Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Kettle Bells

Ive never used them but would these make a good addition to the home gym for ski related training?

I was thinking doing exercises with kettle bells would be good for core strength.

I see law suits in the future - wrist injuries and crushed toes.

Renry, Keelte beels can be a good workout, however if you're a fitish bloke those are much too light wink

Depends how high rep you go, I have some fairly light weight indian clubs and doing a decent circuit with them still kills.

Renry, have a couple of training session's with a qualified trainer as these things are great but doing it wrong could be a disaster, i have a 16,20&24kg for home training and they are great for strength and cardio, high reps with light weight kettle bells does not work Twisted Evil

kettlebell swings (2 arm or 1 arm) are a brilliant exercise for hamstrings (often neglected in favour of quads but really important for ACL protection) and core strength, I think they work well in a ski specific routine when done for up to a minute at a time.

kettlebells are awesome, fullstop!

any exercise with bells will do nothing but good for strength and conditioning.
Swings are superb for hip strength.

+1 for getting some expert training if you have not used them before. They are a great bit of kit, but can be dangerous if you don't use the correct technique.

Yes Kettle bells are wicked pieces of kit as long as you have good Technique and Protect your Back. Good posture is so important

Aldi are doing very good quality 7.5kg kettlebells for £8.99 each at the moment which is MEGA value for money.
Picked up 2 for the missus to use.

I use kettlebells at work for 15-20 mins every day, they are so variable and brilliant for cardio and strength gains.

im a member of crossfit in clitheroe as well and they use kettlebells heavily in half of the 'workout of the day' classes.

I use these too for ski training currently and have done in the past, they are good. I also like the medicine balls with handles.
