The history of the kettlebell lies far in the past. The first known uses can be found in the circus. The kettlebell was used to demonstrate the muscular strength of men. In Russia, kettlebells are part of national pride and a symbol of strength. Russian military units, especially special units, train with these devices. Every weight room of military units in Russia is equipped with kettlebells. After the kettlebells fell into oblivion for the most part in the meantime, the resurgence of the kettlebells began in the USA at the beginning of the 21st century. Since then, the kettlebell has been used for a wide variety of workouts as an “all-rounder”. The goal of kettlebell sports is primarily to build functional strength, explosive power and stability. Since kettlebells are considered free weights, they address not only individual muscles, but entire muscle parties and thus the entire musculoskeletal system.

The traditional weight sizes were 16 kg, 24 kg and 32 kg. In order to make the sport accessible to as many people as possible, nowadays there are already kettlebells from 4 kg up to 64 kg. The kettlebell is a must for all ambitious athletes. Whether for strength building, coordination exercises, stretching or endurance training, the kettlebell is in any case an ideal and reliable companion and helps you to achieve your goals.
