Kettlebells for the finest rear end
Whatever we call our backsides: the bum, the buttocks, the buns, the glutes, we all spend a lot of time thinking about that area of our bodies, isn’t that right ladies? Well, we have an exciting nwe option for training that will help with this: kettlebells!
For those who are not familiar with them, kettlebells can help you get one amazing workout, in the comfort of your home, at the gym or even outside in your backyard or at the park. Since one of the basic moves of kettlebell training is the squat, no wonder it works wonders! I believe the squat is probably the best exercise that can burn fat fast and effectively, around your gluteus (bum), hamstrings (back of the thigh) and quadriceps (front of the thigh).
The swing not only works your legs and bum, but it also works as a cardiovascular workout. The two combined make a deadly team to kill the fat where it counts! Add to this swinging squat the straight leg dead lift, the lunge and all the variations of these exercises your imagination can come up with, and you are bound to succeed!
So girls, let’s get those kettlebells swinging, and get the killer bum you have always dreamt of faster than you thought you could! The squats, dead lifts and lunges will sculpt that rebellious tail of yours, but be aware, good things are never free – this is no miracle workout, you will have to work your butt off, and you will feel it burn. Look at the bright side, you'll see results in no time.
Not only will you shed inches, but you’ll also increase your cardiovascular function and your strength. Speaking of strength, most of the kettlebell exercises, including the swing, its variations and the deadlifts will also drastically increase your upper body strength, arms, back and shoulders, so no matter how you look at it, it’s a win-win situation!
Tips - As a beginner, start by trying all the exercises (squat, dead lift and lunges) without the kettlebell, to ensure proper execution, and to get your body slowly accustomed to the exercises.
- Contract the gluteus (bum) muscles whenever possible to further isolate it, especially on the upward motion of the squat and lunges and during the extension motion of the dead lift.
- Once you have mastered the straight leg dead lift, try the one leg dead lift, that exercise is sure to work up your great buns of steel!!!
- Have fun! Vary the exercises, repetitions, weights and order in which you execute them, that way your body will always be challenged and that fat will keep burning!
