Factory Weights Cast-Iron Kettlebell, Black, 15kg

Product Information

The weight depends on your current ability, accessibility, and strength. “​​In general, I recommend women begin with an 8 kg kettlebell, which is both light enough to challenge the shoulders and arms, yet heavy enough to improve core and lower body strength,” says Koziol. If this feels easy and/or you master the form and are comfortable in the movement, try going up in weight by 2 to 4 kg. If you’re experienced, start with a 14 to 15 kg kettlebell, and go up from there. The logo and weight information is recessed instead of stamped and large enough to see clearly, giving a more high-end feel as well. We really like that the powder coat is grippy enough to support both chalked and bare-handed training, even when we were sweating like crazy (about two minutes into the workout). The beauty of a kettlebell lies in its simplicity. Who would have thought that a ball of cast iron with a single handle could provide so much benefit? You can swing and snatch a kettlebell for more power, raise and rotate a lighter bell for shoulder health, and use them instead of dumbbells for a new training stimulus. That’s why over the past decade, kettlebells have seen a resurgence in popularity with many health and fitness enthusiasts — from weekend warriors to athletes, and everyone in between. So you’re building a home gym. Congrats on investing in your health, time, and, if you shop smart, finances. We consider kettlebells a home gym essentialfor their small footprint and versatility. You utilize this oddly shaped tool as a part of your existing routine, swapping it for dumbbells for movements like curls and lateral raises.

Since these are made from cast iron, they may not be as forgiving on your floors as other materials like rubber coated bells. When you’re considering what kettlebell weight to buy , you need to balance your goals against your “ limiting lifting factor .” What’s the exercise you know you want to do with your kettlebell that you will need the lightest weight for? It might be all well and good to spring for a 32-kilogram bell because you can do your lower body work with it (and maybe floor presses). But if you know you want to overhead press and can’t do that with 70 pounds, there’s your limiting factor. First, a quality kettlebell has a single-cast construction, as this means the kettlebell was created with one cast and isn’t pieced together with multiple types of metals. These models are more durable. You can also sprinkle some of these trainer-favorite kettlebell exercises for women into your workouts two to three times a week in lieu of doing a full-body kettlebell workout as prescribed below. The bell is in your court. Kettle weights are not only great for helping you to burn calories but they will also help you work parts of your body which are normally more difficult to target, such as the hip flexors. And as they’re based on compound movements, they’re perfect for building strength, endurance and muscle. 12kg Kettle bells

These kettlebells are sold as singles, which isn’t ideal for kettlebell sport athletes or CrossFitters who want to practice bilateral movements. Rise onto the left palm, lift hips off floor, and slide left leg behind body until kneeling on left knee with shin parallel to top of mat. Great kettlebells for functional fitness and CrossFit®-style workouts need one key trait — and that’s durability.

Start in a squat position with a kettlebell in each hand, arms extended toward the floor between feet, palms facing away from the body.

Squeeze shoulder blades together while lifting elbows toward ceiling and pulling weights up toward ribs, then reverse entire movement to return to start. That’s one rep.

The good news is that lifting with kettlebells can fulfill a wide variety of your training goals with a relatively small repertoire of moves.

For kettlebell snatches, you’ll have to be strong, but the power and conditioning are going to win the day. Whichever moves you choose, you pretty much can’t go wrong training your upper body with kettlebells — as long as you keep your form dialed in. In addition to the upper body-focused exercises above, try these six moves: We like that these kettlebells are traditionally shaped, so anyone with past kettlebell experience won’t have an issue acclimating to a unique shape or design. As mentioned, the combination of a cast-iron foundation and powder coat enhances the durability of this product for a kettlebell that should last you a while (assuming you don’t go out of your way to abuse it). Our team likes the color-coded system, which associates a colored ring with a specific weight so you can more easily find the specific kettlebell you’re looking for if you buy more than one. The non-competition weight kettlebells in this lineup (the four, six, eight, and 34 to 46kg bells) don’t meet international standards, though they are very close.

Kettlebell Kings Powder Coat handle diameter increases along with the bell’s weight, going as low as 29mm and as high as 41mm for their 68-kilogram kettlebell. That’s quite a range, but we really like the grip even on the larger handles. The powder coat finish on his bell is excellent and provides a texture that both non-chalked or chalked hands will have little issue gripping. Color-coded handles identify a bell’s weight at a glance so you can help your participants select weights easily without going to read every one.
