5. Improved Joint Stability

In order to stabilise your joints and keep your body tip top, kettlebells should be a part of your routine. Sarah Matelart, Spin, pump, TRX, HIIT instructor and personal trainer at ONE says: "Force production correlates directly to force control. The more stable joints are, the more force it will allow the body to produce."

The bending and stretching repetition exercises mean that kettlebells help to build a strong core, which means less slouching over your desk and more elegant posture. Not only that, but according to Sarah, " A strong core ensures proper force transfer through the body." which means the stronger your core becomes, the better your workout.

7. Affordability

Investing in kettlebells won’t break the bank, which means that you can outfit your home and create your own personal gym without setting yourself back too much. Since they are made of steel or cast iron, they will also never have to be replaced.
