Quality Kettlebell
A discussion about a quality kettlebell can raise questions concerning how much difference there could possibly be between brands. The answer is that like any other product, you get what you pay for in terms of quality. There are cheap kettlebells on the market that don’t handle the rough workout they get during a training drill. You need to buy a kettlebell that has been subjected to quality control inspections.
Kettlebells are designed slightly differently between brands. Some bells have the standard issue size for the weight, while others have varied the size through shape. The kettlebell is designed to be slightly off-center so that the gravitational pull is increased when being held or swung. So you want your kettlebell to give you the same benefits that the original Russian kettlebell would provide. Don’t buy a cheap bell that skimps on quality through poor design.
Also, a quality kettlebell will have a handle that is easy to grip and to keep a grip on. When swinging a kettlebell, it could be a real disaster if you lose your grip and control of the bell. Some kettlebells have handles that are slightly thicker than others. If you need the extra grip then thicker handles can be useful, but don’t buy a kettlebell with a handle that is not comfortable. Kettlebell handles now come in a variety of materials also. You should buy only bells with iron or steel handles. Plastic grips are not durable. In response to the exercise rage and greater interest in kettlebell training, lighter kettlebells are sold with plastic handles. Cheap handles and unstable weights greatly reduce the effectiveness of the training and the kettlebell handle will not last for any length of time.
In addition, there is one issue concerning handles. Make sure that if the handle is covered with anything, it is not slick material making the bell hard to hang on to during exercises. A quality kettlebell will have the right amount of roughness making it easy to control.
A quality kettlebell has a steel core that is surrounded by an iron ball. Most have an epoxy coating. Good construction includes steel handles that extend into the kettlebell core.
When you shop for a quality kettlebell, keep in mind it is better to buy a matched set. Even if you begin your training program with one weight, it won’t take long before you are using two bells. If you buy a set, then your weights will be made by the same manufacturer which means the design will be identical. This can be important as you become more skilled and begin working on the finer points of technique to build muscle power.
You can order a quality kettlebell, or set of kettlebells, online. If you can afford it, you should purchase several sets in progressive weight sizes. As you get stronger, the increased weights will be available. You can always sell your lighter weights to a new beginner. Online catalogues give complete prices and shipping rates for different size weights. If you have any questions, call a company representative and ask about the design of the bells. It is best to understand ahead of time what you are buying. Once you decide to begin kettlebell training, it will be tempting to hurry the process. Take your time and choose a quality kettlebell.
