Why will kettlebell lifting succeed where contemporary bodybuilding and aerobic exercise routines have failed?
Kettlebell lifting with proper technique requires that all of large muscle groups of both the upper and lower body participate to move the resistance through the desired range of motion. Hamstrings, glutes, hips, quads, abs, chest, shoulders, traps and lats, not to mention every arm muscle are taxed, particularly during the ballistic movements. The ballistic, high repetition movements also build the tendon and ligament strength and thickness that is neglected by other contemporary training methods.
