Where should I start with kettlebells?
To find the right weight: I suggest that you go to the store and try doing a simple one-armed kettlebell military press with a lighter weight and see how many you can do before exhaustion — with the proper starting weight, you should start feeling fatigued but not be in pain at 10 repetitions. I started with 7 lbs and am currently doing 15 reps in all sets at 10 lbs… meaning I will have to graduate to 15 Lbs soon 😀 I recommend that you start by learning the standard moves and then using the beginner DVD workout. When that is too easy, begin to do the beginner workout two times through in a row. Once you can do the beginner workout twice – COMFORTABLY – look into other full DVD workouts by GoFit or Steve Cotter, or any number of other sources.
