What is a Kettlebell?
The kettlebell or girya (Russian: гиря) is a cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle, used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. Invented in Russia and used for decades by strongmen, kettlebells offer users a wider range of motion than dumbbells that sit in the palm of the hand, and they also better simulate the way we carry things in our daily lives. Kettlebell training is accessible and practical for all. From the elite athlete to those looking to discover fitness for the first time, and everyone in between. It truly TRANSFORMS your body. All can benefit.
What is so special about the Kettlebell?Well
this cannon ball with a handle has an offset center of balance and
forces you to use the much neglected stabilizer muscles when performing
the exercises. The result is that it challenges your body in a way that
regular weights can not.Read what people are saying... Does it seem intimidating? Think you’re too old? Too weak? Don’t worry — properly performed, kettlebell training is safe for any age, size, shape or fitness level. The Kettlebell : The Hand-held Gym  Learning

flexibility, and mobility all at the same time with a special emphasis
on CORE STRENGTH. This type of training is perfect for those looking for
‘the most out of the least’ thus maximizing workouts and this class is a
refreshing break from the normal workout routine. Kettlebells are
definitely more challenging but also extremely fun at the same time.
Kettlebells develop a lean, strong, and graceful look. You will also
become less susceptible to injuries because you are training in all
