Wow!!! Just did a super intense, yet easy to understand workout using a kettlebell. Most definately my new favorite workout too. The workout I did was only about 7 min long and my body was exhuasted, yet I feel very energized. My whole body feels worked out, especially my arms after throwing around a 10lb weight. Love it!

    where did you get the work out from? i'm looking to start doing kettlebells. i read in Shape magazine this month that a person doing a kettlebell workout can burn 20 calories a minute!

    um im not really sure, thats just the one i got, i work with it alright, i mean it takes getting used to because your throwing it over your head a lot, but its not too bad, id say its a good start :)

    Oh yes I love the kettlebell! It's definitely a whole body workout! I'm trying to incorporate it 3 times a week for now but soon I'll be starting up P90X so not sure how that will fit in. I use a 10lb one too. I don't want to throw my back out and overdo it with a 20 lb one.
