Kettlebell book or video?
I am curious about the contents of the Russian Kettlebell Challenge book vs. the video or DVD. I understand that the scientific "proof" of the benefits of kettle bell lifting are not entirely known. Given that, I'm curious as to the contents of the book vs. the contents of the video. I have read Pavel Tsatsouline's MILO article on kettlebell lifting.

I've received my Russian Kettlebell Challenge video and have already watched it twice, but I have no clue how to proceed as far as a program or routine is concerned.

My mother is 57 years old. She was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. She needs to lose a lot of weight (approximately 20-30 lbs to get her blood sugar to drop, and 60 lbs to be really fit).

<img src="http://kettlebelltraining.net/images/kettlebell-set.gif" />I find it funny how people react to the price of a kettlebell. Their eyes usually get wide and their mouth opens a bit, as if to say "Are you kidding?" I think their reaction is due to the fact that they just don't realize what a simple kettlebell can do for one's [...]
