Russian Kettlebells
The ultimate tool for strength training, Kettlebells were first used as agricultural counterweights in 19th century Russian farmers’ markets - picture a bowling ball with a handle attached.  Evolving from strongman demonstrations to a national sport, Kettlebells remained hidden behind the Iron Curtain, enabling the Russian athletes of the Cold War to dominate international competition. Here in the U.S. for going on fifteen years now, Kettlebells offer a fun way to stay fit. It is the awkward weight distribution of the Kettlebell that makes it such a unique aid in developing functional strength and motor skill development.
