Breaking Out of the Gym & into the Great Outdoors with Kettlebell Exercises

By Greg Diener


I love going to the gym and I don't mind stepping onto a treadmill or going to my fitness center to take a kettlebell class. However, I know dozens of people who cannot stand the idea of being trapped in a gym. A handful of my friends prefer the great outdoors and to get fresh air while they work out. Still, some people aren't sure how to get the most out of an outdoor workout. For those who want to break out of the gym but don't know how, these are the reasons I recommend kettlebell exercises.

1. Portable: Kettlebells are weights with handles attached to them for the user to grasp when lifting. Their shape and size make them easy enough to tote around. You can bring your kettlebells into your yard, to the park, or on a camping trip and be able to work out easily. Because kettlebell exercises provide you with a cardio workout and resistance training, it's like bringing along an assortment of bulky training equipment in a much smaller package.

2. Simple: Kettlebell exercises are simple to do. The movements incorporated in the workout mimic everyday motions that we're already familiar with. As long as a user knows the basic techniques and right form, the workout can be performed anywhere. Additionally, just because these exercises are easy doesn't mean that they aren't effective. Working out with these special weights wherever you are will keep you in shape and feeling accomplished without burning you out.

3. Fun: The best aspect of the kettlebell is how much fun it is. The dynamic motions and unique routines mean that you'll never find yourself bored. Because the equipment is fun to use, you won't mind toting the weights along with you when you're on your way out the door. Since the workout isn't monotonous, it's a great choice to make sure that you always get a varied workout but don't have to constantly be dragging around an excessive amount of training equipment. If you love the excitement of exploring the great outdoors, you might just love the excitement of exploring everything the regimen can do for you.

For those of you who don't enjoy working out at the gym but want to commit yourself to an innovative fitness routine, consider picking up a kettlebell. The weight itself makes the equipment an ideal choice to bring around. The easy to grasp routines will allow you to feel like working out on your own is never a chore while still getting an effective workout. And most importantly, the exciting and dynamic routines will get you eager to step out and start swinging one of these unique weights. Remember that fitness isn't limited to local gyms and that you can get your workout done in your yard, at the park, or on a camping trip as long as you're comfortable doing so.
