What Is It
-Kettlebells are like a cannonball with a handle that you can swing, press, and do all different kinds of movements.
-Kettlebell training in the U.S. was popularized by Pavel Tsatsouline who brought it over from Russia where kettlebells became a strength and conditioning tool.
-There's primarily two types of kettlebell training. You have hard style which maximizes strength and power and Kettlebell Sport, which is more focused more on endurance.
