We used to sell the older cast iron kettlebells where the kettlebell gets bigger in shape as it is heavier. We found out that this can pose a disadvantage as when the kettlebell shape changes, it will mean that you will need to change your technique. In the rack position, you will have to find another comfortable position due to the changing bell size.

Pro Grade Kettlebells are made to a fixed specification and are used in all international kettlebell competitions. They have the same dimensions throughout, whether 8kg or 32kg which ensures that your technique stays consistent compared to the traditional cast iron kettlebell which gets larger as it gets heavier.

The Pro Grades are made from steel (not cast iron) and will last a lifetime. They are indestructible and therefore not uncommon for kettlebells to be handed down from generation to generation. It’s fair to say that a Pro Grade kettlebell will out live all of us.

The Pro Grade handle is slimmer than with the traditional models. This prevents lateral slipping and also minimizes fatigue with high rep sets. But don’t think your grip won’t get a workout with Pro Grades - it will still get a genuine workout.

Finally, the Pro Grades have better ballistic properties due to a larger mass in the ball of the bell. In exercises like cleans and snatches the bell will rotate around your wrist more easily and more naturally. This makes it easier to assume the correct ‘rack’ and overhead lockout position. This is one reason they’re the choice of top kettlebell lifters from around the world.

The first move that all beginners must learn when starting out with Kettlebells is called the Swing. Basically you squat down and pick up a Kettlebell that is on the floor and using your hip momentum(not your arms) to swing the kettlebell up. This fundamental movement gets you prepared for more difficult moves like cleans and snatches.

It is always best when first starting out with Kettlebells to get some training and coaching from a certified instructor. Singapore Kettlebells is currently offering Kettlebell Classes for anyone who is interested in learning the basics of kettlebell training.

We strongly recommend everyone to take up a few classes as there are cases of people who injure themselves when trying to pick up kettlebells on their own. There are many personal trainers that pose as 'kettlebell gurus' on Youtube nowadays. You need to be discerning when it comes to learning through videos, there are many 'instructional videos' online that are performed with poor form and may cause more injury than benefit.

Well, only smart ones! :P Kettlebell training offers a effective way to blast off those unsightly fats, giving you a toned and athletic body.
