Kettlebellopus – Newsletter #18

Are you making continual progress in your kettlebell training? Or are you still doing the same relative numbers of sets, reps and weight as you were doing weeks or even months ago?

          Kettlebell training is also progressive resistance.  Sets, reps, weight and time are the variables one manipulates to increase the productivity of workouts.  Work in definable time periods (4 weeks for example).  Set a goal: increase reps, increase weight of kettlebells, or get more work done in a given time period.  When a particular is realized, move on to another one.  Also, this is a good time to change exercises or exercise variations and set up new goals.  By working out in this fashion you should experience continued improvement, and you should also keep your workouts fresh and stimulating.

          Kettlebell training operates under the same principles as any other form of training.  The main objective is measurable improvement over a specific segment of time.
