For the unversed, kettlebell training combines cardio and strength training.

“Swinging the kettlebell increases your pulse, therefore making it a terrific cardiovascular workout. One can derive maximum cardiovascular benefit with exercises like swings, which put minimal stress on the joints. One may also gain power by performing explosive moves like snatches. Kettlebell exercises involves your whole body,” Varun Rattan, co-founder of The Body Science Academy, Noida, told indianexpress.com.

According to Rattan, kettlebells have thicker grip than barbell and dumbbell, which builds grip strength and develops the forearms.

“Kettlebells are compact, do not require expensive racks, and can be stowed away in a corner. They are suitable to train anywhere — a park, indoors, at a gym, or even at home. Using this equipment is safe for people who are healthy if they use the appropriate weight and form,” added Rattan.

This is, however, not the first time Masaba has set fitness goals. Previously, too, the designer shared glimpses from her workout session during which she was seen doing an arm routine which promised ‘the burn’.
