Kettlebells

Kettlebells are a type of free weight that resemble a cannonball with a handle. They are used for a variety of exercises, particularly those involving dynamic movements, strength training, and cardiovascular conditioning.

Key Points

• Engage core muscles during exercises
• Use a firm grip on the handle
• Start with lighter weights to perfect your form
• Maintain a neutral spine
• Perform movements in a controlled manner

Common Mistakes

• Using too heavy a weight right away
• Rounding or arching the back
• Overextending the swing
• Not engaging the core
• Lifting with the arms instead of the hips in swings
