Abstract
A kettlebell is disclosed herein having, in its preferred embodiment, a pair of oppositely-facing, generally frustum-shaped weightplates disposed about a first axis that is perpendicular to the axis of its handle. The frustum shape reduces the force of impact against the user's forearm during certain exercise movements. The preferred handle includes places which can be held between the user's thumb and remaining fingers for improved control during other exercise movements.

A kettlebell exercise device comprising:
- at least one weightplate, at least a portion of thereof having a generally frustum shape disposed about a first axis;
- a generally cylindrical handle sized to be gripped by a user of said kettlebell, and disposed about a second axis generally perpendicular to said first axis;
- means mechanically coupling said handle to said weightplate.
A kettlebell exercise device comprising:
- at least one weightplate having front and rear faces, said weightplate generally disposed about a central axis;
- a contact surface member formed along the side of the weightplate and slanting toward said central radius in the direction of the front face;
- a generally cylindrical handle sized to be gripped by a user of said kettlebell, and disposed about a second axis generally perpendicular to said central axis;
