What’s So Great About Kettlebells?
The reason for the boost in kettlebell training it that it gets back to basic training that requires functional, whole body fitness. Kettlebells require an athlete to focus on whole-body conditioning because lifting and controlling a kettlebell forces the entire body, and specifically the core, to contract as a group, building both strength and stability at the same time. Kettlebell workouts engage multiple muscle groups at once. In this way, they are a great option for getting a whole body workout in a short time, and burning A LOT of calories!

When performing any abdominal exercise, always remember: quality over quantity!!!
In a standard crunch, don’t just bob your head up and down a hundred times.. lift your shoulder blades off the ground, your head and chest moving up and forward slightly so that your abs literally CRUNCH together. Squeeze HARD at the top, making sure to exhale on each rep. They should BURN by 15 reps.. if they don’t.. you are either doing them wrong or you need to add resistance. Keep them SLOW and CONTROLLED.

This little number has been going around, and let me say: I am DROOLING! A healthier recipe option is at the bottom. You could also up the health factor by experimenting with almond flour/meal instead of bread crumbs or flour.
