Russian Kettlebells

Palance Points: 5/5

The first time I heard about these primitive but effective weights I was a bit skeptical. And frankly, I thought they were related to cowbells! But after a quick look at the web site, I knew I had to have one of my own:



This quickly turned into a major (then minor) obsession based on the books and videos of Pavel Tsatsouline, the fitness-mad Russian who popularized Kettlebells in North America and beyond. Many new callouses and muscles later, I am a devoted fan. I recommend you order the 35-pounder for starters and be prepared for a few days of soreness!
