You have heard me talk at nauseum about what makes a kettlebell unique.  For me, the number one advantage is it’s versatility.  The Kettlebell Military Press is one of the best examples of this.  By changing the way you hold the bell, you change it’s center of gravity and thus change the way it targets the muscle.  So from one specific lift, the Military Press, we get several different lifts by employing a kettlebell instead of a dumbell or barbell or a machine.  (don’t get me started on machines)  Check out the video below to see what I’m talking about. 

In an upcoming post, I will cover in more detail the mechanics of the press, some additional variations and a few secrets that will skyrocket your strength.

Yours in Health,

This post is meant to give you some ideas and get you pointed in the right direction as it relates to using a kettlebell.  You will obviously not master the kettlebell just by reading this post.  I would strongly suggest you seek out quality instruction either with a certified trainer or through the use of books and videos.  The best in the business is Pavel Tsatsouline.  I would suggest to you “Enter the Kettlebell“  by Pavel.  As with any fitness routine, check with your doctor first.
