The great thing about kettlebells is that they combine strength and cardio in one fluid moment. Plus, due to their unusual shape, you actually have shift your center of gravity when using them, engaging more muscles during your workout in the process. According to Aaptiv Trainer Kenta Seki, “Kettlebell exercises combine strength, cardio, core, and mobility, making it a well-rounded workout. Plus, many of the movements performed with kettlebells incorporate many muscle groups at once, leading to a higher calorie burn than many other forms of exercise.” Plus, he adds, they can be really fun to use!
