For exercisers on a time budget, finding a whole hour for a total body work out, two to three times a week, can be a challenge. Add in warm-up, cool-down, and stretching before and after, and that time can become even longer. In gyms across the country, Kettlebells are coming to the rescue. Kettlebells cut workout times in half, provide aerobic activity, and offer significant strength and aerobic conditioning.

The History of Kettlebells

Kettlebells, or giryas, originated in Russia in the 18th century and were recognized as a superb fitness training tool. The unusual weights were introduced into the United States by Pavel Tsatsouline, a one-time physical fitness trainer for both the United States and Soviet Union forces. Today in America, the kettlebell is used in civilian and military fitness regimens.
