What exactly is kettlebell training?

Kettlebell lifting, also know as kettlebell sport or girevoy sport is a technical sport which requires skill, power, stamina and flexibility. The three competition lifts are called the same as in Weightlifting: clean, jerk and snatch, but they lookvery different because there's no bar to restrict the movement and also the weight itself is relatively light.

The techniques are very logical, ergonomic, safe and easy to learn, but to perform a 10 minute set, which is the time in the competition, it takes a lot of practice.

Training however is very rewarding, because it improves the physique from the very first exercise on. You don't need to start learning the technique with a stick, like you must do when lifting a barbell. Also the three basic lifts work every muscle of the body and offer an aerobic exercise at the same time.Your progress is constant: either you lift longer, or faster or heavier, and you can see measurable results every week, even if you only train three times a week, 15 minutes at a time.You can start lifting kettlebells at any age and there are no requirements of fitness level, either.
