Kettlebells - What are they? and How to use them?
 

Kettlebells {Cast - Iron Balls} are iron equipment resembling much like a cannonball with a handle. Imagine a bowling ball but with a suitcase handle attached to it for grip.


Originally invented by Russians for strength and flexibility, now kettlebells are used for a wide range of strength activities, from Muscle and Strength Training to losing Weight. Pavel Tsatsouline is often credited for bringing the brutal Kettlebell training to US and rest of the world from Russia.
 

Now kettlebells are available in varying sizes - 35 lbs, to 100 lbs. Remember it is always to buy in pairs as demanded by the best Kettlebell Exercises.
