CeeBeeSlim: Just one more comment about KB's and then I'll devote myself to actually using them instead of talking about them.

I bumbled across a trainer named Steve Cotter, who appears to be The KettleBell King. I ordered from amazon his Encyclopedia of Kettlebell Lifting, a set of five CD's. He is nothing if not thorough. I've just finished listening to 20 minutes of his introduction and all he's covered so far was safety and general rules. Some of them I would never have thought about: don't wear shoes unless it's necessary and then only flat bottomed shoes without an elevated heel; don't wear lifting gloves or a lifting belt; be very careful of hand calluses; don't look at bright lights indoors or towards the sun outside; don't work out in front of a mirror. He reminded us not to drop a kettlebell on our feet; I had already figured THAT one out on my own.

The entire set was just under $26, which may seem more than you want to pay since you're farther down the road than I. But there are more than 15 different workout plans as well as detailed descriptions of all the individual exercises. It's a LOTTA information. Note that Steve's presentation style lacks a certain zip; think of it as boring stuff that keeps us from ending up in traction.
