Kettlebell Training
Of all the exercise tools seen at gyms and health clubs, nothing is shaped so unusually as the kettlebell. And it is this unusual shape that makes the kettlebell so effective as a training tool.

In fact, the history of kettlebell training shows that this uniquely shaped piece of kit has been in use for centuries in Russia as a fitness tool for the common man.
And for the past several decades, kettlebells have become popular globally and is now accepted as one of the most convenient and efficient fitness tools.

Kettlebell Training Offers Maximum Benefit
Kettlebell workouts combine benefits of strength training, cardiovascular training and flexibility training. Sounds unbelievable, but it’s true! No other workout offers so many benefits with just one single piece of equipment. This makes kettlebell training highly effective, cost-efficient and convenient.
With just one set of kettlebells, you are ready to go through an amazingly explosive workout that has the potential to burn up to 400 calories in just 20 minutes.
Kettlebells are shaped in such a way that the handle is way lighter than the bell and this imbalance makes kettlebell handling extremely challenging.

You really have to strain all the major and minor muscles of the body to stabilize the tool and move it in the direction you want. Kettlebell workouts are thus full-body workouts that strengthen your body and give it a lean and toned look.

Kettlebell workouts are also categorized as functional training. Many of the kettlebell lifts that you go through during kettlebell exercises mimic daily life functional movements.

When performed regularly, kettlebell training thus ensures ease of movement so you can perform all your daily functions more efficiently.

History of kettlebell training
In the former USSR, it was mandatory for workers to undergo kettlebell training to improve their daily performance. They were also used by the military to improve athletic performance.

Kettlebells are also convenient to carry around which make them a great tool for the personal trainer able to deliver a killer workout anytime, anywhere. They last for years which make them a worthy investment in the long run.

Kettlebell Weights
Kettlebells weights are measured in ‘pood’. This is a Russian term and is now extensively used to indicate weights in kettlebells. One pood is approximately equal to 16kg or 32lb.

Going through the history of kettlebell training, you will be surprised to know that this was initially used in medieval times to measure crops in farmer markets across Russia.

Buying your First Kettlebell
Kettlebells look so cute; sitting smugly in their racks that you will be tempted to pick up the very first one you see. However, if you are new to this training tool, you should know how to select the right weight before you commence training. For men, it is advisable, to begin with, a kettlebell weighing 16kg while lady trainees should ideally start with an 8kg kettlebell.

Also, remember to check out the handle or the ‘horn’ of the kettlebell. The horn should provide an easy and firm grip and you should be able to set your fingers comfortably around it without the handle banging too low on the forearm.
