It depends on the exercises. Are you doing some sort of DVD with it? If so I would actually count it as both. If you're just doing it as weight training, then strength only.0

I don't know the answer but it is not a stupid question. We're all here to get educated about health, so that's what you're doing. Don't feel like it's a stupid question. Im sure there are others wondering the same thing. Good Luck!0

I love my K-bell.... I think you COULD log as both..but I log it as Cardio, because my heart rate goes UP!!

It's both. The place I do kettlebell/circuit training, I expect to burn about 600s calories/hr0

I'd put it under cardio so you can get some points for it...i put weight training under cardio too, because if you put it under strength training you won't get a calorie burn0

Which would totally be strength training, btw.0 -

Technically, cardio exercise is defined as aerobic exercise. It's any exercise that is designed to improve the amount of oxygen in your blood.
So you CAN do cardio with kettlebells, but you need to do them at a quick enough pace that your heart is pumping hard and your sweating.0 -
I like Carmel corn better than kettle corn.0

OMG! I keep smiling. Thanks for the laugh!0 -
Well I use an HRM, so I record them as cardio. . The training video that I have I am doing squats and lunges and using the kettlebell!0

not a stupid question...
if you're doing an exercise with a heavy kettlebell for 10 reps and resting a minute between sets then that would be considered strength training.
if you're using a light kettle bell and doing different exercises for 15 minutes (or however long you like) without a break then that would be more of a cardio workout.0 -
