Kettlebells have become increasingly popular in strength training over the last decade because they allow you to mimic real-life movements, making them an extremely effective form of exercise. Unlike dumbbells, where the weight is evenly distributed at both ends of the handle, a kettlebell has an asymmetrical design and an offset centre of gravity. Compensating
for the uneven load requires you to exert increased effort during the exercise, which in turn
increases your strength, mobility and stability.
In this publication, you will find all kettlebell exercises from the deadlift to the overhead snatch.
More than 100 full-colour anatomical illustrations depict not only the correct execution of each
movement, but also the muscles involved and the level of difficulty. Variations allow you to adjust the exercises
to better suit your individual needs.
Inside you will find:
illustrations of the primary and secondary muscles and connective tissues involved in the exercise
a step-by-step explanation of how to perform each exercise
recommendations for safe handling of the equipment
information on the focus of the exercise, which shows how the exercise contributes to preparation for
specific sports and physical activities
a chapter on mobility exercises that help to reset the necessary
neuromuscular patterns, improve range of motion and prepare the body for further training
Kettlebell training will add confidence and strength to your workout, develop dynamic movement and improve
your mobility.
May the power of the kettlebell be with you!
