Traditional cast iron kettlebells

They can weigh as little as 5 lbs. and as much as 200 lbs.

They date back to the 1700’s when Russian strongmen used them and have been used by the Soviet Special Forces as a fitness tool for decades. 

Kettlebells are alleged to help athletes break through ruts and plateaus, and get their ‘core’ in top shape.

The kettlebell has become a popular exercise tool in the United States due largely to the efforts of strength and flexibility coach Pavel Tsatsouline and also by Girevoy Sport world champion and world record holder Valery Fedorenko.

Kettlebell workouts are intended to increase strength, endurance, agility and balance, challenging both the muscular and cardiovascular system with dynamic, total-body movements. Typically, kettlebells are used to perform fluid swinging exercises using your body’s full range of motion.

Product Description

This 8kg kettlebell features an oversized powder coated handle that provides excellent grip whilst allowing for full and fluid motion.

The base of the kettlebell is colour coded and covered with a heavy duty vinyl skin that not only looks good but also helps to protect the floor.

Product Review

This is a good quality kettlebell.

The handle is less prone to becoming sweaty and difficult to handle as a result compared to some of the standard moulded kettlebells. It is, however, oval rather than perfectly round which is comfortable and a perfect shape for a woman’s grip but slightly awkward for a larger male hand as it causes the fingers and thumb to overlap more than with the classic designs.

The layer of vinyl is surprisingly thick on the base of the kettlebell which aleviates any fears about it damaging the floor if you are using it at home.
