The Kettlebell difference
The design of the kettlebell, with its handle and suspended body, increases angular momentum with swinging motions. No other form of conditioning can provide the dynamic effect of kettlebell training.
Most strength training approaches are relatively static but not kettlebell training. Running athletes, Navy SEALs and firefighters are engaged in dynamic activities making kettlebell training a perfect match.
Kettlebell Training for the Running Athlete is a 23 minute program designed specifically to meet the needs of runners. Dynamic kettlebell training will improve your core strength, leg strength, coordination and balance. You will discover imbalances previously unrecognized and have the tools to perfect them.
Kettlebell Training for the Running Athlete is the only kettlebell program specifically designed for runners. Physical therapist, Bryan Whitesides, created this DVD based on his career's experience working with runnners.
Whether your sport is distance running, sprinting, soccer, or basketball this program is for you.
Kettlebell Training for Runners
Muscle Tuning
Strength Training
Core Training
Balance Training
Muscle Tuning
Muscle Tuning is a concept described by Dr. Nigg at Calgary, Alberta's exercise physiology lab. With each step you take while running there is a certain amount of vibration that occurs in both your bones and muscles. Muscle tuning trains your muscles to respond quickly and effectively to ensure appropriate vibrational ranges in your muscles and bones. With the swinging motion of kettlebell training your foot, leg and core muscles are constantly adjusting to the new challenge. The results are a well tuned neuromuscular system.
Strength Training
Research has demonstrated that strength training can improve your running times, but what is the best approach. The exercises selected for Kettlebell Training for the Running Athlete focus on the areas that will most benefit runners: feet, calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals and abs. Not only do these exercises hit the key areas - the dynamic nature of kettlebell training makes them extremely functional and specific to running. Running is a dynamic sports and requires dynamic training for optimal results.
Core Training
Many athletes think that doing some crunches is all they need for core training. Wrong! Core muscles
are defined as the muscles that attach to your pelvis, with some of these extending to your leg and some to your trunk. There are actually 29 pairs of these muscles. We can't design exercises to stengthening each of these muscles individually but we can ensure that each of the major muscle groups (abs, hip abductors, gluteals, hip flexors, hamstrings, groin and lower back) are trained. Kettlebell Training for the running athlete trains each of these groups dynamically and functionally.
Balance Training
Balance is the functional expression of an optimized nervous system, muscular system and skeletal system. Kettlebell Training for the running athlete will work your balance in a dynamic way that you have never experienced before. You will be amazed at the difference balance training can make in your running form and efficiency.
Born to Run
Have you read the national best seller, Born to Run by Christopher McDougall? A great book that explores the history of ultradistance running, the mysterious Tarahumara indian runners and the possibile human origins of running. McDougall presents a compelling case for breaking away from the maximally supportive running shoe and adopting a more natural running style. The Tarahumara runners run in sandals, usually constructed from car tires - no pronation control there. There feet are conditioned and strong - able to adapt to the rugged terrain they run on.
The exercises presented in Kettlebell Training for the running athlete are performed without shoes for the specific purpose of training your foot muscles to become responsive to changing stimulus. You will be impressed with how dynamic kettlebell training restores your foots natural ability to adapt and propel. The bottom line is that you run better, faster, stronger and more balanced.
