Power lifting champion Evelyn Stevenson launches a series of videos using York Fitness kettlebells to blitz the body – demonstrating fitness techniques that are popular with red carpet celebrities
London, UK - British power lifting champion, London 2012 Olympic weightlifting hopeful and model Evelyn Stevenson, has teamed up with York Fitness to launch a selection of online videos on York Fitness’ Facebook page, and on YouTube, to help people shift unwanted body fat and become fitter, leaner and stronger using York Fitness’ kettlebells.
Evelyn started her career in modelling, before turning to professional strength sports. In March earlier this year, she became the English Olympic weightlifting and British power lifting champion and therefore knows how important it is to keep fit and stay in shape.
Kettlebells have become the secret fitness weapon of choice for celebrities such as Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston, who use them to keep their bodies lean and taut without adding bulk.
Using York Fitness’ kettlebells, Evelyn demonstrates three differing routines, improving core stability and all over muscle toning. In the online videos, Evelyn completes various kettlebell exercises including the ‘Swing’, ‘Windmill’ and ‘Russian Twist’ – a fitness technique that has become a widely recognised tool for personal training and fitness and is especially great for toning abdominal muscles.
Stevenson comments, “The benefits from using kettlebells are endless, and the routines are simple. York Fitness has developed another great training tool for home workouts, which not only can see huge weight loss and toning results but also save on space. ”
The York Fitness kettlebells begin at 2kg and then increase in 2kg increments up until a 20kg weight. However, the kettlebells are also available in a 2, 3 and 4kg set. The stylish new kettlebell not only looks good, the easy grip handle, vinyl case and rubber anti slip base ensure maximum safety and movement.
York Fitness’s kettlebells allow variety eliminating boring home workouts and encourage weight loss, strength and conditioning, balance and core stability. Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's centre of mass is extended beyond the hand. This facilitates ballistic and swinging movements.
By their nature, typical kettlebell exercises build strength and endurance, particularly in the lower back, legs, and shoulders, and increase grip strength. The basic movements, such as the swing, snatch, and the clean and jerk, engage the entire body at once.
The cost of a York Fitness kettlebells ranges from £4.99 to £49.99 depending on the chosen weight. Find out more about our Kettlebells range.
