Kettlebell

As I move into my 40's I am discovering that I was heading towards my menopause years and I knew nothing about it. I wanted to educate myself and ask such I went on a course to learn more about the menopause. One of things which is so important as you go into this stage of life is strength training, to keep the bones strong. I knew that if I needed this, then my clients needed this, and I wanted a way to bring this to my clients who come to halls, with minimal fuss. Kettlebell was the answer.

Kettlebell classes are brilliant 30 minute express classes. Get in, get it done and get home!

Low-Impact Cardio

Your feet remain grounded during even the most explosive kettlebell moves, however you won’t be placing the same repetitive strain on your joints and connective tissue as running will. Many kettlebell exercises are ballistic in nature, making them ideal for low-impact cardiovascular training. You will leave the class feeling like you went for a run.

Strength Training

Kettlebells are magical because they can help skyrocket your muscular strength, and even build mass throughout your body, with minimal equipment. Kettlebell moves tend to be either slow and deliberate or fast and explosive. Both types activate muscles all over your body, and either way your core is being used to stablilise your body building a stronger core .

Grip Strength

Working with kettlebells, improves your grip strength. As we age if we still want to open those jars we need to keep our grip strength strong. Kettlebell training tends to be done in intervals during which you don’t drop the bell for minutes at a time, and while this is occuring you grip is getting stronger. Kettlebells are also phenomenal for building grip strength because you’re controlling the bell while it’s moving through different planes.

Co-ordination and mobility

The basic exercises in kettlebell need you to be mobile, stable, and co-ordinated. The good thing is that you can build up over time to increase your achievements in all these areas.

What to wear and bring?

A mat, comfy, breathable non-restrictive clothing, remember a bottle of water, and a towel to freshen up your brow.

Do I need to bring a kettlebell or will one be provided?

Kettlebell weight is very individual to the person, as such one should bring their own kettlebell to class. Choosing the right weight depends on the exercise one is doing and on your individual strength, fitness, and technique. Start with smaller weights (4 kg is great for a beginner) and perfect your technique before using heavier weight. If coming for a taster or a Beginners Course, then a kettlebell will be provided if requested if coming to an in person class, if doing a Zoom class then please do provide your own kettlebell.
