Factory Weights Cast-Iron Kettlebell, Black, 15kg

Product Information

They’re designed to hold chalk well and support your gripwhile also letting you choose weights at a glance with their color-coded handles. These are especially useful if you don’t have a dedicated gym space and you need to be careful not to hurt your house. At 4kg, we'd suggest using as a warm-up weight or a starting point if you're learning about strength training for beginners. The larger diameter handles (35mm) are good for distributing the pressure across a larger area, and may help prevent skin tears or wrist discomfort. People who would prefer a rounded handle might not appreciate the wide, flat handle that these bells have.

You can also sprinkle some of these trainer-favorite kettlebell exercises for women into your workouts two to three times a week in lieu of doing a full-body kettlebell workout as prescribed below. An alternative to the cast iron option below, this neoprene covered kettlebell is smoother on your hands. We like that the bottom of the weights has a protective rubber coating for your floors, which also prevents it from moving around or sliding. Our top pick for adjustable kettlebells has the durability and sizing of a traditional kettlebell, but can be tweaked to be various different weights.These moves are great for a beginner kettlebell workout when done with lighter weights at a slower pace.

It’s not a “soft” coating in that it won’t compress easily when gripped or held, but it’s a much more forgiving surface than standard iron or steel – especially when setting the bell down on floors. They’re more versatile than a dumbbell and easier to maneuver than a barbell, making them a uniquely useful piece of equipment. Start in a squat position with a kettlebell in each hand, arms extended toward the floor between feet, palms facing away from the body. These are more costly than non-coated KBs and urethane is one of the more expensive materials, though it does hold up very well to wear and tear.

These kettlebells were designed to hold chalk well with their textured powder coating, and that’s exactly what you need as a CrossFitter. This will then enable you to do a full range of kettlebell exercises such as swings, lunges or Russian twists. Repeatedly putting down (or dropping) your kettlebells can do quite a bit of damage to your floors, so it’s always best to invest in a gym mat.

The good news is that lifting with kettlebells can fulfill a wide variety of your training goals with a relatively small repertoire of moves. When choosing the “best” kettlebell overall, we consider a series of factors that equate to a utilitarian kettlebell.

Plus, their wide, flat handles mean you can adjust your grip as needed to support everything from two-handed swings and cleans to overhead lunges. You’ll get that premium feeling from these kettlebells because their handles aren’t painted, taped, and re-painted throughout the construction process — which can lead to sharp, pointy edges along the sides of the bell’s horns.
