My favorite place to post, The Good Fight. It’s always an honor and a pleasure to lead HIMs at this AO. Kettlebells are so versatile. If I could only utilize one piece of exercise equipment for the rest of my life, I would choose a kettlebell hands down. You can build strength, test your endurance, and incorporate for conditioning with only a KB. It really teaches you to know your body. You can’t manipulate a KB in motion if you aren’t in tune with you own body. Not to mention, it’s the perfect piece of equipment for scaling a workout and the perfect piece of equipment for travel! If the workout is getting too easy, just up the weight. Cousteau could have filled a two liter with the sweat from his shirt. I was proud of that. Grout out.
