“Tsatsouline, a former fitness instructor for the Soviet Special Forces, immigrated to the United States in the 1990s. He is largely responsible for popularizing the kettlebell, a piece of strength training equipment that basically looks like a round iron purse with a short strap that’s also made of iron. This book gives a simple, sophisticated, direct, and useful introduction to kettlebell training, which is an especially accessible type of strength training, especially for people who want to train at home. This whole book is built around a minimalist program of two moves, the kettlebell swing, and the get-up. The writing is witty and engaging, with serious concern for safety, conveying the fine points of proper exercise form with impeccable descriptions and lots of photos.” Read more...
