Are Kettlebells Too Expensive?
When thinking of buying kettlebells, many people balk at the price... but are kettlebells really that expensive when compared to the fitness equipment alternatives that are out there? If you dig a little deeper you might be surprised.
(PRWEB) June 4, 2005 -- It's funny how people react to the price of a
kettlebell. Their eyes usually get wide and their mouth opens a bit, as if to
say "Are you kidding?"
Their reaction is usually due to the fact that
they just don't realize what a simple kettlebell can do for one's physical
fitness, strength building and fat loss. They think "Hey, it's just a simple
little sphere with a handle, right? Where are the gears, the cables, the springs
and pulleys that are a hallmark of a real piece of fitness
equipment?"
Here's a secret: You don't need all that complicated (and
really expensive!) stuff.
The same folks who balk at paying $90 for a
kettlebell probably have no problem whatsoever dropping $300 or more on some
"total gym" that uses rubber bands to give them a "full body workout" and maybe
$100 a month in expensive (and unnecessary) dietary supplements. Don't forget
those exercise machines that are advertised on TV during those two-minute long
commercials... They're so expensive that they don't even mention the price, just
the monthly payment! (BTW, if you research some of those Bowflex and Nordictrack
gadgets you'll find that they cost as much as $1,500 and UP.)
With a
kettlebell you can get both an aerobic and anaerobic (strength building) workout
in just a few minutes a day that (if you're so inclined) can leave you feeling
like you went three rounds with Mike Tyson. You can work your arms, shoulders,
legs, abs, chest and back all with that little iron cannonball. Also, anyone who
knows anything about weight training will tell you that working out with a free
weight is far superior to using a motion that moves along a track.
Using
Pavel Tsatsouline's techniques (Pavel is a former physical training instructor
for the Soviet Special Forces) and a common sense diet you will see your
strength increase rapidly and the fat come off quickly by using
kettlebells.
Another benefit is the small size of kettlebells... no
hunting for a spare room or extra closet space to store them, or having an
eyesore like a treadmill or universal gym (soon to be used as a clothing rack)
in the middle of your bedroom.
So if you think that kettlebells are too
expensive, think again.
