The Benefits of Kettlebells:
Combines Cardio and Strength Training:
Kettlebells are a great way to help raise your heart rate. When swinging a heavy piece of equipment, it takes not only strength but muscular endurance. It doesn't take long for an exercise like these to increase your heart rate.
Increased Fat Loss:
