Kettlebells really are amazingly effective for those who are either looking to get in the best shape ever or to enhance functional movement. Problem is that since they are so hot, everyone and their mother is trying to capitalize. Find an instructor in your area and learn how to use the tool. Otherwise, you probably won’t enjoy it that much and you may even get injured IMHO

Gotta admit, I’ve never heard of them before. Sounds interesting and somewhat painful.

We have kettlebells at my gym, but with no tuition I don’t fancy starting to swing big iron handbags about in front of hundreds of gym-goers! HOWEVER my birthday’s coming up and the idea of a home workout appeals… way to totally freak out my new lodger as well!

Are you going to keep on with the workout?

I have heard good things about Kettelbells, but unfortunately my gym is not cutting edge and doesn’t have them. I would definitely like to give them a try as it sounds like a good workout and like fun (umm swinging weighted balls around sounds like a blast! maybe it is just me…)

Wow – how did I not know you had this completely awesome website?!?! Anyhow, my bad. I’ve added you to my reader so I won’t miss out again.

Great post! I wish I could have taken a personal lesson. There isn’t anyone that teaches it at my gym. Yeah, I live in the sticks. So have you kept up with KB training or was it just this one time?

I use these at my gym. They are great for your arms and I find they seem really easy but the next boy do I feel it in my arms. Thanks for the blog it is quite inspiring.
