The History of Kettlebells in Fitness The kettlebell, a compact yet powerful tool in strength training, has a history that spans centuries. Originally used as a counterweight in markets, it has evolved into one of the most versatile and effective fitness tools in the world. From Russian strongmen to modern-day athletes, the kettlebell has remained a staple in strength, endurance, and functional training. Origins in Russia The kettlebell's roots trace back to 18th-century Russia, where it was known as a “girya.” Farmers used them as counterweights for measuring goods in markets, but over time, they realized that swinging and lifting these weights built strength and endurance. Eventually, strongmen and performers began using them in feats of strength at festivals, leading to their adoption in training regimens. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Russian athletes and military forces began using kettlebells systematically to develop functional strength, power, and agility. They became a key component of Russian physical training programs and were later incorporated into military conditioning routines. Kettlebells in Competitive Sports Kettlebell lifting evolved into a competitive sport in the Soviet Union during the 20th century, with formalized training methods and standardized weights. By 1948, kettlebell lifting—called Girevoy Sport—became the official national sport of the USSR. Competitions involved endurance-based events, where athletes would perform high repetitions of kettlebell snatches, jerks, and cleans over a set period. During this time, Soviet researchers also studied kettlebell training and recognized its benefits in improving overall athletic performance, endurance, and cardiovascular health. This research laid the foundation for kettlebell training methods that are still used today. Western Adoption and Modern Popularity For much of the 20th century, kettlebells remained largely unknown outside the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. However, in the early 2000s, kettlebells gained international attention when Russian fitness experts like Pavel Tsatsouline introduced them to the United States and Western fitness markets. Tsatsouline, a former Soviet trainer, emphasized kettlebell training for functional strength, explosive power, and full-body conditioning. As kettlebell training spread, it was quickly embraced by: Military and law enforcement personnel for its effectiveness in combat readiness. Athletes seeking improved strength, mobility, and endurance. Fitness enthusiasts and trainers who wanted efficient, full-body workouts. The rise of CrossFit, functional training, and high-intensity workouts further propelled kettlebells into mainstream fitness. Today, they are used worldwide in gyms, home workouts, and elite training programs. Why Kettlebells Stand the Test of Time Kettlebells are simple yet highly effective tools that combine strength, cardio, and mobility training in one. Unlike traditional weights, their unique shape and offset center of gravity force users to engage stabilizing muscles, making them ideal for dynamic movements like swings, snatches, and Turkish get-ups. Their history of resilience and effectiveness proves why kettlebells remain a timeless fitness tool, used by beginners and elite athletes alike.

Pavel Tsatsouline, is the Chairman of StrongFirst, Inc., a fitness instructor who has introduced SPETSNAZ training techniques from the former Soviet Union to US Navy SEALs, Marines and Army Special Forces, and shortly thereafter to the American public.

