The kettlebell is a spherical dumbbell or free weight with a flat base and an arced grip. It reminds you of a cannonball with a handle or a teapot without the spout, called a “kettlebell.” It is usually made of steel or cast iron.
How Kettlebell Is Different From A Dumbbell
The spherical mass of a kettlebell extends far beyond the hand, which makes it different from a dumbbell. Kettlebells can be swung, tossed, juggled, pushed, held, controlled, and moved in various ways. They are small and may be used in various sports and bodybuilding activities. The kettlebell is surely a versatile and fun addition to your workout program, and it can be placed anywhere and used indoors or out.
