Comment posted on Mastering The Kettlebell Swing by Scott
How tall are you James?
The easiest way to tell is to try one out (perhaps in a gym, or at a friend’s place). If this isn’t an option, grab a 45lb dumbbell and try a few of the moves. It won’t feel quite the same, but it’ll give you an idea.
A 45lb kb is probably reasonable though – but go lighter if you’re in any doubt. There are several ways to make the exercises themselves more challenging

- Personal recommendation – London Kettlebells. I’ve bought several things from those guys, and the service is always great.
- Nice post. Swings are great.
Btw, Tracy pushes extremely hard. If you manage to keep up, you’re doing well

Cheers Bhujangadev.Rob, I’m looking closely at LED lighting here too. Still a little pricey, but a lot less power hungry.
As for the worm bin, try to keep it close to the kitchen.

Nice post Christina. #9 is particularly relevant in my case – I eat anything that isn’t nailed down - Monitoring Your Energy Usage
Tripled? Ouch! I suspect it’s more than just the heater. What other devices are in the room?

is there an international place to buy the kettle bells from please? i am from the uk
I’m pretty sure you could walk into any fitness store in the UK and they would be there. I just did a google search for buy kettlebells in the UK and it came up with 106,000 results. Maybe start at either of those places

thank you very much for that…i am 190lb but extremetly strong for my weight, what would be a good weight for me to really push me? the 45lb’s i thought?
