What is a Kettlebell Good For?

Since Kettlebells are officially making their way into every gym (and maybe even home) around the globe, I want to set the record straight on what they are good for…

You may think they are just a funny looking dumbbell, but I can assure you that although they may look strange, it's for good reason.

Unlike a dumbbell they are only weighted on one side which makes them unique to almost every other piece of equipment in your gym. The one weighted side makes it more awkward to use, and as a result it can provide you with benefits you really can't get anywhere else.

Here's what some of the benefits look like:

1. Greater core engagement through swinging movements
2. Ability to use your natural momentum in a good way
3. Every exercise becomes a full body effort
4. Burns a lot of calories through compound movements
5. One kettlebell can be used for your whole workout

The possibilities are really endless, but the great thing is all kettlebell movements are really based around creating a strong core and powerful and stable shoulders.

Tomorrow, I'm going to show you a great fitness kettlebell video demonstrating 3 exercises you can do at home or in the gym. This is a can't miss!
