Kettlebells look intimidating and dangerous…are they?
A. Driving a car is dangerous if you don’t pay attention to what you’re doing. The truth is, Kettlebell training is as safe as any other form of training and, in our opinion, is a safer option than exercise machines…so long as safety is part of your program and not secondary to it. Exercise machines follow a predetermined path that may not be appropriate for your body’s natural ranges of motion thus increasing your risk of injury. Kettlebells, on the other hand, follow the range of motion most appropriate to you accounting for differences in individual body types and lifting mechanics. But, we cannot stress the importance of safety enough and following a logical training progression.
