Factory Weights Cast-Iron Kettlebell, Black, 15kg

Product Information

Designed to build that He-Man physique and sword fighter dexterity, this workout is particularly punishing for the shoulders, obliques, and thighs.

As in the case with most one-size-fits-all solutions, the Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell is trying to appeal to all whilst failing to please the individuals; it is definitely more space-saving than having six different kettlebells laying around in your one-bed flat, but it is also rather bulky, making it a bit less convenient to work out with doing one-handed moves. Nothing that can't be amended with a little bit of filing or patching up, though! And for the price, these imperfections are not only acceptable but also somewhat expected. Otherwise, you would keep on thinking, where is the catch? There is none: these are just decent kettlebells for a decent price. End of story.

You may have noticed that a number of dumbbell manufacturers have started offering selectable systems that negate the need to fill your house with a spread of weights. Well, JaxJox has taken this idea one step further with its electronically-adjustable kettlebell system, which offers a spread of 5 kg-19 kg in a single, albeit slightly bulky, unit. Compact, adaptable and versatile, the kettlebell is an ideal bit of kit for the home workout warrior. Sounds a bit far-fetched? The American Council on Exercise has researched kettlebells and proved that regular kettlebell users benefit from strength gains and enjoy an increase in aerobic capacity, dynamic balance, and, best of all, a dramatic increase in core strength. Need some more inspiration to get started? Here are three reasons you should start kettlebell workouts.
