Unless you live under a rock, you’d be well aware of the advantage of strength training, especially in supporting and maintaining mens health. Anyone who’s exercised for any length of time with weights knows how muscular development can really contribute to ones ability to; loose, and keep off, excess body fat, increase energy levels, feel stronger, increased libido/sex drive, think sharper, improved sleep, improved confidence, and look and feel better in general.
This year I discovered the joy of Kettlebells. Kettlebells are simply incredible for developing all over strength and muscularity, while simultaneously working on your cardiovascular system and boosting your metabolism through the roof. What also sets them apart from other weight bearing exercises is how fun they are to use. I can’t walk past them without picking them up! There’s something very natural and primal about the feel of them.
Kettlebells seem to me to be an amazing partner for Yoga practice. The perfect Yin and Yang. One build your strength, power and endurance, and the other releases the bodies energy, and opens, aligns and balances the body. Throw in the odd session of chin ups, and an occasional walk, and you’ve reached nirvana in my book!
I recently purchased almost $500.00 worth of kettle balls. I personally use them to train myself to hold people in hand to hand handstands though. Normal asana is plenty difficult for me without the added weights 
I used to include kettle-bells in my weight training. They obviously make a different effect to muscles than barbell or dumb-bells. But they also need a perfect technique (which is really not easy) to achieve good results without injures. Mostly it`s about able use of inertia. You have to be attentive all the time, just like in asanas.

Yeah, your right! Far out, I never thought about that. It’s a bit of an art form in a way.
