Ladies if you are tired of hitting workout plateaus or you just aren't getting the results from your workouts that you hoped for then you need to take a minute to read and apply the following 2 kettlebell drills to your workout program. I am addressing this article to my more experienced female fitness enthusiast. The reason is that to be a kettlebell Greek Goddess you must be willing to be a little patient in learning new technique. Remember that kettlebell training is a combination of both strength and skill.
1. Clean and Walkout Push-Up Combo: For this drill you will only need the availability of a single kettlebell. Place the bell right between your feet. Squat down and properly perform a clean lift bringing the bell up to your chest. Immediately lower the bell back to the ground and stay crouched to walk out on your hands until your body is extended into an upright push-up position. Once you are fully extended then simply execute a push-up and walk back on your hands to the beginning crouched position. Once here simply clean the bell with the same arm and start the process over again. Attempt to perform 10 of these on each side for starters.
2. Clean, Press, and Walk: Ladies this is a popular move among women's fitness enthusiast. For this drill you will only need the availability of a single bell and a flat open space to walk. Mark off a distance in the walking space of about 25 yards. Clean the bell to your chest and press it above your head. Make sure your elbow is locked into place and that your shoulder is firmly sucked into the socket. Now walk the 25 yard distance with the kettlebell above your head. Once you reach the other side simply lower the kettlebell and clean and press it with the other arm. Walk back with the opposite arm. This is a great drill for building core stability, strength, and speeding up your weight-loss progress! Train hard and enjoy ladies.

Kettlebell Drills For Women - 2 Exercises For the Female Kettlebell Beginner to Get Huge Results!
I must say that lately I have been getting lot of questions from the hardcore female fitness enthusiast about kettlebells and this really excites me. It has taken a while, but I guess I am starting to make sense to the ladies that are at least open-minded on different methods of training. Because of this I have included 2 base drills below to help you ladies who are also hungry for more information on kettlebell training and fitness, but may be in the beginning stages of your kettlebell program.
To begin, the base movement or lift of the kettlebell is known as the double-arm swing. This particular exercise incorporates about 75 to 85% of your working muscles and will yield a huge result within the scope of your training program. Because of this you benefit from a huge calorie burn, tremendous cardiovascular conditioning, and a big love affair with this different way of training!
To perform the double-arm swing you will want to make sure that you stand with your feet about shoulder width apart. Perform a proper squat and pick up the bell. From here you will want to execute a movement known as the hip snap. This is done by you flexing and extending at your hips and knees back and forth in a continuos fluent motion. As you do this your arms should be straight and your shoulders should be retracted. Throughout this movement allow the kettlebell to swing back and forth between your legs creating an arc that brings the bell up to your chest level. For starters, attempt to complete 20 to 30 reps with a moderately heavy bell for each set. You will quickly see how training with kettlebells is a whole new world of fitness!
The next drill I want to talk about is a more intense version of the double-arm swing. This drill is called a full range double-arm swing and is performed just like the normal swing with the exception that you allow the bell to build enough momentum to elevate all the way up to above your head! This adds immediate intensity to the drill being performed. Take your women's fitness and kettlebell training to new heights. Give these drills a try and feel free to email me to let me know about your progress. Ladies, train hard and train flawlessly!

Kettlebells For Women - A Way to Swing the Pounds Away!
Ladies, the kettlebell is your best friend. As a strength and conditioning professional I promise you that kettlebell training is one of the most efficient ways that you can train your body for optimal fitness and to speed up the entire fat-loss process! I want to explain to you one of the most basic lifts involved in kettlebell training that you can use on a regular basis to achieve a super-fit body.
Kettlebell swings, or more specifically double-arm kettlebell swings, are one of the most basic kettlebell lifts. For you women this is a tremendous lift that incorporates hundreds of your working muscles and up to about 80% of your body's total effort. You can use this lift frequently and learn many other lifts with the kettlebell by making slight variations in this one. Its a building process.
To perform the double-arm kettlebell swing simply set the bell between your feet. Squat down to pick it up. Keep your arms straight and allow the bell to hang at your groin. From here you will want to perform the hip snap motion in order to create momentum with your body to swing the bell in an arc back and forth from between your legs up to your chest level. In order to perform the hip snap you will want to flex and extend at both your hips and knees in a smooth continuous motion. Don't perform a full squat when doing the hip snap. Instead only flex in a quarter squat stance to generate the full motion from your hips.
If you want to swing those pounds away then start this drill by swinging up to about a hundred repetitions with a moderately heavy bell. You will quickly see how effective this device can be. Train hard ladies and enjoy.
