Kettlebell: The Most Versatile and Dynamic Training Tool in Fitness

Kettlebell is the English word for 'Russian girya' - an 18th-century cannonball-like metal weight (made of cast iron or steel) used to weigh crops using a Russian unit of measurement called "Pood"(roughly 36lb). By the end of the 19th century, the girya had morphed into a training tool used in competitive weightlifting in Russia and various parts of Europe. In the 20th century, this unconventional training tool was introduced to the Western fitness world and it adopted the term Kettlebell. Since then, the dynamic and somewhat awkward kettlebell has proven to be one of the most effective and versatile functional fitness tools available for sale.

Kettlebell Benefits

Kettlebells are an all-in-one total body strength & conditioning tool. Kettlebell training builds muscle, strength, explosive power, and endurance through dynamic, compound, multiplanar exercises. Moreover, due to its offset and unilateral training nature, kettlebells will greatly improve your core strength, coordination, balance, stabilizer muscles, grip strength, range of motion, and all-around athleticism. All in all, the kettlebell is the perfect tool for burning fat, gaining strength, and building lean muscle mass.
