Kettlebell Training 101: Benefits & Top Exercises
Here's an overview of kettlebell training so you can see if this is something you would like to do. I'll share with you the benefits, considerations, top exercises, and how to get started.
What Is It
-Kettlebells are like a cannonball with a handle that you can swing, press, and do all different kinds of movements.
-Kettlebell training in the U.S. was popularized by Pavel Tsatsouline who brought it over from Russia where kettlebells became a strength and conditioning tool.
-There's primarily two types of kettlebell training. You have hard style which maximizes strength and power and Kettlebell Sport, which is more focused more on endurance.
3 Benefits
1. Helps build full body functional strength and conditioning
2. Very efficient
3. You've got a full gym with a few kettlebells
3 Considerations
1. It can take a lot of time to learn. It's like learning a new sport, a completely new skill. And it really should be learned with professional instruction.

3. There's a greater risk of injury swinging a weight around, especially if you haven't had instruction.

I've practiced TGU for a while and I still do not see its benefits. I've decided to drop it from my workout program and I have not missed it since then. The other nine exercises are great. Cheers.
Great video. Very informative and concise. Many thanks!
poor technique during execution of movements, feels like the guy copied the common exercises, mentioned Pavel and that's it….nope one has to try more…
As someone who rode the couch for years and then decided to get in shape exclusively with kettlebells, the biggest piece of advice I can give is to start with light weights! I'm a grown man and I started with one 20 lb KB and it kicked my butt for months. Fast forward 5-6 years and I can swing a 62lb KB for reps. KB's are a marathon, not a sprint. Take the time to learn proper technique and mechanics and increase in weight will just come naturally.
The two times in my life that I hired a "fitness professional" they pushed me to the point of injury…I bought Pavel's book, I think I'll take it from here.
