What is the Kettlebell

by

Although it may seem kettlebells are the latest fitness trend in gyms across the U.S., kettlebells have been around for over 350 years. Originally used by the Russians as a counterweight for measuring food sold at markets, this “cannonball with a handle” soon became a favorite training tool of the Russian Army. In the 1940s, the modern kettlebell gained even more popularity as Russia’s national sport.

Today, kettlebells are used globally as a preferred training tool for several military services, athletic teams, and celebrities worldwide.

They try to crack jokes and make fun of you because you would rather cook your meals than be eating wings or pizza. There is nothing wrong with being a healthy person.

Hard Work Pays Off

People say you have to work hard to win, well in the sport of wrestling this is definitely true. I wrestled my whole life since I was 5 years old. My father got me into the sport when I was young and I am truly grateful he did today. I had a great career winning 2 W.P.I.A.L titles and placing 2nd and 6th respectly in the state championships in Pennsylvania. I went on to wrestle at Division I Bloomsburg University. My career in wrestling ended early but I learned so much from the sport. I learned the harder you work the better you become.
