Kettle Bell Training
Unlike traditional dumbbells, the
kettlebell’s center of mass is extended beyond the hand. This allows for
swing movements not possible with traditional dumbbells. Because more
muscle groups are utilized in the swinging and movement of a kettlebell
than during the lifting of dumbbells, a kettlebell workout is said to be
more effective and yields better results in less time.
Because the center of mass on a
kettlebell “swings”, micro-muscles are needed to balance a kettlebell,
more so than a dumbbell. The existence of a handle allows for “release
moves” which are not available to a dumbbell.
1)
Kettlebells can be the solution to trying to squeeze
cardiovascular, resistance, functional AND flexibility training in an
already overbooked schedule. KB movements will develop strength,
endurance and flexibility at the same time. Faster than any other
method.
2)
The solution to thinking of your body as a collection of “muscle
groups” to be “isolated.” KB exercises train your body to work as the
unit it is. Since the brain knows movements and not “muscles” you become
more coordinated with KB use. This is also why athletes look different
than bodybuilders.
3)
The solution to killing your joints trying to get your heart rate
high enough. KB training will make you rethink what your max heart rate
is!
4)
The solution to LIFE SEATED. KB’s have a reputation for
strengthening backs and abs like nothing else before. The ballistic, but
non-impact nature of KB work is the key. You are on your feet the whole
time with KB training. The perfect antidote to modern seated society.
5)
The solution to complicated programs. KB training can be
simplicity defined. The four basic exercises (the swing, clean, press
and snatch and their variations), can be used two or three times per
week to keep you lean, strong and functional for the rest of your life.
Ropes Training
The Battling Ropes produce these
incredible results, because they introduce you to two new elements. The
first element will train your mind and body to maintain power over a
greater period of time. This power is a combination of strength and
explosiveness. This maintaining power will carry into any arena. Whether
you are a swimmer, martial artist, runner or football player, you will
be able to perform at your highest level for a much longer time due to
the Battling Ropes. You will find yourself wanting to push harder and
harder to climb to new levels.
The second element that is new to any
training you have ever done before is the strength aspect of the
Battling Ropes. This aspect will put you into a mechanical disadvantage.
This disadvantage is completely safe. However, it produces maximum
results. You will find yourself actually pushing and pulling at the same
time. You will also find yourself doing an isometric while you are
performing a full range of motion. With this strength system you will
find that you will get the maximum results in the shortest period of
time. You will also find that there is a constant tension throughout the
exercises, unlike other types of strength training.
