- my thoughts too… they are a little posh and too light in weight for me, but next time I go buy I’ll snap a pic and get more info on the price and the weights.

In the past 6 months, I have placed in the top 10 for total pounds lifted, total number of workouts, and this last month number of cardio minutes at my local YMCA. I started spinning at 5:30 am just before the new years, looking for something to kickstart fat loss.I have stayed within five pounds plus and minus of 260lbs during this time. I eat fairly decent, not a lot of refined foods (my kids are on a gluten free diet, so I am as well), get plenty of protein (my recovery shake is milk, yogurt, fruit and whey) and water.
On top of this I mountain bike, do kung fu, do yoga and hit the heavy bag.
I’m sitting at 260lbs, 23% BF at 6’2″. I’d like to drop that percentage by about 8 points….

I lost weight doing weight watchers, but I didn’t have the energy to exercise. I do not think it is very well suited for an active 20 something looking to lose 30-40lbs with exercise.

You’re shitting me! Target? The chain store?

Target? That’s excellent. If it gets people exposed to them, all’s good.
I just went and bought my first Kettlebell. Got it in imperial units – 20 pounds. Cost me $50 plus tax. They said that they just got a shipment in and that I was lucky because they go quickly. Got mine at Luckie’s Fitness Equipment here in Edmonton. Their website is http://www.luckis.com. Tell Mark that I sent you.
I’m planning on buying a new kettlebell every two weeks or so until I have the entire set
Fantastic Rob. I’ve no doubt you’ll love working with them.
Target? I need to go test this at my local target. Thanks for the good info you shared here. I am planning on buying one real soon.
Great posting. There just are not enough postings about weightloss on these boards. great work!
So @Ty, would you think then that exercise is not a part of weight loss? Kettlebells are an exercise tool (as you’re quite aware), which would facilitate weight loss as well as muscle gain.
and, there are LOTS of postings about weight loss on this blog
Hi! I’m a 19 year old male and I was introduced to and have been lifting weights for 3 years, mainly using Craig Ballantyne’s TT fat loss workouts. Only last year have I started training for strength. I now want to buy a kettlebell and use it for metabolic conditioning and strength and power gains but I’ve never used one before in a workout, though I’ve practised the technique before. Which weight/s should I buy and in what quantities?
Some information about me:
Bench press 3RM: 45kg
Pullup max: 7
Incline chest press: 3×8 reps@17.5kg
DB one-armed row: 3×12 reps@15kg
DB forward lunge: 3×6 reps@12.5kg in each hand
@Clement, If you’ve already been conditioning, I’d say start with something just a little heavier than what you’re used to, but just slightly.
Consider a 8 or 10 kg bell (20 lb’er)
Remember, you’re swinging them more often than not, so some momentum comes into play. Then move up from there.
I began with a 20, then got a 35 and now have a 53 as well.
