A Kettle bell is a iron weight which looks like a cannonball with a handle weighing between 5lbs to over 100lbs. These devices originated from Russia and have been in use in the western world over the last few years. This type of training is not a new one as it began in ancient Greece . Kettlebell workout routines are unique because they offer different type of exercises with dynamic moves targeting different fitness aspects. Kettlebell training focuses on flexibility, strength, agility, balance, endurance and cardiovascular exercises. Various individuals prefer using them because these exercises require only one equipment and is quite challenging and efficient.

consider this for a moment; what other single fitness apparatus can give you a full body workout, engaging all major and minor muscle groups in as little as 20 minutes? Add into that the fact that you burn more calories per a minute doing a kettle bell workout than any other training regime available today. And what's more you get one bad ass cardiovascular session to really put the cherry on the cake.

This training involves you holding the Kettlebell in both hands and does different swings presses and pulling motions. Some of these exercises are swings, Turkish get ups, figure 8, kettlebell high pull, overhead cross, one Arm Swing, snatch to name a few.

Aside from the benefits mentioned above, exercises are also helpful in improving the body's flexibility.
