A kettlebell is a piece of exercise equipment that looks rather like a cannonball attached to an iron handle. It is used to provide a different grip and lift from the technique associated with dumbbells, thereby causing you to use different muscles and approaches. A kettlebell workout can be intense, ensuring good loss of body fat, increased strength and focused endurance. Yet, not everyone has the space or budget for purchasing yet more exercise equipment. In this article, you'll learn an easy and cheap way to convert weight disks to kettlebells, to allow you to change your workout routine at home.
- Make a tricep rope or two. Follow the design shown in the photo, which is made from a climbing rope. Choose a rope diameter that is less than half the diameter of the disk's hole.
- Make very big knots. Tie them tightly or glue them.
- Choose your weights. Pass the rope through the holes.
- Make a knot just above the weights. This will ensure that they don't bounce up and down while training.
- You' re good to go.
- Try out different rope lengths to find the one that suits you best.
- Choose many weight disks of small diameters instead of one that is very big, so that it stays in a horizontal position while training.
Edit Warnings
- Tie these knots tightly or glue them, because you don't want the weights flying in the gym.
- Stand away from people and mirrors while training to avoid hurting someone or damaging the mirrors in case the kettlebell slips away from your hands.
