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). She has a history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but seems to have both decently under control with medication and exercise. more »

I'm planning to buy a kettlebell but I am wondering which size would be best for me, the 35lb or 53lb size. I am 6'2 240lbs and worry that the 35lb kettlebell would not be enough because I usually use dumbbells that are heavier than that during my typical workouts. more »

Can a reasonable fit lady, who has never used a kettlebell before, jump right in with the help of the new Andrea Ducane DVD: Kettlebell Goddess? I ask because when I try to show my girlfriend how to use a 16lb kettlebell, she thinks I'm picking on her or not giving enough advice. more »

Although kettlebells are awesome for strength building and fat burning, after a while it's my nature to get bored with things (except for my wife, of course). :-) So today I broke down and signed up with Gold's Gym. It's been quite a while since I did any kind of standard bodybuilding type workout, so it'll be interesting to see how things go. My wife has gone to Gold's with a friend on a guest pass a few times and really likes their "Body Pump" classes, so for our anniversary I thought I'd go ahead and get us a couple of memberships. Yeah, yeah I know... I'm a true romantic. more »

I just got my 36 pound kettlebell today. I have to say the exercises were harder than I thought! The only problem I have is that when the darn thing swings around and whacks my forearm, it really kills. I try to keep my wrist straight, but in the later reps sometimes, it gets pushed back just a bit. Any suggestions? more »

I did the under-leg pass from the Russian Kettlebell Challenge video, the exercise where you bend over and pass the kettlebell through your legs in a figure 8 motion. My back was hurting after doing this. What should my stance be while doing this? In what position should I have my back? more »
