What is a Kettlebell?
The Girya, or Kettlebell, is a devastatingly effective tool for functional
strength, explosive power, endurance, agility, and timing. Kettlebell's
are an incredible conditioning tool. Unlike dumbbells that have a
well-balanced stationary centre of gravity. The kettlebell has a fluctuating
centre of gravity and a lever like handle, which creates a fluctuating
resistance arm, generating a greater load on the force arm through
a range of motion.
Most Kettlebell exercises are full body movements, recruiting major
muscle groups, core, and stabilizing muscles to control the inertia,
which is generated throughout the movement. The body must slow and
absorb the ballistic shock created by this inertia, requiring the
synergistic firing of agonist/antagonist motor units.
When we say functional strength and endurance, we mean conditioning
that is immediately transferable to our everyday lives. That could
mean swinging an axe, baseball bat, or a golf club, or running to
catch a bus while holding your child and negotiating around trip hazards.
These everyday actions require full body muscle and motor systems
to fire in synergy to execute our desired actions effectively .
