Home Made Kettlebell

Kettlebells are a great tool, but they are also VERY expensive and the weight is fixed and cannot be altered. Here is my version of a home made kettlebell.

  • When something works you don't need a long list of why it is good for you, here are my top three reasons for using kettlebells in my workout:

1. Full body workout
Kettlebells work out your entire body. Kettlebells are especially great for your legs and hips. You can do many different workouts with the home made kettlebell, such as the basic swing or utilizing it for dead lifts.

2. Fast Twitchin'
Kettlebells utilize explosive movements which work your fast twitch muscles. The best exercise program is one that incorporates both types of muscle fiber groups, slow and fast twitch. Building slow-twitch muscles is great for endurance, while fast twitch enables more explosive movements such as sprints, and short-fast bursts of activity, like kettlebell movements.

3. Coordination and Endurance:
Kettlebell training develops strength, coordination, endurance, and cardio capacity! Standard gym mechanisms have a standard flow and limits the range of motion. Kettlebell training gives more realistic strength building ranges of motions.
