I started with the 10 mostly to get good form. I've been working out with weights for a while now and would not consider that the 15lb kettlebell is for someone that is out of shape. Proper form is most important. A 15lb kettlebell is what I use now until I am comfortable to move up. All in time. Thanks for your post.

I work out at home and have a few DVDs. Just recently tried kettlebell work outs. Really fun and great change up to other work outs. I would not have thought that swinging a kettlebell would be fun, but it is. You can incorporate various exercises along with the swinging. Excellent cardio and toning work out. Check out…

HI There! I'm glad you posted this. A little while back I posted a question too about kettlebells. I started up with a rather small weight and quickly went to 15 lb bell. To some that seems small weight but I'm still a beginner. Someone had suggested a book to read and DVD that you can purchase on Amazon, her name is Tracy…

Well put! It's how you feel inside. So true...it unfortunately can take a bit of time to realize this. Mostly because of what is around us everyday,stores, media and even other people we are around. We are indeed overwhelmed with how people can judge you by a size or a weight #. YOU want to be happy; THAT comes from the…

Hey everyone....thanks for your replies! Lots of good input. I will incorporate more work outs in a week. I currently am a beginner at it and I'm doing Kettlnetics by Michele Kai.

You summed it up! Motivational for sure! So inspiring.

I missed my last high school reunion for that very reason of being overweight. It made me worried of what people would think. Not good. It's a low feeling. But remind yourself of something....They maybe worried too for how they will be looking after these years. But most importantly you are here using this site. It's the…

Inspiration is the right word! That's what i'm getting from reading posts and everyone's motivation really is giving me a big push to keep this up and exercise too.

Hello! Welcome aboard! I'm pretty new too; just started in the beginning of April. Have fun exploring this site. So much help and info.
