Posted on 2/5/2007 at 8:32AM in Getting Started.

My mother is 57 years old. She was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. She needs to lose a lot of weight (approximately 20-30 lbs to get her blood sugar to drop, and 60 lbs to be really fit).

What Size Kettlebell To Start?

Posted on 1/19/2007 at 8:39AM in Getting Started.

I'm planning to buy a kettlebell but I am wondering which size would be best for me, the 35lb or 53lb size. I am 6'2 240lbs and worry that the 35lb kettlebell would not be enough because I usually use dumbbells that are heavier than that during my typical workouts. more »

Breaking Up the Routine

Posted on 1/27/2006 at 5:08AM in Kettlebells: Misc.

Although kettlebells are awesome for strength building and fat burning, after a while it's my nature to get bored with things (except for my wife, of course). :-) So today I broke down and signed up with Gold's Gym. It's been quite a while since I did any kind of standard bodybuilding type workout, so it'll be interesting to see how things go. My wife has gone to Gold's with a friend on a guest pass a few times and really likes their "Body Pump" classes, so for our anniversary I thought I'd go ahead and get us a couple of memberships. Yeah, yeah I know... I'm a true romantic. more »

How to stop kettlebell from hitting forearm so hard?

Posted on 8/2/2005 at 7:46AM in Kettlebell Techniques.

I just got my 36 pound kettlebell today. I have to say the exercises were harder than I thought! The only problem I have is that when the darn thing swings around and whacks my forearm, it really kills. I try to keep my wrist straight, but in the later reps sometimes, it gets pushed back just a bit. Any suggestions? more »
