A lot of people don’t know how important combining weights into your workout routine is. A lot of you know that Shauna and I come from a high fashion modeling background. The thing about fashion modeling is that there is a lot of pressure to stay “skinny” and to not gain muscle. We think muscle and toning looks amazing. Many women think that combining weights into your workout will make you look bulky. We can tell you from experience, combining weights into your workout will not make you bulky it will make you lean and toned.
One of our favorite weights that we incorporate into our work out is the kettle bell. The amazing thing about the kettle bell is that it’s center of gravity changes during your workout routine. The shape of the kettle bell allows you to transition from one exercise to the other without putting it down. Because you can transition from one workout to the next you burn calories faster and get toned faster then your normal workouts. According to the researchers at the University of Wisconsin, you can burn 20 calories a minute, or 400 in a 20 minute session just using a kettle bell during your workout.
Shauna and I are super excited to get new custom made kettle bells from Zoo Bells. As soon as we get the kettle bells we will start posting photos of our kettle bell workouts so you can see what we do with them.
I hope you guys are all looking forward to seeing our ‘Fit Twin Tuesday’ videos that we will be posting on our youtube channel: www.youtube.com/BakerTwins If you haven’t followed our youTube channel yet, please do.
