Kettlebells have been used for centuries in Russia. Pavel Tsatsouline, a former Russian special forces trainer, brought kettlebell training to America in year 2000 and it’s now being embraced across the country by top fitness trainers, competitive athletes and ordinary folks, like myself,  who want results and are willing to work hard to get them.

The basic kettlebell exercise is the swing, a full-body workout you can learn and be doing in your first ten minutes. Master trainer and Brazilian Jujitsu World Champion Steve Maxwell has said that "the perfect kettlebell swing is superior to 99% of all the sophisticated strength and conditioning programs." I have been working with kettlebells now for the past 2 weeks and I am here to tell you that it’s a very effective way of burning calories, building strength and maintaining muscle mass.  If you haven’t tried it yet, I think you should…. IT WORKS!!
