What are the Benefits of Kettlebell Training?

Kettlebell training programs are found to be superior when rated in terms of ‘Biomotor’ richness. Biomotor means “Life movement”, so biomotor abilities are those abilities that are necessary for functional human movement. These can simply be defined as: Strength, Endurance, Speed, Coordination, and Flexibility. Power is the combination of strength and speed. The combination of Flexibility and Coordination produces Agility.

The concept of using kettlebells during workouts is total body integration. Because you do incorporate the lower body and upper body together, kettlebell exercises produce great results in less time than most other forms of exercise. For active sport individuals, kettlebell training can hasten your compound movements, giving power and support to your lower body, core, upper body, cardiovascular, aerobic and an-aerobic, and grip training.

Our bodies are integrated and in real life particularly in any kind of sport, we don’t do isolated body movements. With this that we want to train the body in movement patterns that are natural to the body and to our specific sport. We move in multiple planes with multiple joint actions, thus full body exercises which are referred to also as functional exercises are mechanically sound and they strengthen the “kinetic chain” (integrated movement systems of the body). Also, functional movements have shown to bring forth high endocrine response, a critical component for fitness improvement.


The interesting thing with kettlebells is that there is great carry-over effect into other physical activities. You don’t just train with certain specificity. When you train with kettlebells, you achieve full body exercise. Gains were not only great in the
areas specifically trained for, working out with kettlebell will also give unexpected, residual side-effect strength for everyday life.
