I recently had a little taster of Kettlebells on a boot camp weekend, where using a 6kg Kettlebell for a pitiful number of exercises was a challenge. I’m astounded now after such a short time to be wielding a 10kg Kettlebell. I’m certainly feeling the benefit as each week the techniques become more familiar and I can put more effort into them. I enjoy it so much I’ve bought my own Kettlebell so I can train at home. I never realised I could get such a good workout without actually moving my feet! I’d been losing a bit of motivation with my regular running regime and hoped a new exercise routine would help. It has and more. My stamina is improving and as an added bonus I’m starting to tone up. Not quite a six pack but with a short intake of breath, it’s definitely there!!
