Why Kettlebells?

The kettlebell or girya (Russian: гиревой) is a traditional Russian cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle. A favorite tool of the strongmen of old, the Kettlebell has enjoyed a revival of late due largely to the efforts of strength and flexibility coach Pavel Tsatsouline.

You can do standard weight training exercises with kettlebells such as: bench presses, curls, and rows. However, the unique value of kettlebells is derived from ballistic (fast exercise) work such as: snatches, swings, cleans, and jerks.

Why do kettlebells produce results?
 It's all in the way you use them.  You don't "workout"  with a Kettlebell, you practice.  It's like practicing the piano - you try to improve your performance by refining your technique, learning when to work hard and when to relax - tension and release.

 Kettlebells are small and portable - no need for a separate workout room at home.  You can even bring one down to the park, in your garage or back yard. They go anywhere!
