Are you planning to get your new kettlebell?  The first consideration is to determine its durability, value and safety. How will the piece be able to stand all the stress given by the training? How much forearm bruising percentage can you expect when you use such particular kind of kettlebell? How much does it cost—these questions should be answered first before anything else.

Actually, when it comes to the kind of kettlebell, it is highly difficult to say which one will work well for an individual since there is no exact science about this. Everything will just revolve around one’s experience and ability to make a lift.

As a rule of thumb, any beginner should begin using a 16 kg bell while those people who had already been training for quite long should opt for 24 kg bell. Actually, the 24 kg is known as the standard weight for any Russian military units. This does not simply connote that everyone can carry on such weight but almost all of them will be able to do so the moment when they get discharged.

There are even people who could train using 32 kg kettle bell; this is enormously heavy although there are men who would take this weight easily. If you are among those who can carry a 32 kg bell easily then you’re probably a strong person.

That said, it is up to you to decide which weight will match your strength but it is important to remember not to force yourself to carry something which is beyond your ability because it will only lead to a possible pulls and strains. When it comes to the brand of the kettlebell, you can shop around for ideas and information online.

If you have an Academy in your area, you can buy a set there.  That’s where I got my 25 pound kettlebell for about $55.  You save on shipping and handling.  If you must buy a kettlebell online, you can shop at DragonDoor.com or check out ebay:

So Im trying to make a more formal workout for when I go to the gym in the mornings at 7am before my art class that I go to. So for this summer Im going to start with:
15 bodyweight rows, 25 bodyweight squats, 15 pushups, 50 jumping jacks, 20 mountain climbers, 10 close grip pushups, and 15 bodyweight rows. Later on I will be changing it a little and have a goal where I would be able to eventually do
Pullups - 25 reps
Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50 reps
Pushups - 50 reps
24-inch Box jumps - 50 reps
Floor wipers - 50 reps
Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell - 50 reps
Pullups - 25 reps
with no scheduled rest in between moves in around 20 minutes. Can anyone suggest any other workouts that I can put into my regimen???? I wont take any supplements other than Extra Whey Protein. I take Optimum Nutrition. I dont really like creatine and all that becuz of the chemicals and side effects.
I am aware that the workout I have a s a goal to be able to do is intense. I dont plan to do that for a LONG time.

Why is no one answering? *looks around for D&F answerers*

Ah helll…

That is kind of intense to do in just twenty minutes.

I am lucky and was born with a super fast metabolism. I mainly just run and do crunches and push-ups. Haha. If you can do it, go for it.

Im asking you guys becuz theres no life in Diet&Fitness of Y!A. There isn't really anyone there.

@Hugo Boss: hey!!! did you ever receive an email from me??? Y!A messaging service was acting weird lately and so some people never received an email. so did you??
oh ya Liam…haven't seen you in a LONG LONG time…so MASSIVE HUGGIES!!!!!
@Butterbing: how could i forget the crunches lol…anywhos…this workout targets all the main muscle groups already. but sure…why not. *writes down crunches on list* but UGH!!!…I remember when I used to do dance….demon dance teacher who made us do a crazy workout. and that monster loved crunches.
so i'll add three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of swiss-ball crunches to my beginning routine. :)))

Firstly, Hello AJ … Hope you're well.

Okay, I don't eat much junk at all. I don't really like chocolate and sweets. I drink water and sometimes have a baguette (I made) or cook some fish or something. So I don't really put on much 'fat'.

I also walk to my uni lectures (20 mins) and sometimes jog to my tutorials and back from work. It sort of tones my body.

I also don't smoke at all (maybe the odd one here-and-there) and drink wine socially (which is a healthier option).

Yes, I am shamefully healthy :(.

I'm 5'4'', 135lbs and want to tone up everywhere and lose weight. Until a few months ago I was on the elliptical machine 5 days a week for 40 minutes and lifting a few weights here and there (not consistently). I have been reading about kettlebell training and I want to start it. My question is what size (weight) of kettlebell is best for someone like me to begin with? And can anyone reccommend a good video to get started with? I've seen some stuff on YouTube. It looks fun! Also where in Ontario can I buy kettlebells?

this guy is supposed to be the kettlebell guru…check out his website…get some of his videos…maybe even buy his kettlebels…although an internet search and you may be able to find some cheaper ones
