Balanced Existence

Western countries such as the United States and Australia are leading the way in terms of overweight and obese people. Roughly half of the population does eat breakfast. But 90% of those that do eat breakfast eat the wrong thing. In fact it has been shown that eating breakfast away from home, like so many of us do, increases your risk of obesity by a whopping 137%! If you belong to the other 50% of people who do not eat breakfast at all then you are increasing your risk of developing obesity by, wait for it, 450%!

Outside of old Russia, the military/special forces, secret service, fighters and martial artists, firemen and policemen kettlebells remain largely unknown. Happily this is changing. In the words of Pavel, the man largely responsible for the kettlebell revolution in the US, kettlebells will make you a better man or woman. You only need to take a look at the short list of people who do use kettlebells to know that you should be using one. A person deeply enmeshed in modern life is much like a soldier in the military. You know you need to undertake physical training to remain fit and healthy so you can continue to effectively do whatever it is you are working at. Be it rifle skills, fighting as a unit, or advancing your career. But you also don’t have much time to spare. That is why the military use kettlebells and why you should to. They are perfectly minimalist and despite that produce outstanding results. So much so that members of the Special Forces take their kettlebells to war with them.
