Hopefully everyone’s New Year’s Resolutions are still going well! Today I want to chat about a piece of gym equipment that I think many people are a little bit intimidated by! The Kettlebell; a kettlebell is a type of free weight that is round with a flat bottom and a handle. (I think it looks like cannonball with a handle) The kettlebell is known to increase balance, coordination, power, and core strength. Kettlebell’s can be used to target your major muscle groups as well as your stabilizing muscles which allows you to complete a full body workout in a short amount of time.

Now, I am sure you’re wondering who would benefit from training with a kettlebell? The quick answer is EVERYONE! Kettlebells do have a little bit of a learning curve due to their shape and the fact that they can be held in many different ways. The best way to become more comfortable with a kettlebell is to try a strength exercises you are comfortable doing with a dumbbell but drop the weight by about half. As always one of our certified personal trainers would love to create a kettlebell workout designed just for you and your health and wellness goals!
