Too Busy To Exercise? Kettlebells To The Rescue!
Copyright (c) 2009 Caroline Radway
If you are still struggling to get to the gym three times a week for your weekly dose of exercise, you can stop beating yourself up about it right now! Most of us can’t find the time needed to get to the gym this often, and rather than feeling guilty and promising yourself you will manage it next week, why not try a change of tack?
After all, the definition of madness is repeating the same thing over, while expecting different results.
If you can’t get to the gym, don’t blame your lack of commitment or motivation. Blame the model. Getting to the gym involves travel, changing, finding a locker, finding equipment that is free and coming into contact with a lot of other people’s sweat. Not surprising it can often be the last place we want to be at the end of a hard day at the office.
Instead, why not invest in a chunk of cast iron, that you can store at home and that you can use any time and anywhere?
Instead of struggling to find the will to workout after a day at the office, get up 15 minutes earlier and do a pre-breakfast metabolism boosting session that will have you burning fat all day, feeling super-charged and energetic, and help you sleep better at night (so you feel fresher in the morning, despite the alarm going off 15 minutes earlier).
10 – 15 minutes a day, or 20 – 30 every other day is not to hard to find, especially if you take my advice and make time rather than hoping to find it somewhere (after all, it is elusive and rarely ‘found’).
An example workout:
Start with a dynamic warm up – squats, lunges, shoulder circles etc with no weight, for a few minutes.
2 handed swings – 1 minute
1 arm kettlebell chest press – 15 on each side
2 handed swings – 1 minute
1 arm kettlebell row – 15 on each side
Figure of 8 pass and hold – 15 on each side
1 arm military press – 15 on each side
Figure of 8 pass and hold – 15 on each side
Windmill – 10 on each side
Kettlebell Russian Twist – 15 on each side
Plank – as long as you can!
Perform this circuit one or 2 times through, resting as you need to depending on your fitness level (decrease the rest as you get fitter). Be sure to stretch your main muscles, paying attention to tight areas, after every session.
This is the by far one of the best ways to start your day – boosting your metabolism, mood and energy levels so you are bound to hit the rest of your day with style.
