Kettlebells

Love the kettlebells. I work out here www.animalstrength.com
There are some videos and pictures around the website that might give you some inspiration. I think one of the best parts about KBs are their versitility, you can always think up new ways to torture yourself with them.

That looks like a interesting place. I have heard of it before. I think that if I can get over the intense burn these things put on me I might amount to something someday.

I found this video online today that addresses Kettlebells. It is very good.

Got motivated when this thread popped up and since I had gotten tired of fighting the fatties at the Y I brought it back home. For the last 3 weeks it's been a cardio focused regimen to help regain my form before I start hitting harder stuff like windmills. Amazing how worked you can be with a kettle bell and a jumprope.....

4 mins jumprope
one arm swings left/right x 10
1 min jumprope
1 min rest
one arm snatch left/right x 10
1 min jumprope
1 min rest
2 arm swing x 10
1 min jumprope
1 min rest
clean and jerk left/right x 10
1 min jumprope
1 min rest
one arm swings let/right x 10
1 min jumprope
1 min rest

Then do it again with half the reps (except for swings cause they rock), no rest.....

one arm swings left/right x 10
1 min jumprope
one arm snatch left/right x 5
1 min jumprope
2 arm swings x 10
1 min jumprope
1 arm clean/jerk x 5
1 min jumprope
one arm swings left/right x 10
2 mins jumprope

Kettlebells rule. Left arm is still struggling after about 10 presses but my back and core feels much stronger.

Kettlebells and a jump rope can kick your ass. I been doing 75 presses, 150 snatches (6 min), and 500 swings at a session (in sets) with a 53lb bell.

Where did you purchase your Kettlebells?

This site has really good prices, and the kettlebells are equal to Dragon Door or Lifeline bells in my opinion.

The shipping was $19 on a 53lb bell, and it took 2 days before it was setting on my porch.

Mixing up my circuits lately, the Magic 50 crushes. Wiping out/cutting rest periods have worked me harder any any other circuit thus far.........
