did anyone trim down doing kettlebell circuits / workouts?

I love kettlebell but I've been doing a lot more hiit training , which is great but just wondered if I could just focus on kettlebell ? Will I trim down doing this ? Did you? I'm 212 by the way x

Yes. A calorie deficit is all that is needed to lose weight.

Kettlebell circuits are good for both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning and are a great form of exercise.

That would be high;y unlikely as

1) You're a female and don't produce enough testosterone to get bulky without considerable effort.
2) You're not training for hypertrophy
3) You're not eating a calorie surplus.

Kettlebell your heart out.

I would sing the praises of Kettlebells all day long. And no you won't get bulky. There's a 130 lb girl in my Kettlebells class who swings 35lbs bells and there's nothing bulky about her.

I've been doing Kettlebells for over a year now, 3 hour long sessions a week. I love that it's weight training and cardio combined. I am now getting actual definition and toning in my arms, legs, glutes and, slowly but surely, abs. I also do weights but only started about a month or 2 ago, but I would recommend this along side the Kettlebells, even the weight machines at the gym.

I would actually increase the weight bells tho.
I also do this and Im up to using 15lbs.
I burn more cals and my waist has sinched quite a bit!

I have lost around 3 and half inches off my hips and have lost around 2 and half off my waist from kettlebells so far so they can help quite a bit. I like them also. I like the Kettlenetics one. But then sometimes on days when I do more cardio instead of that workout then I will lift like 15 minutes with a lot heavier kettlebell.

I have just started using them myself and was wondering if they really are as good as they are sold to be on the adverts I lost 3lbs last week and 2lb this week, so I happy with them so far .. I just find it hard to believe at my wieght that I burn 500 calories in 25 mins so I am not eating those calories
