Randomizer takes it to a new Level
Kettlebells are a great workout, with tremendous strength and cardio benefits. This timer has all the features to create and execute a solid and varied training program. But what really clinches it for me is the implementation of the randomizer feature.
Pavel T., the "Evil Russian" and popular kettlebell proponent argues in his books and on his web site that to improve physical performance you need to do two things: first, get in the habit of swinging the kettlebell; and second, always train "the same but different". In Pavels words "Why same - because it ensures focussed adaption and makes you less sore. Why different - because variations help to reduce the odds of overuse while keeping the routine the same (spoken in a Russian accent, of course).
Workout intensity and volume must be varied. What happens if you dont? Doing a standard set 5-6 days per week, every week results in body and mind adaptations. You mentally and physically know what to expect - you pace yourself; and after awhile the workout gets boring. When you get bored, you get injured ... and if not injured, your progress slows or stops alltogether and you lose interest.
When randomizing your workout (same but different) your body and mind dont adapt, and you gain in strength and cardio. With previous versions, I programmed seven or eight different presets to change things up - but now, just shake the iPhone and get a whole new workout. With all its rich and varied features the Kettlebell Timer Pro is by far the best and most effective way to manage your training program. If your into kettlebells, or just starting, this app should be your training partner. Highly recommended!!!
