Image via WikipediaWhat are Kettle Balls or Kettlebells?

Kettle Balls or kettlebells are actually Russian weights. They’re made of cast iron which makes them extremely heavy. They range in size from four pounds to almost 200 pounds. They’re popular because they’re easy to use. A kettlebell is a round weight with a handle on it. The handle gives you more control over the movement. It also means you can easily hold one weight in each hand.

The Benefits of Kettlebells

Kettlebells are compact. Instead of requiring a full dumbbell set for strength training you can grab a kettlebell kit for your home gym and store it in a corner. They’re also much easier to use than a basic dumbbell. Traditionally, women have avoided dumbbells and weight lifting.

However, kettlebells make strength training with weights more accessible. And due to their growing popularity many manufacturers offer attractive and colorfully painted kettlebells. No more drab cast iron and steel. You can now have pink, purple, yellow and red weights! It’s motivating and cheerful.

Additionally, strength training with kettlebells is also something you can fit into a few minutes. If you have ten minutes you can pick up your weights and focus on a muscle group. You don’t need to do a full sixty minute workout to start seeing results.
