Kettlebell Workouts
Something good may have come out of Soviet-era Russia: kettlebells. You may have seen them at the gym, canon-ball shaped weights that have a handle. They’ve been amassing in gyms lately as the fitness craze du jour and I decided to investigate on my own.
Kettlebells, oddly enough, were invented to measure crops in the 1700s. Farmers using them seemed to burgeon in strength. They got cocky and devoted whole festivals to showing off their prowess with wielding these kettlebells, aka giryas. The Soviet Army caught on to the training regimen of these bucolic bodybuilders and started incorporating them into their physical training exercises. They’ve been used in Russia and Europe in competition sports since the 1940s. Kettlebells test endurance through their ballistic training that mimics farm work.
