Kettlebell health benefits

According to American Council on exercise in 20 minutes a kettlebell workout delivers more fat burning and body toning benefits than doing 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes of traditional weight training.
A kettlebell is a flat-bottomed cast iron ball with a handle. It was used in the Russian military for strength and conditioning. The giyra, Russian for kettlebell, ranges from 4 kg, to competition style weight (64 kg). A kettlebell differs from a dumbbell, barbell, or medicine ball in that the centre of mass is away from the handle, which may require more strength and coordination, as well as increased muscle recruitment during particular movements. Mukul Nagpaul, owner, PMF Training elaborates.

Key points before using kettlebell
As with any training method, proper form and technique must be mastered to avoid injury.
