While kettlebell training has a long history, its absence and recent rediscovery within the fitness world have lead many to believe that this type of training is new and innovative. However, this idea is far from accurate, as kettlebell train has been around for centuries. In fact, these bell-shaped objects were commonplace in gyms and training locations as far back as the ancient Greeks. There are still many images remaining depicting old time strongmen using kettlebells as a strength tool.
