Kettlebell training produces outstanding results and helps body to work and function better.
As muscle balance is restored everything improves: strength, endurance, flexibility and balance.
My favorite type of outcome is the one that comes with a bit of surprise and bewilderment.
I call them bonuses (LOVE ‘em!)
This week (very exciting!) one of the clients noticed her dizziness and lightheadedness were greatly relieved and almost gone (she had the symptoms for over 40 years).
Any exercise that required lowering of her head was out. Dizziness would set it and we could not continues.
We stuck with ‘upright’ exercises… and now, we don’t have to!
Here is what “Allison” says about the experience:
“Last fall (2007) I started working with Denis on my individual goals:
“balance, strength, flexibility”.
This began with exercises, some with props, most in the “postural correction” category, some aimed specifically at strengthening legs and ankles, which helps balance.
In the spring, we headed for the park and playground equipment (climbing, hanging, going over and around things to expand range of joint movement).
Now the kettlebells are flying around and I am getting notably stronger: legs,
back, arms, neck, everything! In addition to making notable progress toward my original goals, I’ve unexpectedly started losing some problems.
I’ve had “forever”: fear of heights, and becoming dizzy when my head is way down, then up. Head-downward exercises that were impossible several months ago are now just fine.”
Note that “Allison” was not dizzy while exercising.
If you feel dizzy, please don’t reach for you kettlebell and start swinging it.
There are different causes of dizziness, see your doctor first.
