Seems like everywhere I turn, people are discovering kettlebells and I have heard they can even be found at Target. You know if it gets to a big box retailer, they have “arrived”.

If you want to get the straight scoop on getting started with KB’s, including the exercises, Scott Bird of straighttothebar.com has posted a comprehensive starting point here for the new and seasoned kettlebell user.

After taking a couple days off from any kind of training, I went back to the gym without a specific workout in mind, which was fine since I did not have a lot time anyway. My session turned out well.

I supersetted 3 rounds of 40 16 kg kettlebell swings with 40 sit-ups with no rest between sets. That was a good warm-up for a quick Military Press workout.
9 x 3 with a 90 second break between sets. 95/105/115/125/130/135/140/145/150/. All reps went well and when it was all finished, I got a reasonably good workout in a short time span.
