Why you need to train with a kettlebell

At a gym, you'll find barbells with a coat of rust, dumbbells thrown all around the room; at a newer gym you'll see smooth, coloured plates neatly racked. It is primary workout equipment and that means you need to work on your shoulder, wrist, and hip mobility before even attempting something as basic as a kettlebell swing,” says Batchu. That said, I find the grip design much better than barbells which are either too thick or too clunky to carry around,” says Lahiri, whose daily workouts now include a 24-kg kettlebell. “It is easier to store, grip, and you won’t need to keep investing in plates when you have one kettlebell,” says Lahiri. Kettlebell weights usually start at 4kgs, so if you’re wondering what weight you should use for most workouts, then Batchu suggests buying one which is slightly difficult to lift.
