Victory Vinyl Kettlebells

Whether you are trying to build muscle, lose weight or gain stamina, kettlebells are always a viable option. Kettlebells are similar to free weights; they are handheld ball-shaped masses that come in a variety of weights and sizes. While all Kettlebells can be used in a similar fashion, knowing the difference between cast-iron and vinyl kettlebells is important when making a purchase or deciding which set to use at your local gym.

Kettlebells, or the “Russian hand weight,” have been around since the 1700s, but only recently have they gained media attention and substantial popularity within the global fitness industry. While kettlebells have been viewed as an object of pride in Russia, it wasn’t until 1998 that they began being manufactured and used in North America. Kettlebell was declared a sport in Russia in 1985, with established rules and regulations. Today, both men and women take part in the power and strength endurance sport on a global scale, both for recreation and competitively.
