Get 'Kini Ready With Kettlebells
If you are anything like me, then you loathe going to the gym! Because I am not very fond of working out, I tend to like workout plans that are pretty much a one-stop-shop, meaning a total fitness workout. Kettlebells are just that, you get cardio and strength training rolled into one exercise session. This is hands down one of the best exercises to boost your metabolism, promote rapid weight loss, and achieve a lean, toned physique.
I usually do Kettlebell (with a 10lb kettlebell) training two times a week for about an hour with 30 second rest sessions in between each rep. Yes, you feel like death warmed over during, and afterwards [warning you now], but the results are amazing.
Check out this interesting article for more technical info about Kettlebells, and pick some up this weekend!

I just love this post... I love working out... I have 5lb kettlebells, only because its easier to travel with overseas... But i may get heavier set for the states.. I also got the Wii Fit Plus this week for my B-day.. and i must say that it can be great for those who dont like to workout. My mom loves it, and i can never get her to the gym....Great post...This is becoming one of my fav blogs....Great job....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this... off to do my kb research! Loving your blog btw! ;)
ReplyDelete@Nita Thank you for the love chica!!! I want the Wii fit pretty darn bad, I think that might make working out easier for me to commit to.
ReplyDeleteI might also have to check out those 5lb kettlebells....the 10-pounders put a beating on me
@Kadej Thank you for reading! Definitely try implementing kettlebells into your workout!
ReplyDeletesee...another good idea!!! and i can stay my ass at home and do this--i dont even have to go to the gym!!!!!! i love it!! im officially a kettlebell fan.
ReplyDelete@Raven! LOL Thank you! Yes with these puppies, you can stay at home and actually feel like you did something! Don't start with anything more than 10lbs though, or you hate me for it.
ReplyDeleteKettlebells are a huge part of my workout routine. I attend 2 classes a week and my other workouts during the week involve at least 10 minutes of kettlebell exercises...
ReplyDeleteI've been using KBs for over a year now and I use heavier bells than I started out with (with no added bulk that us women can be worried about) and I am in the best shape I've ever been.
Yay for kettlebells :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this info!! You are so informative and I absolutely love your blog!!! Im gonna start my KB workout Asap! Love it!

ReplyDeleteHello Nikole,
ReplyDeleteI am new to the post, but always view your hair tutorials and information for tips to making my hair more healthy. I think healthy hair and body go hand-in-hand, and so I would like for you to visit my dance directors website www.letthebodyspeak.com. I think it will be another resource and a blessing for your followers as your site has been for me and my friends and family. Thank you again for your time and effort in giving us Sistah's some "hair hope".
