Get Fit, Get Fierce with Kettlebell Swings: Just 12 Minutes a Day to Lose Weight, Prevent Sitting Disease, Hone Your Body and Tone Your Booty!

by Don Fitch

Healthy exercise effects take place as you swing the kettlebell: • Your heart rate suddenly jumps up into training range. • Your blood flows quickly and completely, flushing and feeding cells in the farthest parts of your body. • Your lymph system, now powered by the huge pumping motions of the weighted swings, leaps in to action, optimizing lymph transport in your body. • The amount of calories you are burning suddenly jumps ten-fold. • Disease risky genes are turned off; health promoting genes are turned on. • Your muscles are used strenuously and build quickly. These new muscles respond to insulin, intake and use glucose, as well as strengthening you and just plain looking good. • Your bones, skeleton, cartilage and connective tissue immediately benefit from the precision workloads your swings impose. • Your posterior chain is strengthened (and well formed) by this most perfect exercise for toning your backside. This provides protection against lower back pain. • Your ability to think clearly is boosted by the flush of oxygenated blood to your brain and to every cell of your body.
