Kettlebells are basically giant metal balls with a handle. They go back to Eastern Europe, the word girya (kettlebell) actually occurs in a Russian disciple around 1704 (1). In fact, the popularity of kettlebells in the West is largely attributed to Russian emigrant Valery Fedorenko, a world champion in kettlebell sport (Girevoy Sport), and Pavel Tsatsouline, a former sports training instructor and master of the sport of Soviet specialists, the Hardstyle Russian Kettlebell Certification ( RKC) and now heads StrongFirst.
The extent of kettlebell's popularity is more of a 21st century phenomenon, thanks in part to the popularity of its use in CrossFit and the many cases that it is used by online trainers on social media, but it still remains a niche activity. This may be due to the technical difficulty of performing kettlebell movements correctly, in particular the mastery of the 6 kettlebell basics: swinging, swinging in, cleaning, getting up Turkish, snapping and pressing.
So let's focus on 5 kettlebell exercises that should be fairly easy to master, can be quite challenging, and are great moves in your exercise toolkit. In some places, carpets, kettlebells and flat screens are among the great shopping spree of the pandemic. We may continue to see an increase in demand for kettlebell that will survive the pandemic as more and more people choose to exercise alone and at home.
