Kettlebell Exercises
B asked:


I purchased one 35 lb kettlebell a few days ago and have been doing squats, sumo squats, 2 and 1 handed swings, and rows (back); about 3 sets of 15-20 reps. Is this enough or should i do more reps? What about rest time? I’m comfortable using free weights, but the kettlebell feels odd especially when i attempt a clean or any exercise where the bell sits on forearm; I have a bruise on forearm. I believe the problem is that the bone shape of my forearm curves a bit due to a broken arm when i was younger, so when i do a clean, the bell is not flat against my forearm (hits the slightly curved part of bone). Is there any solution or does it sound like i’m doing the exercise wrong? Also, is the book enter the kettlebell worth getting? And where can i find a good starting routine?

So do you only use kettlebells, or other equipment in conjunction with kettlebells? what other equipment do you use, and what exercise for that piece of equipment?

My brother is in incredibly good shape, (played D1 football) very strong but I’m not sure he has ever worked with kettlebells before…what is an appropriate weight to get him?

I am twelve and i am going on a cruise in two weeks. The one i am going on is known for getting you fat. (family joke) we always weigh alot more when we come off the ship. I am a dancer so i have some exercise that i do. Also my mom is a kettlebell instructor if you know what that is. I am about 5 foot 2 and weigh 135 pounds so i am kinda over weight and i don’t want to look like a really fat person when i get back. Any ideas on what i could do. I have a elliptical for exercise. Anything i can eat that can help me lose weight before dancing or walking or anything i will do anything i can. By the way there is snow on the ground so i cant go walking.

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!