Dr. Mark Cheng is one of the most challenging folks to talk about because of the breadth of his background. Born in the US to Chinese immigrant parents, his life would continually reflect the struggle to integrate the East & West into a fluid, coherent, productive, and harmonious way of life. Unimaginably fortunate in his attempts to train and study under the some of the world’s greatest in their particular fields of expertise across a wide domain of endeavors, Cheng would continuously search for the common threads of logic in these fields and their masters. As a medical, movement, & martial professional, Dr. Cheng’s life work revolves around distilling that knowledge down in ways that help everyone from the professional athlete to the injured or elderly move, live, and perform better.  As a traditionally trained martial artist, Cheng received his earliest introduction to Tai Chi from his father. As the years went on and he relocated to the Los Angeles area for college, Cheng went on to study different arts from a variety of masters, some of whom also pushed the impressionable young man to study the healing arts. The areas of Cheng’s investigation ranged from close quarter counter-terrorism methods to esoteric energetic practices, acupuncture, and intensive meditations. Eventually, he would formalize his studies with Masters and Doctorate degrees in Chinese medicine and Acupuncture as well as California state licensure.  Having the opportunity to practice and serve many martial artists allowed Cheng the chance to quickly become familiar with what worked and what didn’t in both mainstream and “alternative” sports medicine. Legendary Bruce Lee disciple, Dan Inosanto, became one of his regular patients. It was through Inosanto that Cheng met his strength and conditioning mentor, Pavel Tsatsouline, a former Spetznaz (Soviet special operations) instructor. Tsatsouline almost singlehandedly is responsible for the popularity of the kettlebell, having brought the Russian weightlifting tool out of obscurity and into gyms and living rooms across the world through a worldwide network of instructors that he personally trained and certified. Cheng had the good fortune to train intensively with Tsatsouline on a private and semi-private basis until being awarded Senior Instructor status under the Russian icon.  Tsatsouline, who founded the Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) and later StrongFirst (SF) organizations, introduced Cheng to world-class physical therapist and movement savant, Gray Cook. Cook took everything Cheng learned and turned it on its ear. Giving him a diagnostic lens through which to better guide his clinical efforts and a guidance system that would give Cheng a dramatic edge over his colleagues in the strength and conditioning field. Because of his work with Tsatsouline and Cook, Cheng would spend years touring the world as an instructor for both of their organizations. During those years, Dr. Cheng would be actively producing instructional media. Through DragonDoor Publications, he was featured as the main instructor in its Kettlebell Warrior DVD. He went on to produce a corrective exercise DVD called Prehab-Rehab 101 through On Target Publications, which came about as a result of questions about what he felt were the most effective corrective exercises with the athletes and patients he’d worked with. With Beachbody, the producers of P90X, he produced a collaboration based on Tai Chi, which was called “Tai Cheng”. That marked the first program in Beachbody’s catalogue that was appropriate for people coming back into fitness after periods of long inactivity or injury. Over the past few years, Cheng collaborated with best friend and colleague, Dr. Jimmy Yuan, to create a new curriculum that was a distillation of the best of his experiences in the fields of martial arts, strength and conditioning, and rehabilitative movement. He reasoned that the best warrior cultures throughout history were successful because of the physical, mental, and emotional development practices that improved longevity and athleticism. Rather than using the martial training methods in the exact format that they’d been passed down to him, Cheng extracted the essence of the combatives drills and reorganized it into training drills and exercises that were low risk, high reward. Thus, even individuals who were averse to violence or physical contact or people who were unable to risk participation in contact sports could benefit enormously from his training methods.  Cheng christened the new curriculum, K3 Combat Movement Systems. The 3 Ks make reference to kettlebells (or strength training outside of the directly tactical), kick-punch arts (such as Kung-fu, karate, etc.), and implement based arts such as Kali (Filipino martial arts) and Krabi-Krabong (Thai weaponry). Cheng is passionate about seeing K3 spread across the world is humbled by the level of interest and support that the K3 certification course has been receiving right out of the gate. With a background that gives him unique perspectives on restoring and developing the human body and a die-hard passion for helping trainers, coaches, and clinicians become even more effective in their craft, Cheng has something special to share with every listener.

So a couple days a week I'm working some key exercises that interest me at the moment: Front Squats Goblet Squats Jump Rope Dead Hang starting position Hollow Pull-Up The front squats I'm new to and only get to practice this movement on days I get to visit the office gym. Otherwise I practice the goblet squats using a dumb bell at home. The jump rope is my indulgence exercise. I LOVE JUMP ROPE! Lastly, when I'm not sitting around or jumping around, I'm literally hanging around building up time holding the starting position of a pull-up or a dead hang and while in hollow position.   Check out "The 'Best' Upper Body Pull" on Strongfirst.com by Pavel Tsatsouline. http://www.strongfirst.com/the-best-upper-body-pull/ Family & Play:Ironically while in between building strength, I'm getting hurt. I have a history of back injury. A couple times in the past week I've done improper lifting either of a child or some free weight, which cause some back twinge resulting in 2-3 days of a tight back. It could be worse and has been worse before. Fortunately I've been able to function and take care of the family despite the discomfort.

On this episode I am pleased to welcome to the show somewhat of a kettlebell mogul in the North American Kettlebell landscape.  Non-European kettlebell enthusiasts such as myself know Steve Cotter as the founder of the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation (IKFF), an organization that promotes the practice of kettlebell training as a means to express its greater focus of integrated mind/body development.  The IKFF is a transcontinental community of unique but unified individuals whose collective distinctiveness resonates through Steve, a man passionate about finding balance in both training and life.In this episode we ask questions like: Is there confusion in the world of fitness?  Does soccer-mom or desk-jockey dad really need Olympic Weightlifting or gymnastics to be healthy?  Is social-media making “the sport of fitness” out to be more than it is?  Are we inventing new sports just because we lost our edge, or because there’s always someone better?  Has fitness or your own physical prowess become the centre-piece of your existence, and if so why?  And if so, how will you define who you are when you lose your ability to demonstrate this physicality?
