From: Steve Freides on 2 Jun 2007 11:44 http://www.chekinstitute.com/articles.cfm?select=77 A few highlights: "To begin with, kettlebell training systems in general are highly functional. Functional exercises are one which improve a person's ability to cope with the demands of their work or sports environment. The functionality of any exercise can be rated based on its biomotor richness. "Biomotor" means "life movement" and so biomotor abilities are those abilities that are necessary for functional human movement in any environment where you must maintain your own center of gravity over your own base of support." "Total body exercise is an undeniable fact of kettlebell training. If you do any kettlebell exercise standing on your own two feet, no muscle escapes the training experience!" "Time efficiency is almost guaranteed with kettlebell training. Due to the tremendous demand on your nervous system and the number of muscles used in each exercise, most people are finished with their kettlebell workout in as little as 15-25 minutes." "Kettlebells are excellent training tools for women and children. Kettlebells come in all weights, and the light, rubberized ones are perfect for women and children. The nature of kettlebell training makes it excellent for weight loss and body-shaping - two common goals in females - and also for preventing obesity, which is a growing problem among children today. We've got to get people off all the aerobic machines and fixed axis machines and into some real (kettlebell) exercise." Paul Check is a well known author and, although occasionally controversial, generally speaking he is highly respected.

Looks like if you use bad form, you can get injured easily.

That's true for just about any form of exercise. That's why it's important to look for instructors/trainers who can guide you into correct form from the beginning. All too often we as humans think we're doing something correctly when we're not, either because we can't see our own body alignment or because we learned by watching someone else do it wrong. Doing something with bad form leads to poor results at best, and injury at worst. -- Denise denise dot howard at comcast dot net ACE and AFAA certified fitness instructor AFAA step and kickboxing certified |
