Why Kettlebell Training Is Awesome
Published 12 Jul 2017

With its displaced centre of mass, the Kettlebell will allow your joints experience dynamic instability and a greater range of movement. It is also a ballistic training tool, making the body produce, redirect and resist force. Kettlebell training is a functional training in its purest form. All exercises require full body integration and core stabilisation with a major emphasis on the posterior chain, primarily the hamstrings, glutes, spinal erectors, and trapezius muscles, making it a valuable tool in the fight to lessen the incidence of back pain.
