They are simply an alternative way to add resistance to training. If you listen to the hype you would feel let down, but as a tool they are effective at what they do.

As you can see from the background, they increase in weight like dumbbells. The problem is, people are not too sure how to use them

The reason PTs would use a kettlebell over a dumbbell in this exercise is for safety. They are a lot more versatile. The larger, heavier ones are great for sled training
