Kettlebell Questions Answered – I Have Answered Some Questions Posed to Me Concerning the Iron Gym!

I have included a question and answer format to a few questions that people have brought to me about training with kettlebells. I have been wanting to share my responses with you to these questions because they seem to be fairly common and repetitive in nature.

1. Question: What is that?

Answer: That is a kettlebell. A kettlebell is basically an iron cannonball with a handle attached to it. Its historical roots are embedded in Russia and it is an exceptional strength and conditioning device! It is very versatile and can be used to train every muscle in your body. The benefits and gains from using this tool are mind-blowing.

2. Question: What can you do with it?

Answer: What can you not do with it? This device can be used to mimic pretty much any exercise or movement that you can conjure up between the four walls of a fully stocked weight-room. It is so dynamic that you can use it for both a strength and a conditioning device. It is a learned skill and takes a great deal of mental and physical training to tame. It is great for athletic performance, fat-loss, weight-loss, strength, and conditioning.

3. Question: Should I only train with kettlebells and nothing else?

Answer: No, as great of a fitness device as the kettlebell is for your kettlebell fitness program it is always wiser and much more beneficial to keep variety in your training program. Variety always keeps your body adapting and changing to the undo stress that you put on it. A great percentage of this can be accomplished with the bell, but you should always embrace change when it comes to your fitness and strength program.
