KB Fit Britt and Kettlebell Kings present: What is Kettlebell Sport? An Intro
From the Kettlebell Kings blog:
For the most part kettlebells are mainstream fitness items now. Most people have heard of them or used them, but most people are still unfamiliar with Kettlebell Sport. Today we are going to give you a quick tutorial on Kettlebell Sport from one of the top competitive kettlebell athletes in the world, Brittany van Schravendijk.
One of the things we really like about Kettlebell Sport is how easy it is to get started with equipment, full CrossFit accessories require a number of plates, barbells, racks, ropes and more. To start training for Kettlebell Sport, you just need a kettlebell or two. Second, it is competitive, we are big believers in competitive fitness. Whether you are competing against yourself or others, competition brings out the best in most people and gives you something to work towards whether it is losing weight, improving strength or winning competitions.
Additionally, anyone can compete. A variety of weight classes and kettlebell weights exist to compete in.
The Basics of Kettlebell Sport:
- Endurance kettlebell lifting, lifters have 10 minutes to complete as many reps as possible. - Efficiency and technique are important to maintain energy throughout set.
The Benefits of Kettlebell Sport:
1) Great goals to motivate your workouts.
