Kettlebells help Dave win gold medals. Why are they so good?

Sally — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:25:44 +0000

Kettlebells are the must have fitness equipment, giving an unparalleled training routine. Kettlebells are weights that can be lifted like ordinary dumbells and can be swung about for an intense cardio, resistance and core workout. With kettlebells you can have a workout in a very little space that will get your heart rate up and exercise your whole body. A 30 minute workout will burn 600 calories, the same as going for a run. There are plenty of exercises that you can do with a kettlebell. See the video on the right hand side of the homepage for some guidance.

Devine Bodies utilise kettlebells in their 1:1 and group sessions.

Well done to Dave C, who attends our Kettlebell classes at Northumbria University, on his double gold medals in the national martial arts championships.

Dave had this to say, “Thanks loads for the classes at Northumbria over the past few months. I really felt the difference in my strength and explosive power at the championships and I hate going to the gym to ‘pump iron’, unlike my opponents. I like my martial arts but I also appreciate the need for Strength and Conditioning for injury prevention and power. Your classes really made a massive difference to my performance and I am now a double gold medal champion. I thought I would drop you a message since you deserve to know of your important contribution to my success. Perhaps more importantly I acquired no injuries!”

Thanks for your comments Dave.

Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)

Sally — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:51:21 +0000

Many health benefits are associated with regular exercise, and the completion of PAR-Q is a sensible first step to take if you are planning to increase the amount of physical activity in your life.
For most people physical activity should not pose any problem or hazard. PAR-Q is designed to identify the small number of adults for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or those who should have medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them.
Common sense is the best guide in answering these few questions. Please read them carefully and check the correct answer opposite the question if it applies to you.
