Russian Kettlebells

What are Russian Kettlebells?

Russian Kettlebells are cast iron or steel weights that look like a cannonball with a handle. They have been used in Russian for over 300 years to build amazing strength, endurance, and flexibility. Weight range from 8 kgs (17.6 pounds) to 60 kgs (132 lbs). Most women use 8, 12 or 16 kg weights and most men use 12, 16, 24 kgs or higher.

Many examples of Russian Kettlebells exercises can be found on YouTube.
