Kettlebells

 

What are Kettlebells? If you're not familiar with them, you're missing out on one of the hottest trends in strength training.

Kettlebells look like a black metal bowling ball with a suitcase handle attached, and they date back to Tsarist Russia! These big lumps of iron come in a variety of weights, and are a great way to do standard exercises like bench presses, curls, and rows, as well as fast moving, ballistic motions such as snatches, swings, cleans, and jerks.

Kettlebells come in a variety of standardized weights, as follows: 8lbs, 12lbs, 18lbs, 26lbs, 35lbs, 44lbs, 53lbs, 70lbs, 80lbs, 88lbs, 97lbs and 105lbs.

They are very effective for developing strength and muscular endurance, and when used properly can also be a highly effective way to burn off body fat.

This type of training has become popular with many types of trainers and athletes, everything from chiropractors through to MMA, footballers to 7 time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.

By adding this type of training to your workout programme you can strengthen your core, as well as adding stability and increased flexibility to key joints like knees, hips and shoulders.
