The kettlebell is a cast iron weight that looks like a cannon ball with a handle, ranging from 4kg to 48kg!!. It is an ancient form of training, originally employed by the Russians, but has more recently become mainstream appearing in box office movies and celebrity homes. Many Hollywood and “A list celebs” have turned to the kettlebell in order to attain the best possible shape and fitness!

Kettlebell conditioning uses compound, full body exercises. This type of training involves the whole body, developing functional qualities because one has to stabilise a weight in all 3 planes of direction at the same time, more muscles are being used simultaneously, having a great positive effect on your neuromuscular system. The repetitive explosive strength drills also target both the skeleto-muscular and cardio-vascular system. With this type of training being so metabolically demanding, it makes it unbeatable as a FAT BURNER and STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING tool.

Kettlebells also target the muscles of the posterior chain, often neglected in many training programmes. Most people are dominant at the front of the body which causes imbalances, and the risk of injury. For speed, agility, performance and efficiency posterior chain muscles must be trained in balance.
