Unlike dumbbells or resistance bands, the off-balance design of a kettlebell means you build better full-body balance and stability, as well as strength.
"The core has to activate to provide stability, and because the movements are fast, your heart rate increases almost immediately. Your glutes, hamstrings and back will all need to work hard, so your lower back is protected, too," says Kunal Makwana, PT and founder of KMAK Fitness in the UK and USA.
