Not Again!



The Iron Tamer David Whitley, said it best on his blog about the KettleWork program, so go over and take a look.http://irontamerblog.blogspot.com/20...dy-shapes.html

My 2 Cents:

What a joke!

Workouts use 5,10, and 20 pound kettlebells.
I start all my female clients with at least a 17lb or 8 kg kettlebell, and all men will use a 25 or 35 lb kb (12 or 16kg.)

What is this? Another gimmick to sell a new fitness idea and make promises to people that will never come true with these workouts.

These are Aerobic based workouts that use very low weight, because we sure don't want to make women "Bulky"!

Fact: Fat burns in the muscle, so the more muscle the more fat you will burn.

Fact: you will not get bulky (especially women) from lifting heavier weights, your genetics, and body type will determine the bulk.

Fact: Kettlebell training with heavy weight will give you a great strength and cardio workout.

Heres a workout for you that will take about 15-20 minutes and is easy(in fact it is the program minimum) to do but very effective and will strengthen your entire body.

1. Warm-up - jump rope , mobility drills x 5 min

2. TGU x 5 min switch hand on every rep.

3. Swings 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off x 10 min.

Heres another one for you.

1. Warm-up

2. AMAP in 15 minutes. TGU 1/1 and 5 rows r/l.

3. Steve Maxwell Snatch workout 20r/l, 15 r/l, 10 r/l, 5 r/l try to complete in under 5 minutes (good luck!)
