by Anonymous
St. Paul, MN, September 24, 2004 €“ According to an article on pages 140-143 of the October/November 2004 issue of American Health and Fitness for Men magazine the kettlebell, http://www.russiankettlebells.com a once-secret weapon of the Soviet Special Forces and Soviet elite athletes, is now making big fitness inroads in the United States.
The magazine€™s article quotes Dragon Door€™s certified Russian Kettlebell instructor, Frank Pearce, http://www.dragondoor.com/instructors.html
who explains why training with kettlebells is better than working out with regular weights because they make you fit in every aspect: €œKettlebells deliver a stronger, leaner body without extra, useless bulk€kettlebell lifts will strengthen your joints and ligaments and high rep kettlebell swings will burn fat so you don€™t have to spend hours on a treadmill.€
The article discusses the emergence of kettlebell clubs http://www.dragondoor.com/kb_clubs.html
around the country, dedicated to the camaraderie of high-yield, kettlebell fitness workouts. And most recently kettlebell lifting has become competitive, with the advent of national kettlebell lifting competitions.
€œI am not surprised to see how kettlebells have taken off in this country, € comments leading fitness publisher John Du Cane. €œKettlebells are remarkably effective at burning off fat and strengthening the whole body in only a few minutes a day. Plus, you can work out with kettlebells at home or at your office and get a complete cardio-strengthening program without having to waste hours at the gym. Our busy culture loves that.€
