Exercise with a kettlebell balloon is ideal for weight loss. But first, let’s take a look at what this instrument is. Picture a cannonball. Now add a handle. That’s a kettlebell! Originally used in 18th century Russia, kettlebells combine a cardiovascular workout with strength training. They also help with flexibility training, especially in the legs, shoulders, and back.
The benefits of working out with kettlebells
Working out with kettlebells has a number of health advantages. Kettlebell exercises use the whole body to build both strength, endurance, and help you lose weight. Typical kettlebell exercises such as the deadlift and swing involve the hips.
Since movements with kettlebells use many muscle groups at once, they burn calories faster than other kinds of exercises with weights that only work one muscle at a time. Additionally, kettlebell moves are typically repeated more often than reps with other weights, adding to the aerobic benefit.
Best kettlebell exercises
Kettlebell exercises are very complete and with them you can exercise your arms, legs and core. We recommend that you start with the following:
Stiff Leg Deadlift:
Let’s start with the kettlebell leg workout. The stiff leg deadlift is a good way to get used to handling kettlebells.
Place a kettlebell on the floor in front of you and then stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Bend at the hip and grab the kettlebell with both hands. Leave your knees slightly bent and use your hips to pull the weight all the way up. Bend again at the hips until the kettle-bell is on the floor and lift it again.
Each time, keep your face forward, not looking down. Keep your back straight and use your hips to complete the entire motion.
Kettlebell Swing:
You can also do a kettlebell arm workout. The kettlebell swing is another good move for beginners.
Place a kettlebell on the floor in front of you and then stand with your feet apart so they are wider than the width of your shoulders. Bend to grab the kettlebell with both hands, keeping your arms loose and your hips back.
Bend your knees a bit and swing the kettlebell forward just a little then back between your legs. At this stage, you’re building momentum. On the second swing forward, try to swing the kettlebell forward until your arms are straight out.
What Kettlebell is Right for You?
Before the kettlebell workout you need to know which kettlebell is right for you. Then, to do the exercises, there are a number of excellent videos that demonstrate the correct form for beginning kettlebell workouts.
Kettlebell Balloons are efficient workout tools that can be used by people of all ages, both genders and all fitness levels. According to the American Council on Exercise, a typical kettlebell workout burns approximately 20 calories a minute.
Kettlebell Weight
If you choose a kettlebell workout for beginners, you should bear in mind that women should consider starting with a 6kg or 8kg (13-17lbs) kettlebell at the very beginning. These weights are ideal for upper body work.
For larger muscles in the lower body, women can quickly adapt to 10kg or 12kg (22-26lbs) kettlebells. When you can easily complete 12 reps of a kettlebell exercise, it’s time to move to the next heaviest weight. With these weights you will achieve a good kettlebell workout and lose weight.
Kettlebell Shape
A standard Russian kettlebell is made of cast iron and increases in size as the weight increases. A more expensive option is the professional-grade kettlebell that is the same size, regardless of weight. Look for smooth, rounded handles that are wide enough so you can grab the kettlebell with both hands.
A flat bottom that ensures that the kettlebell will rest on the floor and paint that won’t chip is also important. Choose one and start your kettlebell workout for weight loss.
Kettlebells and My Spatz3 Gastric Balloon:
Kettlebell balloon workouts are a great example of working together with your Spatz3 weight loss balloon to adapt an overall healthier lifestyle. Creating the changes in your daily routine to make you a healthier and more active person, like dieting and exercise to lose body weight, will help you develop long-term habits to keep you looking great even after the balloon is removed. And a full body kettlebell workout is a great opportunity to do just that.
While the Spatz3 has proven to be one of the most effective weight loss procedures, your balloon can’t do all the work for you. Start with a simple kettlebell workout and watch your life transform before your eyes.
