Kettlebell | increase strength - endurance - agility and balance | total-body movements

The Kettlebell is a traditional Russian weight, primarily used in the Army. It became popular in the United States due to the fitness instructor Pavel Tsatsouline.
They even started a Kettlebell championship, 
Valery Fedorenko being the most popular champion along with Steve Maxwell.
The Kettlebell championship is, in my opinion, totally boring but it is probably the best tool you need for your MMA workout. Most of the MMA fighters are using the Kettlebell intensively in their training routine. It’s the best weight you can use. It will increase strength, endurance, agility and balance, challenging both the muscular and cardiovascular system with dynamic, total-body movements.
Training with Kettlebell can be harmful if not done properly. Ask advice to your trainer or get an instructional book or DVD about it. It looks easy but it’s not.
