless, before you visit the store to purchase equipment, you must know that there are lots of varieties of this equipment determined by design, type, and weight. There are professional grade steel and standard cast iron types. Competition kettlebells use the same size regardless of what the weight is. Keep in mind that the lighter weights are designed to be empty in order to make up the size. Additionally, this kind of kettleball comes with an exposed steel finish that moves a lot better in your hands in the course of the workout. This can be crucial for quite heavy lifts such as the snatch.

Alternatively, standard kettlebells are made out of solid cast iron which makes the weightier bells also bigger than others. This type has a painted finish and the metal is not as even as the other kind. Also, the hand shape, thickness and width may be completely different between sizes and also between manufacturers too.

How can you know what weight of equipment to buy? Ideally, three weights are advised for swing, press and snatch. The most heavy weight is required for the swing, the lightest weight is meant for the press and the medium weight is suggested for the snatch.

Men and women with below average levels of fitness or novices could work with weights of 12 kg to 16 kg and 8 kg to 12 kg, respectively. Those with average fitness levels could work with the weights at 16 kg to 20 kg for males or 12 kg to 16 kg for women. Additionally, for people with great fitness levels, men could get weights of 20 kg to 24 kg and at 16 kg to 20 kg at most for women.

The primary advantages of kettlebell workouts consist of the following:

1. It should only take 20 to 30 minutes of your time to do the workouts.

2. This routine is ideal for fat loss, muscle gain and build up, and to increase strength and athleticism.

3. These kinds of workouts build power, strength, endurance and stamina all at the same time.

4. They offer powerful vigor for a complete and overall body workout.

5. It is a cool thing to do.

6. You can perform them in your own home. There is no need to drop by the gym.

Which are the muscles targeted during kettlebell workouts? All the muscles will be targeted. The Advanced Windmill focuses on the abdominals while alternating floor press and also the extended range one-arm floor press focuses on the chest area. Your shoulders are focused by alternating the hang clean and the double push press and the alternating kettlebell press. For the middle back, do the alternating renegade row. For your abdominals and forearm, carry out the bent press and bottoms-up clean from the hang position, respectively. Quads are focused on with front squats employing two kettlebells.
