Apparently kettlebells are a "new fitness phenomenon", but Jeremy Thiel, co-founder of CrossFit Central, has been working out with them for years. I'm trying out my first class tomorrow night--I'll let you know how it goes!
Kettlebells date back to 18th century Russia and look like cannonballs with handles. Made of cast iron, they come in a variety of weights. With continued practice, a person can see improved strength, flexibility, balance, and muscle tone. I've used kettlebells in my CrossFit classes, but this will be my first class devoted solely to kettlebells. Can't wait!
