About Kettlebell Training: Kettlebells are an ancient weight training tool shaped like a cannonball with a thick handle. They range in weight from 4kg (9lbs) to 48kg (105lbs) and are quickly becoming the strength tool of choice for athletes, coaches and trainers. But kettlebells are for more than just the pros and "hardcore" fitness buffs - everyone and anyone can lift kettlebells and reap muscular strength, endurance, flexibility and cardiovascular benefits with every workout. Kettlebells offer a full body workout and participants never get bored, as the combinations of exercises one can do with kettlebells are endless!
Training with kettlebells accelerates the development of all purpose strength to easily handle the toughest and unexpected demands; boosts physical resilience to repel the hardest hits; builds staying power because the last round decides all; ensures the correct blend of strength with flexibility because strength that fails to reach is impotent; hacks fat off without dieting and aerobics; forges a fighter's physique so form matches function; gives you independence as the world's #1 portable gym makes you as strong as you want anywhere, anytime.
