I worked out for 30+ years with free weights and machines. How many triceps kickbacks can one person do? I found that kettlebells give one a whole new perspective on fitness training. Kettlebell training provides real-life functional strength, balance, flexibility and mobility, especially which men and women of a "more mature" age need in order to prevent injury, gain endurance and maintain strength to keep up with their grandkids! Of course men and women of all ages need these physical attributes. Kettlebells are a superior way to train for these goals, no matter what age you are.
The kettlebell -- an entire gym in the palm of your hand. Kettlebells are terrific tools for building both strength and endurance. A new appreciation of what fitness really means.
