For hundreds of years kettlebells built stronger, more powerful bodies by combining strength training with ballistic movements. Our kettlebells range in size from 5 lbs all the way up to 60 lbs, giving everyone the opportunity to cater to their specific physical needs and ability levels.
The benefits of cast-iron weights with a handle are not known to everyone. Kettlebells may look like incomprehensible or useless sports tools, but combining strength training with ballistic exercises, they recruit various muscles and makes basic movements more beneficial.
As a rule, kettlebells range in sizes from 5 lbs to 60 lbs, so you can choose rational kettlebell size depending on individual body strength, experience lifting weights, gender, and age. Usually, one kettlebell for training is enough, but a wide selection of kettlebells allows testing a range of exercises and challenge yourself. However, picking the right kettlebell weight to prevent injuries and physically improve body is something everyone should consider. Men tend to start with a kettlebell that is too heavy, while on the contrary, women choose too light.
If the workout is based on strengthening power and presses, deadlifts or Turkish get-ups are the way to go. For women, it is recommended to use 13lbs - 26lbs ranged kettlebells, men may use a range between 18lbs and 44lbs weight.
For kettlebell swings, snatches and cleans recommended kettlebell size ranges from 18 lbs to 53lbs (between 35lbs and 53lbs for men, 18lbs -35lbs for women). Swings activate each group of body muscles, including abs, hamstrings, hips, quads, glutes, lats, pecs, etc. These kinds of exercises target the posterior chain weakened by a sedentary lifestyle.
Exercises with weight balls are valuable for seniors because it helps to build balance and improve cardiovascular fitness. Of course, with an appropriate weight.
In general, kettlebells have got an unbalanced shape, and the center of mass is located at the bottom of the ball, that’s why kettlebells are a little harder to lift, and body muscles have to stabilize their weight. Such a weighting ball design and instability are set to simulate everyday life and mimic lifting various objects. Be aware that quality kettlebells do not have sharp ridges or rough spots, their handle must be smooth, curved, and may be gripped anywhere on the handle.
Just a daily reminder. Research has revealed that kettlebell exercises may count as cardio – they can burn up to 20 calories per minute depending on workout intensity. It is up to you what kind of sports you will choose to practice.
