A few highlights:
"To begin with, kettlebell training systems in general are
highly functional. Functional exercises are one which improve
a person's ability to cope with the demands of their work or
sports environment. The functionality of any exercise can be
rated based on its biomotor richness. "Biomotor" means "life
movement" and so biomotor abilities are those abilities that
are necessary for functional human movement in any environment
where you must maintain your own center of gravity over your
own base of support."
"Total body exercise is an undeniable fact of kettlebell
training. If you do any kettlebell exercise standing on your
own two feet, no muscle escapes the training experience!"
"Time efficiency is almost guaranteed with kettlebell
training. Due to the tremendous demand on your nervous system
and the number of muscles used in each exercise, most people
are finished with their kettlebell workout in as little as
15-25 minutes."
"Kettlebells are excellent training tools for women and
children. Kettlebells come in all weights, and the light,
rubberized ones are perfect for women and children. The nature
of kettlebell training makes it excellent for weight loss and
body-shaping - two common goals in females - and also for
preventing obesity, which is a growing problem among children
today. We've got to get people off all the aerobic machines
and fixed axis machines and into some real (kettlebell)
exercise."
Paul Check is a well known author and, although occasionally
controversial, generally speaking he is highly respected.
