When I first introduce kettlebells to my clients they are often terrified and don’t know what to expect. I tell them kettlebells are one of the most effective ways to build strength, endurance and cardiovascular fitness because of their unique shape.
As the center of gravity in a kettlebell is below the handle, it requires more stabilization, so it engages your arm, leg, shoulder, back and abdominal muscles. The pull on your muscles makes them stronger, while the additional forces on the joints and bones puts pressure on the bones, in turn strengthening them and stimulating new bone cell growth, according to research.
