Kettlebell Exercises As Seen In Animation

By Rob Sutter


It's Saturday morning and I am watching some cartoons after a long night of drinking beer and eating junk food. The ritual of every weekend is to hang out and do absolutely nothing while the world flies ahead of me. My sister bought me a set of weights and a kettlebell exercises log book and told me to get stepping and lose some weight before I have a heart attack. The message was lost almost right away. I flicked through the channels and came across an installment of Dragon Ball Z. The show's basis falls around a race of aliens that appear human but are extremely powerful with these abilities like flying and laser blasting from their eyes and hands.

It may sound creepy I know but what makes me wonder is the amount of muscle and definition these characters have. While I sat on my butt and watched this show I pondered if they happen to use kettlebells and how powerful does their workout regimens have to be in order to become that defined? Can a person with a set of such weights run a training routine that could make them into a being of unnatural power? I looked over to the weights in question and reviewed my unfilled workout book. Sadly, I was not applying myself as much as I thought I was.

I hopped onto the computer and did a little research about the kettlebell exercises I had to do to become a muscular behemoth. Turns out, that in order to become physically endowed with well-defined muscles and the physique of a cartoon character from a distant planet I had to pick up the weights. It sounds easy enough, sure, but what about the workouts itself endorsed by fitness authorities like Lorna? What kind of workout will benefit me and helps in the development of my desired muscle mass? I was resolute to pick up the weights and begin right away.

It wasn't long before an epiphany dawned upon me. I wanted to be fit, sure, but not without having every bit of knowledge imaginable beforehand. After all, people can get hurt working out without prior knowledge and I did not want to be one of those people. Once I made the choice, I demanded that my sister teach me about the facets of these weights. She would go on to list every last bit of information in terms of workouts. I would soon learn that these weights would be a different challenge but one that I was happy to overcome if the results proved themselves.

After doing all of my research and confiding in my sister's support, I was ready to begin on my workout. I stood before the pile of unique weights on the living room floor and set myself for glory. I put on 300 to help stimulated me into a Spartan rage. I then grabbed said weights and picked up the first of many I would work with. I could feel the lightning strike in the air and the fire breathed through my nostrils as the sweat poured from my brow. After one lift of the 5 lb weights, I set the weights down and finished my regimen for the day. I then sat down and completed my movie and my cartoons on such a lazy Saturday.
