What exactly is kettlebell training?

Answer 1

Kettlebell lifting, also know as kettlebell sport or girevoy sport is a technical sport which requires skill, power, stamina and flexibility. The three competition lifts are called the same as in Weightlifting: clean, jerk and snatch, but they lookvery different because there's no bar to restrict the movement and also the weight itself is relatively light.

The techniques are very logical, ergonomic, safe and easy to learn, but to perform a 10 minute set, which is the time in the competition, it takes a lot of practice.

Training however is very rewarding, because it improves the physique from the very first exercise on. You don't need to start learning the technique with a stick, like you must do when lifting a barbell. Also the three basic lifts work every muscle of the body and offer an aerobic exercise at the same time.Your progress is constant: either you lift longer, or faster or heavier, and you can see measurable results every week, even if you only train three times a week, 15 minutes at a time.You can start lifting kettlebells at any age and there are no requirements of fitness level, either.

Answer 2

There are different ways to train with kettlebells. Some people like to call them "hard style"and "soft style", but I personally would say "effective" and "non-effective", based on personal experience.

If you use kettlebell as a replacement to a dumbbell, it works exactly the same, but the real benefits only start to show when you put some time and effort to learning the basic lifting techniques, clean, jerk and snatch. Those are full body movements, that build power andstamina at the same time. They are like a total gym packed in the steel ball (meaning these exercises easily substitute a 45 minute weight training plus 45 minutes on a treadmill to one 30 minute workout and you still get the same benefits).
