Gym memberships are incredibly expensive, so I have been on the look out for an alternative work out routine that can be flexible with work and social commitments, and also doesn't break the bank.. After coming across Kettle Bells at a free personal training session last year, I thought these would be the perfect solution to help me keep toned in the comfort of my living room!
I chose a 5kg weight as I didn't want it to be too heavy that I couldn't do a decent amount of repetitions and sets of each movement. The shape of the kettle bell allows you to do a variety of movements -standing with a bicep curl, lunging, squatting or situps.
Clear a space in your living room, put a music channel on and chose different movements where you can push yourselve phsyically, raise your heart rate and break out into a bit of a sweat! Although kettle bells are a great tool for excercising, you still need to have regular cardiovascular activities every week, such as jogging or skipping - neither of which are expensive either.
Always remember to stretch one you've finished exercising too, this will reduce the amount of pain the next day!
