Wow. Just wow. This is so much wrong in here. Shame on Gin Miller.

    Some...interesting...variations on form there. The holding the kettelbell in front of the arm thing is...revolutionary.

    Yikes.

    I'm so pleased to learn that I can purchase a proper lady's kettlebell that won't hurt my nails!

    I haven't heard her name in forever but I used to love her step videos! What bugs me most is designed for women! Women don't need a special KB. Makes me feel very fortunate that I learned KB in a class environment with experienced instructors.

    Gin Miller has done good things overall as far as getting people moving, etc. This article/product, in my view, is an attempt to expand the marketplace. I have no issue with making a living, but money grabbing at the possible expense of people who don't know better isn't very ethical.

    What self respecting woman uses a bell that is adjustable "up to" 10lbs? Mrs KB complained about the difficulty in exercising with 8 lb dumbells, and I started her with a 25lb.

    In response to Kid P....I can't imagine front loading like that and hanging a 24 or 32 off of my thumb.....wow.

    You won't break a nail -you will break your wrist if you try to hold it that way with anything heavier than 10lbs - that's probably why she tries to keep it "under 10lbs.... :sad: :bigsmile:

    i am thinking that is the model's fault in not understanding the dynamics. I did a google image search for gin miller kettlebell; and while I didnt find any images to the contrary, the only ones I found showing technique were the ones from the article.
