What is a kettlebell?

Originating in Russia,  the kettlebell has been around for centuries and is made from either cast iron or steel and looks like a cannon ball with a handle attached to it. Kettlebells can be used in short functional (explosive) swinging movements engaging many different muscle groups at the same time requiring more muscle firing at once working on strength speed power and core stabilization. There is no such thing as isolated muscle work in kettlebell training making it a very popular method of training all around the world today.
