What Weight Kettlebell Should You Buy?

If you’re thinking of buying a kettlebell soon, first let me say congratulations! My brain goes two directions whenever someone asks me, “What size kettlebell should I buy?” One direction is excitement because kettlebells open up a whole new world of movement possibilities and dynamics, making certain lifts more accessible to people with limited mobility.

In that video I talk about several factors that can help you decide what weight of kettlebell would be safe to buy. It’s important that you don’t purchase a kettlebell that weighs too much, or you could quickly injure yourself before you have time to build the strength to match that weight. It’s also crucial to choose a weight that pushes you to the point of getting stronger, but – again – without injury. There’s a fine line here, and I hope you watch the video to learn the smartest way to select a safe weight of kettlebell to use in your home fitness workouts.
