Kettlebells are a Russian creation that look like a cannonball with a handle. They are made from cast iron. The handle of the Kettlebell allows it to be easily lifted from the ground and manouvered through technical exercises.

There are a range of exercises that utilize the Kettlebell and one of the most dynamic and effective exercises is the Kettlebell Swing. The Kettlebell Swing is a compound exercise that works the whole body with an emphasis on the quads, gluets, hamstrings and core.

Of course as with most exercises there is a progression from a beginner technique to a more technical technique which will challenge even the more experienced exerciser.

At New Level Personal Training we incorporate Kettlebells into our workout if relevant to the clients goals as it is a great way to add some variety into sessions. As most Kettlebell exercises are multi-joint and multi-muscle (compound) we can achieve effective efficient workouts in minimal time!
