Kettlebell - Cast Iron Weights | Adjustable Design For Strength, Endurance, Agility, And Balance

The kettlebell or girya (Russian: ,N N ) is a cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle. The kettlebell has become a popular exercise tool in the United States due largely to the efforts of Pavel Tsatsouline, a strength and flexibility coach, and also by Kettlebell Sport world champion and world record holder Valery Fedorenko.

Kettlebell workouts are intended to increase strength, endurance, agility and balance, challenging both the muscular and cardiovascular system with dynamic, total-body movements.[citation needed]
