Looking for new ways to mix up your workouts? Strength training can do a lot for your joints, balance and, according to the Mayo Clinic, it can improve your quality of life. That might be why kettlebell workouts are getting more popular by the day. But not all kettlebells are created equal. The best are adjustable and incredibly versatile. Top of the list? The Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell. It's a single device that can have you lifting anywhere from 8 to 40 pounds. And even better, we just spotted it at Amazon for $149, an impressive $50 off.
How does it work? While the kettlebell is sitting in the base, just turn the dial to the desired weight — 8, 12, 20, 25, 35 or 40 pounds — and you're ready to lift.
The Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell is the perfect at-home device because it’s a self-contained unit — no need to store a bunch of different weights to get a well-rounded workout. Additional features include free access (via the Bowflex app) to 24 trainer-led exercises — swings, rows, squats, twists — plus tips on improving your form. It's already improved workouts for more than 5,000 five-star fans.
An exercise newbie praised: "As a beginner to fitness, this is phenomenal. Even though it’s larger than standard kettlebells, its size and shape don’t interfere with your movements. The bell handle is a little thinner, but it’s very comfortable in my hands. Also, being able to quickly shift from one weight to another between exercises is so nice. In just three seconds you can have a heavy or lighter kettlebell."
A shopper who gave the kettlebell a five-star review said: "It is super-easy to use, and the versatility of the weights available makes it great for everyone, from beginners all the way to those people who can easily throw around a 40-pound kettlebell."
"If used properly this kettlebell is very safe and versatile," raved another satisfied customer. "It stores well, has a comfortable/wide handle and adjusts weight in good size increments. If we consider taking a road trip any time soon, I would bring this, a resistance band and jump rope for all my workout needs..."
