Kettlebells are a fantastic low impact cardio and strength workout all in one. At the end of a KB workout, you'll be sweaty like you went for a killer run and feel like you just rocked the best full body strength workout.
Most kettlebell exercises are based off the swing, shown above. Once you master the swing, the exercises are endless.
Technique is the most important thing with KB's, so learning from a reputable certified instructor (a.k.a. KB Ninja James Beckerley) goes without saying. BDHQ offers Level 1 Intro classes every Tuesday night at 6pm. This is the perfect class to learn the basics from James and work your way up to all the other KB classes on the schedule.
