Narrator:

These are the staples of most American gyms. But now there's a new kid on the block.

Angela Sundberg, M.S.:

The kettlebell is basically a cannonball with a handle.

Narrator:

Kettlebells were originally used by the Russians to increase strength and endurance. Now, American gyms are embracing the cast iron weights.

Angela Sundberg, M.S.:

You have one piece of equipment you can use anywhere, take anywhere and it's virtually indestructible. For fat loss you probably can't beat it.

Narrator:

Rachel Sahlman and Jim Montague have been taking kettlebell classes for more than two years. They give the bells a ringing endorsement.

Rachel Sahlman:

Probably one of the best core workouts you could ever get.

Jim Montague:

I got like the best workout of all the workouts I've ever done.

Narrator:

Kettlebells weigh from four to 106 pounds. What makes them so popular is the all around fitness you get in such a short amount of time.

Angela Sundberg, M.S.:

You can spend two hours a week using kettlebells, maybe 15, 20 minutes a day and get the same benefits if you were running four or five hours.

Narrator:

Angela says you work up a sweat by swinging the kettlebell up and down and into various positions. These movements teach you to use your body more efficiently.

Angela Sundberg, M.S.:

Lots of people have told me that after doing kettlebells for a while, their shoulder and back pain has been eliminated.

Narrator:

For Jim and Rachel the benefits don't stop there. Jim says at 53, he's back at his high school weight.

Jim Montague:

I just feel like I'm more physically fit than people my age.

Narrator:

It's an iron clad way to get you into the shape you've always dreamed of. For WebMD, I'm Damon Meharg.
