I hate every minute of training. But I said Dont quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.
Muhammad Ali
A very fitting quote by one of the most mentally and physically tough individuals in history. Working out and getting in tremendous shape can be torturous at times, however, the results are often worth it. I will admit though, the above quote is a little misleading, despite how much I may enjoy it, and even lived it. Working out, training, and getting in shape can be difficult, taxing, and a little painful. In fact, it will be all of those things. If it isnt, you are not pushing yourself enough.
Change is never easy and if you are actively trying to grow for the better, it is not always going to be sunshine and rainbows. It is going to take a lot of hard work, but the last time I checked, hard is not a synonym for bad. On the contrary, the harder something is, the more fun it can actually be. That being said, working out hard and getting in shape is not something you have to hate. It can be a lot of fun and I am going to prove it with this book, Kettlebell for Men: The Ultimate Kettlebell Workout to Get Shredded.
Many people attribute the mindset of wanting to look good to women. This includes the self-consciousness that comes with not living up to societys standards when it comes to personal appearance. Many women feel that they dont measure up and never will because they cant see their own beauty due to always comparing themselves to others. However, this way of thinking is not exclusive to women. Many men out there are also very self-conscious about how they look. They care about having that six-pack and also looking good in that new t-shirt, just like women do. Which gender is more concerned about personal appearance is a topic for another day. For now, we want to instill the fact that men care about looking good too. They care about getting in shape and burning ex cess fat.
For many males out there, this can be difficult. They have tried various different workouts, both traditional and nontraditional, and never come close to the results they want to see. This becomes more of an issue as we age. This is quite frustrating indeed. Most men are not looking to become the next Dwayne The Rock Johnson or Mark Wahlberg. They are trying to get in shape, look good, and feel healthy through exercises that are efficient and fun. However, there is so much to choose from and so much exercise equipment available that may or may not work. Well, I have something for you.
There is an old-school, simple to use and understand piece of equipment that allows for a variety of workouts. These exercises are challenging, fun, and can be done almost anywhere. What we are referring to here is the kettlebell. If you hate going to the gym, no problem because the kettlebell will be there for you. Do you love going to the gym? Thats fine too, because they will likely have some kettlebells you can use. This piece of equipment may seem like a glorified dumbbell to some, but as you will all see, it is so much more than that. It is like the Swiss army knife of exercise equipment because of all the functions it serves in the training realm.
By the time you complete this book, you will understand everything you need to know about kettlebells, including numerous exercises that will work out many different areas of the body. After that, it will be all up to you to make things happen. Because after all, knowledge is power, but the action is what creates results. While we will be getting very in-depth through the various chapters of this book, I want to touch on some high points to get all of you excited. Here are some major benefits of the kettlebell to get things started.
Kettlebell workouts are very effective at burning fat. When done properly, these routines can burn up to 400 calories in a single 20-minute session. The combination of intensity and targeting of specific areas on the body makes for impeccable results, even for hard to reach places. This will be a major time saver for all of your busy-bodies out there.
Multiple clinical studies have shown that various workouts with this equipment can and will increase strength and power. You can also improve your conditioning in a major way. One of the best things is, movements using the kettlebell often mimic natural body movements, allowing for ease when transitioning into the workouts.
With many different pieces of equipment out there, you are targeting one muscle or area of the body. With the kettlebell, you are targeting multiple areas while placing different demands simultaneously in these areas. So if two muscles are being activated at the same time, they will feel a different intensity level based on the routine. Dumbbells, for example, can provide great workouts, but the physical nature of them causes many limitations.
Kettlebell exercises can work out almost any area of the body and really targets your core. You will notice major core conditioning as you start the various exercises.
Not only will the kettlebell help you feel and look better, but it will provide immense health benefits. Cardiovascular health is one of the major benefits. The immense calorie burn is equivalent to running a six-minute mile. Furthermore, the kettlebell can provide for great back exercises and improve its health and function, especially when it comes to posture. Finally, this diverse piece of equipment can be used for many rehabilitative purposes. Many rehab specialists, including physical therapists, utilize the kettlebell for their various workouts. This goes along the lines of kettlebell training mimicking natural movements.
All of these benefits are just the tips of the iceberg. As we go through this book, we will detail exactly what the kettlebell is, the different forms it comes in, the history behind it, detailed kettlebell training, different exercises that can be utilized, and many other essentials to make your experience with this tool amazing. We will help you determine what is best for you and figure out a way for you to bring this tool into your life. Just like with any other product, safety concerns will play a role. Throughout this book, keeping ourselves free from injury will be a common theme. The last thing I want is for you to get injured by doing something wrong.
