What should I look for when buying a kettlebell?

First of all, make sure the kettlebell is smooth all over, including and ESPECIALLY the inside of the handle – the last thing you want to do is cut or tear your hand when trying to exercise. Speaking of handles, it is important to get a kettlebell with a handle large enough to fit BOTH hands on it – many times, women will try and find the lightest kettlebell available, only to end up with something that can’t used properly and which ends up becoming an adorable little paperweight or doorstop. For this reason, the kettlebells sold by Dragon Door and Muscle Driver USA offer a particular advantage – they make the handles correctly. Of course, if you are unsure, locating an RKC certified instructor can really be the right answer – not only will they have kettlebells for you to try out, they will be able to instruct you how to lift and swing them properly.
