Features & Benefits

These kettlebells have oversized, powder coated handles which make them easier to grip and less likely to drop. The paint process also means you have more control when you transfer the weight from hand to hand. Color coded so that you know easily which size kettlebell to grab.

Kettlebell exercises are touted as the number one way to burn fat than with the high repetition of swings, snatches, and clean and jerks. What makes these movements so effective is that they work the body as one piece and that means seriously hard work. High rep snatches work more muscle groups than sprinting and will build strength in the lower back, shoulders, and hip flexors.

More Info

Unlike many other forms of cardio, kettlebell training is HARD.  Using kettlebells for cardio does not have a gender bias like step aerobics, spinning, and other "body shaping" forms of cardio do.  One way to take the benefits of ballistic kettlebell exercises up a big notch is to combine them with aerobic activities such as jogging or moderate jump roping.
