There's a new training method and it's rapidly catching on worldwide, it's called Kettlebell training. In reality kettlebell training is an age-old Russian sport as the Kettlebell, or girya, originated in Russia and can be traced as far back as the early 1700s. It's a cast iron weight that has been described as looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle.
The beauty of the kettlebell is that it can be done anywhere, indoors or outside. No need to subscribe to a costly gym membership, no need for special clothing and no need for a partner. The only item necessary is the kettlebell.
Kettlebells come in a variety of weights and depending on whether you're a beginner or a strongman used to weight training you can find a kettlebell to suit. They are available in many colors and are generally imprinted with the specific weight. This is particularly useful if you want to change weights mid training. Nobody wants to pick up the wrong weight by mistake and suffer an injury. Common sizes of kettlebells are roughly 18 pounds, 26, 35, 53, 70 and 88.
