seagirl That sounds good; did you start with 15 or work your way up?
I was using 10 for a long time before this, but then realized they weren't doing much. It was when I switched to 15 that I really saw results. The key is to get a weight that is heavy enough so you are tired at 10 reps. So that might vary for people and will change over time as you get stronger.
I don't think kettlebell v. dumbbell makes a difference. I have 2 15lb barbells, and a 20lb kettlebell.
