My motivation for all this training is that I want/need to get bigger and stronger, faster, more explosive, etc etc.. What is better train with, dumbbells or kettlebells? What are some exercises for me to do with them? Thanks for the help guys

Snowman asked:


I’m trying to workout how much work is done when swinging a kettlebell from between the legs to overhead height. The movement could be traced as a semi-circle on a straight line pretty much.
Any formula I could use to calculate the work done?
I’m not too clued up on these things yet.

Am I right in saying that the kinetic energy should equal the potential energy at rest?
As far as I understand it (using a 20kg Kb as an example starting at, let’s say, 30cm above the ground), potential energy would be

m.g.h = (20)(9.8)(.3)
= 58.8 Joules

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I recently bought myself some kettlebells because I have been hearing alot of great things about them. I am looking for some exercises that specifically tone abs, thighs and arms.

Any suggestions would be great.
I am currently working out 3 days a week to loose some weight but feel as though i should be toning up at the same time for optimal results. I am hoping to loose 35 lbs.

I have been training with kettlebells for the past 2 months and have seen amazing results. I need to know what other conditioning tools i should use to get in shape(muay thai and BJJ). I am probably going to order a sandbag training bad to . What others things will help get me in top fighting shape routines ,equipment, conventional weight exercises? Also i desperately need to find a diet I have no clue regarding Nutritional information besides stay away from clearly bad things like MCdonalds and such. Any information at all will help i would prefer free online things but having to buy books or dvds is not a problem at all. thanks in advanced

I’ve recently become interested in kettlebells. I am trying to lose weight and so far have lost 15lbs with a Jillian Michaels work out video. But I’ve become a little tired of it and want to try something else for awhile. Has anyone tried kettlebells? How much weight did you lose?
Thanks for the help!

I am a 44y/o fit woman and I work out at home with kettlebells and resistant bands. I have a few free weights, an exercise ball and some pilates dvd’s. I’m looking for exercises to sculpt my arms further and get rid of the little pooch in my lower abs. Thanks!
