At Thanksgiving a nephew/cousin (really a second cousin but more like a nephew) did a Kettle Bell demo for us older ladies. He's now a certified KB instructor and I've been bugging him to show us how it works. He laughed the first time I asked and said he would have us try it without the KB first. So we all gave it swing and found out it's very easy to learn. For ladies over 50, he suggested we start out with 20-25 pounds but we would soon out grow it. I do have to warn you not to watch the "You Tube" video about the KB. Most only show the extreme workouts, which will scare you into never wanting to give it a try. You know, it's those guys with big bulky muscles throwing around the KB like a pizza. In the really world, normal people don't do that. The KB works on strengthening the center of your body which in turn will help you with whatever else you want to do. It gets you heart rate going (great in cold weather - really warms you up) and the blue KB matches my blue Bosu ball. You know color matching is so important. :)
