Thread: Magic Kettlebells - My pics :)

i also would like to add the kettlebells are excellent for body shape, i do 4 40 min classes per week and have been doing them since april. i use 4kg for the boxing moves, 8kg for all the arm lifts and swing with a 12kg kettlebell. i really recommend them.

Wow bunny you must be fit as a fiddle!!! I use mostly 7.5 and drop down to 5 for tougher moves! Hoping to move up to 9kg bells for swings etc soon

wow well done you look amazing!

Wow, inspiring photos! You look fantastic! I've just started on my kettlebell journey so I am excited and optimistic.

I embarked on an exercise programme using kettlebells for 20 mins 3 x per week and have been blown away by the way they have helped to tone my body. Just thought I'd share as it might convice others to dabble with kettlebells

Wow!! I'm bl**dy ordering them right now!! 20 mins 3/wk sounds like my perfect workout!! Thank you!!!!

very impressed i dont even know wha they are butwill taea look x well done you look hot x

I started using kettlebells 2 weeks ago, although I'm only using them 10-15 minutes a day on top of cardio they definitely do work. 10 minutes of using kettlebells has the affect as running on a treadmill for 45 minutes!!

I use a 7.5kg for everything, I will get a 5kg though because I find some arm lifts hard with a 7.5kg - I dont really want to do any damage. I think I could go heavier for the swings, probably to 12kg - it would probably be easier than 7.5kg because of the momentum but I can't afford a 12kg at the moment. I'm a student and kettlebells are expensive although absolutely worth every penny. Seriously, anyone thats reading this DO NOT HESITATE and start kettlebells NOW! lol

well done x

Kettlebells really can be used effectively; this thread and your progress pictures prove this. Well done and it's great to see someone else is having success with kettlebells! Keep it up.
