There is a new craze going on among workout lovers, and I am sad to say I am not on trend yet. Have you been working out with kettleballs? I haven’t and I am apparently missing out! What is a kettleball? It looks like a bowling ball with a handle attached to it, and comes in a variety of different weights. Why are they so effective? High rep ballistic (fast) exercises and circuit training with kettlebells really boost your metabolism, helping women to lose weight, get toned, and feel more energized. Kettleball workouts can be done from your home or in the gym and you can get a great workout in a short amount of time. Even 20 minutes of swings, windmills, and mountain climbers can be a high cardio workout that will burn fat and begin to tone the body quicker than other workout routines. I found a great website, Squidoo.com, that helped me learn about kettleballs and gave some great workout tips for both beginners and the more advanced. I recommend buying your own kettleball and following the suggested workouts. I hope to post my progress with my own kettleball in a few weeks!
