Kettlebells have a long history that dates back to 18th-century Russia. Originally used by farmers who became noticeably stronger and more defined, they slowly developed into a standard piece of workout equipment. Kettlebells build strength in your core, shoulders, and legs while also allowing you a stronger grip for heavier weights.

Kettlebells are geared toward full-body exercise. Kettlebell workouts tend to utilize compound movements, which incorporate multiple muscle groups at once. This gives you twice the workout in half the time!
