Three Solid Reasons You Should Invest in a Kettlebell!

The Kettlebell - What Should You Look For Before Making Your Kettlebell Purchase?
I get many questions about kettlebells on a day to day basis. I guess I'm making a little noise with teaching people about the benefits of training with this ancient device. I will address some of these questions in this article. Please permit yourself to read on and learn exactly what you need to know before getting your own kettlebell.
Question: I have seen those adjustable kettlebells on TV and was wondering if I should get one of those so I have the choice of multiple resistances, is this a good choice for me?
Answer: I know that there are several types of adjustable kettlebells on the market, however as a professional I personally wouldn't feel comfortable executing some of the more basic lifts with the kettlebell such as swings and snatches with the risk of adjustable parts flying off through the air. You also run the risk of losing parts that have the potential to come apart. This is why nothing beats the cast-iron bell.
Question: I have seen other smaller weight bells in stores such as Target and Wal-Mart, are they ok to use?
Answer: I have seen bells in other stores too and they vary in the type of material they are made of. Most all of them also max out at about 44 or 45 lbs as well, and this is as heavy as you are going to get in one of these places. I have also noticed that some of them are made of less durable material and will charge you close to the same amount of money, so if you are going to invest why take the risk of paying the same for something that may or may not be as durable as the traditional cast-iron mold? You also have total freedom in purchasing a bell of every possible weight ranging from 4kg's all the way to 48kg's with the cast-iron type.
Question: What weight should I start with when purchasing a kettlebell?
Answer: These are my recommendations for you when purchasing your first kettlebell:
Beginning Kettlebell Weight
To Start!
For Women:
The Beginner-12kg (26.4 lbs)
The Above Average Strong & Active Lady-16kg (35.2 lbs)
The Greek Goddess Strong Lady-20kg (44lbs)
For Men:

The Above Average Strong & Active Guy-20kg (44 lbs)
The Greek God Strong Guy-24kg (53 lbs)

The Power of the Kettlebell - A Description of This Awesome Strength and Conditioning Device!
You may have already heard about the infamous strength training device called the kettlebell. However, as much as I use this tool and teach people I am amazed at how many people are oblivious as to what this strength training tool actually is. I work very hard to break down false barriers about exercise and fitness and the kettlebell is an awesome tool that I love to use to help me do this outside of just being a hand held weight.
If you have not seen this particular device of fat destruction and muscle construction, as I like to describe it, then it basically resembles an iron cannonball with a handle attached to it. The very design is unique because no matter how you hold the bell it is always pulling away from your center of gravity. You constantly have to wrestle with this iron ball just to keep it near your body. This act of fighting against the pull away is what makes this device so special. I also tell people that it is a fantastic tool that forces us to utilize nearly every muscle in our body to stabilize and move the weight. The type of artistic and dynamic movement that goes into lifting this weight is highly beneficial for us and really gives us a crash course in the true function and mechanical capability of our bodies. Nothing that you will ever do will compare to working out with the kettlebell. It will undoubtedly take your workouts and strength to all new heights!
So if you want to know more about this gruesome device then I can help you out. There are plenty more free articles that I have written for you to access right here. Start learning to train with this powerful hand held gym right now!
