Finally, I see some results, but what exactly is a Kettlebell?

What exactly is a kettlebell you ask? Me too. Because at first, I thought it was some kind of a kitchen tool or perhaps a bell of some sort that would indicate dinner was ready on a farm or ranch. Au contraire. In fact, Kettlebells are these really nifty looking hand held weights, that almost resemble an old cast iron kettle. I really like the way they look because, unlike regular dumbbells, you can hold one kettlebell with both hands, opening up a wider range of movement and toning. Currently, I have dumbbells, sometimes, it is hard to hold both of them and raise my arms up above my head, and then lower my hands behind my head, working that one muscle under the inside of my arm. I think one of these kettlebells might just be what I have needed to make working out easier. And with Christmas right around the corner? I foresee a few of these handy little tools on my Santa list, and the workout video too. Because if I have one complaint with regard to working out, I get bored with the same video every single day. I currently rotate between three, so adding a new one isn’t a stretch for me. And, since I’m down 20.3 lbs from where I was in July, I’m even more motivated than before!

Hi Stella! I really enjoy reading your blog and tried to subscribe, but got a Feedburner error, so I wanted to let you know about the problem. I really admire your style and humor as well as the interesting content and must admit to lusting after it.
