After the U.S.S. Voyager was stuck in the Delta Quadrant in 2371, the people on the ship were stuck with wondering what they were going to do stranded so far away. Because of this though, there was one benefit, the Voyager became the first ship to introduce kettlebells in that part of the universe. Captain Kathryn Janeway for example was natural at using these incredible weights, she made the entire crew see what these round shaped weights were all about.
Captain Janeway, although an incredibly athletic and capable tennis player, was also committed to other ancient Earth exercise schedules. After her father, Admiral Edward Janeway, stressed that he wanted her to participate in the more timeless sports, Kathryn Janeway systematically learned numerous of the great athletic traditions of her home planet. Thus, she found kettlebells and they presented her well, getting her in shape to play tennis while still in high school.
Later on, Janeway would use kettlebell training programs in the holosuite as a way to both keep in shape and burn off excess stress and energy. Always keeping herself in superior physical condition, she could swing a mean kettlebell when she wanted to. During one of the Kazon invasions of Voyager, Janeway tried taking out one of their warriors with the heavy steel ball!
Janeway was the ship's champion at kettlebell lifting, even beating Tuvok in deadlifting. This lasted until Seven of Nine came on board Voyager in 2374. With the superior resilience of the Borg, Seven was able to best Janeway many times in kettlebell competition lifting. Janeway tried to fight with Seven until too many lifts landed her in sickbay with a sprained back. After struggling the pain of both a bad back and the Doctor's lectures, Janeway promised to only use kettlebells for aerobics in the future.
This goes to verify that helpful exercise traditions live on, no matter how effective technology gets. Janeway, who had access to numerous of exercise programs from a million stars, chose kettlebells, an ancient Russian idea, as one of her choice ways to keep fit. These kettlebells would see much action too, as they traveled across the Delta Quadrant on Voyager's long pathway home.
