Kettle Bells (Kettle Blast!) Kettle Blast! Training with Kettlebells produces phenomenal levels of fitness and strength which is why their use was originally almost exclusive to the military and martial artists such as boxers who require such attributes. The results of a kettlebell program are unrivalled by many other training methods, as well as the gains in strength and fitness, they lead to a finely toned and non bulky physique, something which is highly desirable to many. In Kettle Blast!, you will be taken through many different exercises, progressing from a beginner level through to more advanced techniques at a pace comfortable to you, and before long you will understand the reason for the name of the class as you explode into action in one of the most fun and rewarding training methods around. Kettlebells were a training tool first used by the Russian Military for hundreds of years ago before spreading to the West. Their
use involves almost every part of the body simultaneously whether for stabilization or to generate the power needed to perform the exercises. Today their growing success in the main stream market is in part due to their recognition as one of the greatest calorie burners and generators of functional strength. The exertion of a kettlebell workout and the fact that hundreds of muscles are recruited to perform the exercises mean that the body’s metabolic rate is increased for hours after each workout and hence their phenomenal calorie burning potential. By functional strength, we mean strength gains which aid people carrying out their everyday activities such as walking around without getting back pain, walking up stairs, lifting things and getting in and out of cars. It is also common for their use to result in improved posture due to the development of the core and all the finer supporting muscles often missed by other forms of training. The excercises really teach the body to work in harmony to produce maximum power output, which is why their use has so many benefits in everyday life.

Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) is one of the most popular forms of aerobic exercises. Muay Thai is the Thai name for a form of hard martial art practiced in several Southeast Asian countries including Thailand and Cambodia. Almost all the techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the hip with each kick, punch, and block. The rotation of the hips in Muay Thai techniques, and intensive focus on "core muscles" (such as abdominal muscles) is very distinctive and is what sets Muay Thai apart from other styles of martial arts. This makes it an effective and challenging form of training. The exercise is especially beneficial for women, because it is a great defense technique. Apart from being an xercise for self defense, it also aids in loosing weight at a fast pace, thereby helping you to achieve your goal of a beautiful, toned body shape.
