    Paul Katami is a certified instructor. His dvd's will kick your butt, especially Build and Burn. I use 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 lb kettlebells during my workout. Paul explains form quite well.

    I LOVE the kettlebell! I keep it super-simple though. The Russian Swing is the only thing I do with it. I pasted the link below that got me started with it. It's a great way to work out when I don't have time to hit the gym. CAUTION! Do NOT overdo it the first couple of times. You will be totally out of commission for a couple of days if you do. LOL! Here's the link: http://fourhourworkweek.com/2011/01/08/kettlebell-swing/

    Feel free to add me if you want to.

    thanks for those last links! i've done weight training with a trainer in the past so I feel pretty comfortable that my form will generally be okay, but I will definitely watch it.

    I was going to go buy one tomorrow, there is 8, 12 or 15 pounds...any thoughts on this?

    Don't go too light b/c you'll outgrow it quick. I would say start with 20 pounds.

    Also look up Skogg's workouts. He has 1 on youtube that is free. You can also buy his dvds. I've only done the Youtube workout, but I would say his videos are definitely worth purchasing.

    RKC certified, free, video kettlebell workouts, and participants are not musclemen. Love it.

    Avoid Jillian. The KB community had a heyday with that video. Not just her form but that she has no KB training and she made up some pretty dangerous moves.
