What is the best piece of equipment?

27 November 2009 by Ben Howarth

I often get asked what is the best piece of exercise equipment on the market that will meet my fitness and weightloss needs?  Well, that really is the millionaire dollar question and is open for debate but I argue the kettlebell leads the way at present. Used by the Russian military and Russian athletes during their fitness preparations, the use of the kettlebell can be dated back to as late as 1704 and is not much to look at, resembling a cannonball with a handle.   But why use such an old piece of equipment, surely we have something better nowadays?  Well no...not in my opinion.  Let me explain.  Kettlebells are great because they are difficult to balance, use a lot of energy and use multiple muscle groups once exercising, therefore they use a lot of energy in a relatively small amount of time. 

As previously mentioned Kettlebells come in various weights ranging from as small as 2kg all the way up to 40kg that means they cater for both men and women of varying of fitness abilities.  Unlike Dumbbells they do not come in a pair which makes them easy to store and because of their versatility they provide interesting and invigorating workouts whether you want to lose weight, tone up, put on muscle, or improve your sport performances or fitness levels. 

Kettlebells have really come back into fashion over the past couple of years and I think this is positive because the more people that become aware of them the more exciting and effective their exercise routines will become.
