NOVEMBER FITNESS TIP!

Have you ever tried kettlebells?  You see them at the gym and you see videos on them, but have you ever wondered - why don't I just use a regular hand weight?  I love playing with different pieces of gym equipment - fun to be creative, challenge yourself, and mix it up!  The bell's superiority lies in how it forces you to brace yourself as you move the odd shaped tool.  The bell part is "off-center" when it's in motion (compared to a dumbbell or bar, which have equal weight at each end).  This means your body is constantly under tension, trying to stabilize and forced stabilization equals core engagement - SCORE!
