Want to climb stairs without actually going anywhere? Get on the stair master.

But this isn’t the same for weights. Picking between kettlebells and dumbbells can be tricky since they are built differently, but can often serve similar purposes, and can also be used for the same exercises – it all depends on what you need.
Both dumbbells and kettlebells have their roots in Greek history. They share their DNA from the same ancient tool called halteres, a crescent-shaped stone with handles. Olympians used to lift these and swing them to enhance performance in the long jump for over 2,000 years ago.
