KettleBells for the pregnant mama!
I love new DVD’s for pregnant women – especially when they don’t involve the boring yoga and pilates stuff.
What are kettlebells exactly? Kettlebells are designed very differently from free weights. The weight distribution of a kettlebell is in a form of a ball with a handle on it. The handle allows you to swing it around smoothly through your hands and the ball is able to rest gently on your wrist and forearm. When doing exercises such as Windmills, Turkish Get Ups, Presses, and Snatches, the ball slightly pulls your arm back which allows your shoulder to become more flexible and develops the internal stabilizer muscles. You can swing a dumbbell but it does not feel as natural and powerful as it would when swinging a kettlebell.
Check out Lauren Brook’s new ketttlebell DVD: “The Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells”. She is the ultimate fitness mommy and great motivation! Check out the trailer here!
