Brutal Discreet Extreme Fitness

One of the things I like the most about extreme fitness is that, if done correctly, you can get your workout over with in less then an hour and many times between 30 and 45 minutes (not including stretching). For example with kettlebell training there is a great deal of variety. The number of exercises and variations are limited only by your creativity.

With a kettlebell or even two and a handful of drills you can get a hart pounding, fat burning, sweat dripping workout that will cover all of your strength, endurance and flexibility needs. It has been said that if you get bored training with kettlebells, you have no imagination, or you’re too exhausted to think.

Of course, the other side of the mixture principle is the minimalist approach of taking one or two exercises that cover the entire body and doing them at the exclusion of everything else. This kind of training can be great for extreme fitness enthusiasts of all ages and levels. This type of routine can often be seen as boring, but is will not only develop your toughness but your mental toughness as well.

A couple of good examples of this kind of bare bones thinking are the1000 rep snatch challenge, where you work up to completing 500 16kg kettlebell snatches per arm without stopping and the Department of Energy Man-Maker workout (developed by Bill Cullen, RKC) which alternates sets of high-rep swings or snatches with less intense periods of jogging. You can find detailed descriptions of both of these in the articles section HERE.

Some “core” exercise that can be done are; Swings, snatch and the Turkish Get-Up. The Turkish Get-Up, all though appear simply, will test every once of physical and mental discipline.

All in all kettlebells are just one of a myriad of tools you can utilize to experience extreme fitness for lifetime fitness.
