Did you know that the kettlebell comes from Russia? In 2000 a former Spetznatz instructor named Pavel Tsatsouline changed the face of Western fitness by introducing the kettlebell to America. Kettlebells were so popular in Tsarist Russia that any strongman or weightlifter from that era was known as a "girevik" or kettlebell man. Competitions to see who can swing or snatch kettlebells of substantial weight are now very popular in Russia, and the infamous 10 minute snatch test is now an integral part of the Secret Service's training regimen.
Every time you pick up the cannonball with a handle you are continuing a long tradition of ballistic endurance that is continuing to shape the world of physical fitness.
