What weight of kb do you recommend? I do regular kb workouts but I'm on not a tank (I use 22kg for heavy swing, 8kg for turkish get up.)

You'll have to convert from lbs to kgs. I use a 7-lb for single-handed moves and a 10 and sometimes 15-lb for 2-handed moves.

Because some of the moves are quick- I use 15 and 20 lb kettlebells. With the dead lifts, I use 25 lbs. Have done this workout for about a year - love the results.

I use 15-45 lbs depending on the move. I have six kettlebells so I can switch because different moves use different weights. Since this is cardio based, I usually end up sticking to 20 lbs throughout most of the workouts. You may want to use 20-25lbs.

I use 5lbs, 8lbs and 10lbs depending on the exercise. Of course as you get stronger increase the weight.

Kelly, do you work for beachbody or something? These workouts are insane! You didn't even break a sweat?? I just finished Chalean Extreme, a 12 week program training with heavy weights along with some plyometrics, kickboxing, etc. It's a great workout, but that was easy compared to this. I'm no athlete, but I'm in pretty good shape. I totally disagree. BBL is NOT good for a beginner. I sweat bullets when I do this and I'm not a big sweater! Good luck Kat.

Hi Debra, I'm sorry but I ran into the same problem. You would think that with all the option's available on the scale you would think that you would be able to switch between pounds and kilos. I guess we'll have to learn metrics, sorry I couldn't help.

I prefer The Skogg System and dvds by Sarah Lurie, Lauren Brooks, and Andrea DuCane. These are serious kettlebell workouts. There are a lot of dvds that are aerobics using a kettlebell. I would also recommend instructional dvds by Pavel Tsatsouline and The Great Kettlebell Dvd. These dvds will show you how to do the exercise but it's up to you to create a workout. Some workout samples are available on YouTube if you want a demonstration before buying.

Hello there -- Using 2 or 3 ben wa balls depends on how comfortable you are with your level of kegel control. That also goes for the weight and texture that you use. For example, strengthened pelvic floor muscles will be able to effectively grip 2 or 3 weighted balls. For beginners, a light resistance exerciser is best. This 50 Shades of Grey Kegel Set is designed for those who have mastered the basics of kegel exercises. If you are looking for a new challenge in your kegel routine, these may be the ideal aid. We hope you find this information helpful, and we thank you for shopping with us. Sincerely, Vert Delivery

I use 5 pounds. The average test is to go to the store and see how many reps you can do with a weight. If you can easily do 15, then go to a higher weight that will challenge you. If you have to push yourself to get the last 2-3 reps, then that's a good weight for you.

Kat, if you are 'just' starting to workout then the BBL would be a good starting point. I'm between intermediate and advanced and didn't even break a sweat with it. So definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone BUT beginners.

"semi-weighted". They feel mostly like an unweighted keyboard. I believe the 88 has weighted keys, and that is the reason it is 28 pounds instead of 8 pounds. The Kross 61 is optimized to carry as much as it can in a very light weight.

Being on the low end of the weight scale will only require a little more patience breaking them in and practice, so 158-198 should be fine. Excellent gift idea! However, I would recommend wrist pads too. Happy Holidays!

I believe the unit is 25 lbs. 25 pound = 11.34 kilogram. It's strong enough for a good, quick workout. I use it every day, ten reps in a variety of directions, holding palms down, holding palms up, over the head facing away, over the head facing towards you, one arm stationary and the other arm pulling, and then switch. Ten reps is enough for me to get a muscle pump. ADER also makes a 50 lb unit. But that would obviously be more strenuous. Get them both. You can't beat the price for the quality.

I've been bodybuilding since 1959! (Yeah, I'm an oldtimer, ha!) But I'm also open minded and always willing to give new types of equipment a try. The shake weight is a good addition to my training. It's really sort of simple to use. What I've been doing, when I use it, is to hold it in front of me, and start shaking it and then it's own momentum takes over. But don't let this fool you. It's an ass-kicker. I also alternate left hand over right hand, and vice versa. So obviously I recommend it for the variety it provides. Mike

Kettlebells by nature are high reps with low weight. You can get bigger with this program but you will need to modify it by using double bells, or unbalanced bells with heavy weight. It can be done, kettle bells are just not efficient with getting it done, like traditional lifting. What is your goal? To add tone and muscular definition as well as functionality. Or lift heavy that way everyone knows you are some bad ass that can lift heavy, without functionality.?

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though. I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However...

18 for women 25 pounds for men. The weight Rks offers is too light. You can not build muscle doing a deadlift with 10 pounds.
