The Comprehensive Kettlebell Training Guide Kettlebells are solid cast-iron weights. Their distinctive shape allows for a wide variety of exercises that train the whole body in strength, endurance, speed and flexibility. Unlike standard dumbbells, when training with kettlebells the centre of mass is always outside the hand, which places additional demands on the body’s stabilising muscles and strengthens them. Kettlebell training is highly functional and is regarded as one of the most effective and efficient fitness concepts of our time.

His comprehensive handbook covers every theoretical and practical aspect and offers a wealth of exercises and training programmes for every fitness level.
