Factory Weights Cast-Iron Kettlebell, Black, 15kg

Product Information

Competition kettlebells are the same size, regardless of weight," says Tracey. "If you're going for a lighter kettlebell, below 16kg, I would suggest a competition kettlebell as you'll be able to get the benefits of odd-object training with a centre of mass located away from your hand." Kettlebell Materials Most kettlebell workouts are modular, and you can do them for as long as you like, such as this 2-move full-body kettlebell workout. Others, like the kettlebell get-up or the kettlebell swing, are a full workout in just one move and can be done for as long as you wish.

And while the best dumbbells remain the most popular choice of home weight, kettlebells can complement dumbbell training thanks to their ability to combine resistance training with cardio, a process often called functional training. If used correctly, kettlebells can condense a lengthy gym routine into one short, sweaty swinging sesh –try this kettlebell full-body workout if you don't believe us.

Neoprene, cast-iron, and matte finishes all feature here, so it pays to know which one is suitable for your training. "Ballistic movements like cleans and snatches, when you're learning the movements, will beat up your wrists and your collarbone as you're moving the kettlebell down." To avoid these bruises, Tracey suggests, consider buying a kettlebell with a softer outer shell. The same applies for your training environment, too. "A rubber coating will stop your floor getting scratched and, if you train outside, a coated kettlebell won't get as damaged." An ideal and challenging workout for someone just getting started or even a seasoned vet looking to get a great full body warm-up before heavier training.

You may have noticed that a number of dumbbell manufacturers have started offering selectable systems that negate the need to fill your house with a spread of weights. Well, JaxJox has taken this idea one step further with its electronically-adjustable kettlebell system, which offers a spread of 5 kg-19 kg in a single, albeit slightly bulky, unit. This two kettlebell workout is for the advanced kettlebell trainee, looking to push the envelope and level up like the old game of Arcade fame. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Even today, the kettlebell is underused and undervalued by most of the gym-going community, but don't let that fool you. As MH hero Arnold Schwarzenegger says, 'The muscle doesn't see what you're holding in your hands.' Unlike dumbbells, kettlebells can take a little time to get used to. It's definitely worth seeking advice at your gym on the correct form to avoid injury. Once mastered, however, the kettlebell will become a regular staple in your fitness regime. As in the case with most one-size-fits-all solutions, the Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell is trying to appeal to all whilst failing to please the individuals; it is definitely more space-saving than having six different kettlebells laying around in your one-bed flat, but it is also rather bulky, making it a bit less convenient to work out with doing one-handed moves. Sounds a bit far-fetched? The American Council on Exercise has researched kettlebells and proved that regular kettlebell users benefit from strength gains and enjoy an increase in aerobic capacity, dynamic balance, and, best of all, a dramatic increase in core strength. Need some more inspiration to get started? Here are three reasons you should start kettlebell workouts. Those venturing out into the world of kettlebells for the first time should go easy on the weight, as the gruelling sessions will prove impossible if you can't lift the bloody thing above your head. That said, opting for a puny 2kg kettlebell could mean you're not facing enough resistance to thoroughly challenge the muscle. If you can, head to a gym or local fitness store and try out a few weights until one feels right.
