A kettlebell is typically a round metal weight with a handle attached to it. Traditionally used for ballistic weight training they are ideal for those that want a workout that combines strength and endurance training. The traditional kettlebell is of a fixed weight but modern innovations have led to the manufacture of plate loadable replacements that replicate the feel of the kettlebell but allow for more flexible loading options.
The kettlebell or girya (Russian: гиревой) is a traditional Russian cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle. A favorite tool of the strongmen of old, the kettlebell has enjoyed a revival of late due largely to the efforts of strength and flexibility coach Pavel Tsatsouline, with many companies now following suit, beginning to produce their own brands of kettlebells and kettlebell exercise programs.
