Kettlebells are cast iron weights that look similar to a shotput (or cannon ball) with a handle. Modern kettlebells can be rubber coated, and have adjustable weight settings.

Kettlebells have an advantage over dumbells, because the weight is distributed further from the hand, allowing swinging motions not available with dumbells. More muscle groups are utilized with this swinging motion, so results are said to be quicker and more effective than traditional dumbells. Balancing of the kettlebells also works out the smaller muscles in the process.

Remember to go start with manageable weight – easy does it.
