If kettlebells aren’t part of your workout routine, they should be and this is why.

Kettlebells are designed with a thick handle and a weight that hangs below the handle which allows you to do traditional exercises but with an extra challenge and added twist. The way that the weight hangs makes it harder to control which gives you are bigger challenge, especially for your core and grip strength. It’s easy to get a full body workout with nothing more than a kettlebell.

Here are just 13 ways to use a kettlebell but the list can go on and on. Use your imagination and be sure to add kettlebells to your fitness routine ASAP!
