[iluvgtasan]

We have some kettlebells in the gym, and I tried touse them today, but this is a bit more tricky than it seems. Can yougive me a link to some place or video where I can learn about thetechnique of using them? Thanks!

www.youtube.com Then, when that page opens, put kettlebells in the search page. You can thank me later.

yup the youtubes have a lot of kettleball stuff

or you can hire a PT at your gym to teach you them. i don't use them myself but they are handy for stuff like roman chairs etc

Youtube is the best source. Given that the Russians invented the kettlebells, it would be good to check out the russian videos. Don't think you will need to understand much of the talking, and you can take them for an example.

Swings are the best - great for core strength and cardio.

A kettlebell really is just a differently shaped dumbbell when it comes down to it. Everything you can do with a dumbbell, you can do with a kettlebell. I like to hold kettlebells when doing walking lunges, squats etc.

Kettle bell swings are a great exercise to build core strength and cardio endurance.

You can also do things like cleans to press with kettlebells.

I would just use youtube and check out a bunch of different exercises.
