As we get older, our bodies require special types of training that can address prevailing health concerns that are more evident in the 40s to 60s and above bracket. The best one that tops my list when it comes to training for men over 40 is kettlebell training. It has proven to be beneficial to muscle building, endurance training, and boosting the male hormones, particularly testosterone. Doing this type of training is not an easy feat though, it requires guidance from a certified trainer to make sure you’re doing it properly without putting your body at risk of injury. Join me for another episode of Over 40 Alpha as I demonstrate some of my favorite techniques, the best types of kettlebells I recommend, and how to “respect” and connect yourself with the kettlebell.“With kettlebell training, especially as we get older, it's probably the best for us because there are so many benefits that roll over to our everyday life and roll over to longevity.” —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: Funk shares the story that started his 15 years of kettlebell journey as a Certified Kettlebell Training Specialist“Kettlebell is a skill and with every skill, there is a drill.” Here are the drills you need to master to reap the 9 benefits of kettlebell trainingTop reasons why you should train with kettlebells and what makes the kettlebell powerfulThese are the struggles men are facing as they get older and how kettlebell training can help themThis exercise boosts testosterone, promotes fat loss and increases Growth Hormones in just 12 minutesCheck out these common kettlebell training mistakes that lead to serious injuries, and who to reach out to if you want to do it rightLearn how kettlebell training positively impacts your testosterone and growth hormone levelsResources: Fitness Program: Join over 15,000 men in my Over 40 Alpha Workout, Nutrition and Program for just $1 and start building your foundation for amazing health – click here to start todayKettlebell Spartan Online Workshop and Course for Beginners – https://over40shred.com/KBWorkshopDo You Need Kettlebells?
