New Addition: Kettlebell

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the lack of posts these few months!

We got another new piece of equipment for our home gym. Yes, a kettlebell!
A kettlebell may not be a piece of equipment that you will often see in a commercial gym, but it is certainly a great addition to our home gym.


There are many types of kettlebells in the market. The various types of kettlebells includes, Pro-Grade Kettlebells, Standard Kettlebells, Weight Adjustable Kettlebells and others.

From the picture above, the one that we got are the Standard Rubberised Kettlebell. In the next post, we will be writing in details on the different types of kettlebell and what each of them looks like and what is the differences between them. For this post, we will be talking abt the Standard Rubberised Kettlebell.

From the picture above, the Standard Rubberised Kettlebell has a handle covered in chrome, and the main weight of the kettlebell covered in rubber coating. The reason why we choose this instead of the pro-grade kettlebell is simply because we prefer our kettlebell to be in rubber coating so as to have a standardised balck coloured theme for our home gym equipments.

So why did we add a kettlebell to our home gym?
Reason being, we wanted to have a piece of equipment that we can perform some basic full body weight lifting after a run. We wanted to have a "Simple" crossfit style workout on one of the days of the week. We will first go for a run, then continue with kettlebell lifts and a boxing session, this will sum up our cardio day.

A basic kettlebell lift will be working our more than one muscle group at a time. In our future posts, we will also be writing on the different lifts that you can perform with a kettlebell.

After introducing all our new equipments, we will be writing on how to choose a particular equipment, what exercises can you perform with the equipment and a review of the equipment that we have in our home gym.

That being say, we still have new equipment that our home gym have added. Can you guess what is the new piece of equipment that we will be introducing?
