瑜伽壺鈴：力量與柔韌性

在健身領域中，我們總在尋求為訓練增添新意、提升層次的方法。重複性訓練雖能有效追蹤進度，卻也容易迅速變得枯燥乏味，進而削弱我們對鍛鍊的熱情。

We want to keep our workout attractive, so there is more of a motivational force for us to keep up with our fitness routines. Adding new and different equipment to our current workouts is a great way to add variety and new challenges. That’s why we are here to introduce kettlebell yoga.

何謂壺鈴瑜伽？

Kettlebell yoga combines Russian strength training with a cast iron steel ball and traditional vinyasa sequences.

將這兩項訓練結合的優點之一，在於您能同時鍛鍊柔韌性與力量。

瑜伽與壺鈴訓練之間存在若干相似之處。首先，壺鈴訓練包含大量流動動作，將看似不相關的練習串連成一連串的動作流。這與瑜伽相似——在各種瑜伽練習中，「流動」一詞被廣泛運用。

這些訓練方式喚醒了強大的身心連結，讓我們更覺察自身動作，從而創造出先前提到的流動感。壺鈴瑜伽融合陰與陽，將兩種看似無關的訓練方式完美交融。

練習壺鈴瑜伽能在更短時間內提升柔韌性、力量與穩定性。

When starting with kettlebell yoga, one of our favorite options is the Cube 7 and Boba 13 from Fluid X. It is a water-filled kettlebell that allows us to explore the different flows without worrying about hitting ourselves with it.

Some of the benefits we can mention about doing kettlebell yoga with water filled kettlebell are:

Adjustable water weight. The equipment grows with you.
It challenges your balance and stability. You’re working with “live” weight, the moving water.
Double handle. Increases the variety and amount of exercises you can perform.
Extremely portable. Just empty the water and take it with you anywhere.
