Kettlebells


A kettlebell workout is a really accessible physical activity and it is one that you can do from the comfort of your own home. Kettlebells are ideal for a quick workout when you do not have much spare time. You can also do a workout to music or in front of the TV at home.  

A great positive of kettlebells is that you do not need a big range of them to workout and even just the one is sufficient! There is a huge selection of weight range available online at Newitts.com. You can pick and choose a kettlebell suited to your needs and then decide between high repetition workouts or lower repetition workouts or a combination of both. 

Kettlebell workouts are both cardio and strength workouts. They are great for building up your strength and stamina. Many people would not think of doing kettlebells for weight loss and would think that they need to run or do a gym work out to get the extra weight off. However kettlebells are very effective for weight loss, as long as you put in the effort! 

It is believed that if you did one hour of kettlebells that you could burn up to 600 calories! It is good to have a rest day in-between workouts however, to give your muscles time to recover and be ready for the next workout!
