Kettlebell training is an alternative
to regular weight training, making use
of the Pilates principles of muscle function and control. Taught in Russia
by strength and fitness expert Pavel Tsatsouline, he uses this method to
train members of the CIA and SWAT and helps Olympic athletes
excel in their training.
Through use of plyometric training, often called stretch shortening drills, which stimulates the proprioceptors, which increases the excitability of the neuromuscular system, this method of training will build speed and strength, while increasing joint mobility.
Kettlebell weight lifting has been internationally recognized and trained throughout the world for decades, and its two most competitive exercises are the 'Two Kettlebell Jerk' and 'One Kettlebell Snatch'; performed in that order for ten minutes each. The competitor with the highest overall score wins. In recent years, kettlebells have become popular amongst athletes, especially mixed martial artists and those in the entertainment community.
It is recommended that your first Kettlebell Training session be a private one, that is, a one-on-one session with an instructor. This class will introduce you to the apparatus, give you an idea of where your body is in terms of strengths and weaknesses and allow you to formulate personal goals. After your first private session it will be up to you and your instructor to decide if you are ready to move into a duet or a semi-private (group) session or need to take a few more private sessions.
Those who have successfully mastered the method can take up the challenge of Power Pilates. The movements of Power Pilates are unlike anything you've ever done before, as the results will prove as well. The instructor will take you through a series of exercises and movements with an emphasis on your core musculature including stomach, back, buttocks, arms and legs. All movements promote strength and stability and increase the range of motion of the joints. What you can expect physically will be a total change in your body -your posture will improve and your stomach and buttocks will become more toned. Legs and arms will be leaner. Your energy level will improve dramatically and people around you will notice this in your appearance.
However, consistency is the key to change. Your approach should be to work out at least two to three times per week and as Joseph Pilates said: "in 10 sessions, you will feel the difference; in 20 you will see the difference; and in 30 you will have a whole new body."
