I use them for some things and they are fun. A good way to mix up your workout. BUT...you have to be fairly strong to start with. From what I've seen, the lightest available kettleball is over 20 pounds. This makes a lot of the moves impossible for a beginner and darn hard for even an experienced trained, female lifter! One way to "ease" into kettleball training is with powerballs: these are basically medicine balls of various weights with a handle. You can also do a lot of the kettleball moves with a single dumbbell.
