Kettlebells: The perfect workout?

The more I practice Kettlebell lifting the more I enjoy it. I've never participated in any other form of exercise where I see so many benefits and looked forward to working harder than before.

Kettlebell skills and results carry over to other endeavors.
Kettlebell lifting allows for a greater range of motion than free-weights resulting in increased flexibility, strength and muscle control through my entire range of flexibility.
Low-Rep grinds such as the military press and upside down press have resulting in tremendous gains in shoulder,foream, lat and ab strength.
High-rep Ballistic moves such as swings and snatches have resulted in phenomenal cardio, endurance and explosiveness.
For the first time in my life I am developing lats and all from the negative portion of the Military Press-RKC style.
Through the use of one legged rows, and presses my sprained ankle has become far more resilient and core strength has gone through the roof.
My mood is consistently better, I am looking forward to each day and I can't wait to share Kettlebells with the people I meet.



One of coolest things about kettlebells is that you can train with them absolutely anywhere and anytime. Today I practiced a brief RKC workout at a nearby park. Aside from dodging dog droppings it was one of the most enjoyable workouts I can remember.
