Did you know that you could improve your kettlebell strength with kettlebell workouts? For those of you who have no idea what a kettlebell is I will explain it for you. A kettlebell is a type of weight tool that resembles a cannonball but instead of firing ball shaped projectiles it fires off round objects that have been shaped like bullets. Now, if that doesn't give you a good enough idea of what a kettlebell looks like you really should try to picture a volleyball or a basketball goal ball with a handle. The handle is the kettlebell and when you use this ancient strength and conditioning device you will find out why they are called kettlebells.
DIY kettlebells are very inexpensive and simple to create, you can buy everything that you need right now at your local home improvement store or even online. You may be wondering, are kettlebells any good? Well, since they are DUMB (impressively stupid) hahahaha, sorry, could not resist. They really are one of the most efficient ways to get a toned body without spending a fortune on a membership at a fancy gym or anything like that. I am talking about using kettle bells from the comfort of your own house by simply building your own set of kettle bells out of sand.
To make DIY kettlebells you will need some kind of a day kettlebells builder, a sand (or other type of coarse sand), and a PVC pipe handle. Start by lining up the sand and the PVC pipe handle on top of the sand. Next, drill a small hole in the top of the sand so that you can put your hands in the sand and have easy access to your kettlebell when you need to use it. This way you do not have to get your hands dirty with the sand which can stain your clothing. If your handle is made of metal wrap it with a thin layer of silicon to keep the handles from rusting.
After you have built your DIY kettlebell set, the next step will be to add weights to it. Kettlebell weights are inexpensive and can be found almost anywhere. Try shopping at the local thrift stores for old books on exercise equipment. There are also many cheap sets of kettlebell weights that you can find just about anywhere on line. Just search for kettlebells and the words "Kettlebells" and you will find a whole bunch of places that sell kettlebells online. Remember to take the shipping and handling into consideration when ordering your kettlebells online, as well as the cost of the kettlebell itself.
Now for the last step, make homemade kettlebells with your new weights by swinging them around on your wrists and forearms. To do this, stand in front of a chair or on a bench while holding one of the weights with each hand. Then, extend your arms towards the sides of your body. At the same time, swing them in different ways. Keep moving the weights back and forth in this manner, and soon you will see that swinging is much easier than pulling.
To do the entire routine for your first workout, it is going to take you about 45 minutes. But, with a little bit of practice you should be able to do your workouts in no time.
