They're awesome. Excellent for both cardio and strength. Noticed the difference very quickly. Have lost weight and strengthend all over by short 30ish min sessions a few times a week.The whole dumbell vs kb debate is a non-starter. Anyone who's happy swinging a dumbell around is liable to injure themselves. Can't see how you'd begin to do 'the snatch'.Advice form a newby - start out with a light weight, it's all about technique. By the time you have the technique you will be strong enough to handle something a bit heavier. Moves like the snatch can seriously hurt your wrist if you don't get the technique right so again start out light. Definately find a qualified trainer if you can as you could easily hurt your back if technique is wrong, especially if you are too proud to start out light!I'm hoping it will benefit my running in terms of speed and stamina. Can't see why it wouldn't, it seems to be beneficial in every way. I’ve been on the Kettlebells for about 3 months. They’re awesome. Excellent for both cardio and strength.

Just want to be stringer and lean.I recently joined a gym, but also bought a kettlebell set up.I was wondering in anyone had any advice on combining kettlebell training with weight machine training like nautilaus. Would it be better to alternate doing nautalis for 3 moinths and the kettlebells for 3 months and so on? or combine them as one apprach.It was my understanding that one should vary their weight routine and technique so ylou don' plateau and varying helos with muscle confusion.Any thoughts appreciated thanks I am 47 and do a fair amount of running and want to build muscle.

For those of you who say that you can use a dumbbell the same way, I say you're wrong. K-bells are made for doing swings, made to do power exercises, and simply have a heavier feel than a traditional dumbbell. Dumbbells were made for bench pressing, k-bells were made for multi-joint power exercises. I can’t say enough about K-bells.

The positioning difference required to swing a DB is no big deal..guys have been doing it for 100yrs. in one breath, KB guys say KBs are 'made' to swing,(ie: swing more easily), in the next breath they praise the greater -difficulty- of doing other lifts as being an advantage! Thats fine, but same goes for the DB: The positioning adaptations need to swing a supposedly more difficult DB are a -good- thing! The average trainee will fall into a fine DB swing with no speacial instruction.) As far as not needing small weight increases: If your technique is good, and you've reached the volume you intend to maintain, your next option is to increase weight. With DBs, you can make a big increase or a small one. With KBs it's a big jump or no jump at all. I prefer the choice.

I'm new to Kettlebells, and I've just started this year using classic lifting moves, like cleans and dead lifts. This workout was real good; you start sweating right away. By the third time through I could feel my heart beating in my whole body. One change, I switched out the lunge & reach for lunges with 35lbs KB's. Also, If you want to make this more difficult, shorten the rest time from 30 seconds to 10. I tried this workout this morning.

An excellent piece of fitness and strength equipment. They aren't "cheap" but a pair will last several lifetimes. If your great grandkids don't sell them at a garage sale they can tell everyone they were yours. I have used Kettlebells on and off for about 5 years.
