Have you heard of kettlebells? The first time I did, I thought they’re kettles – you know, the kind that you boil water in. Then, I thought they might be some kind of surge protectors. Ridiculous, no? Shows you how little I know about fitness and bulking up! You don’t use kettlebells to heat water; you use them to melt fat.

Kettlebells are made of cast iron. Can’t picture out how they look? Google, people! Or, imagine a cannonball or a bowling ball, only it comes with a handle. Oh, and here’s the most important part – it’s heavy, anywhere from 8 pounds to 88 pounds kind of heavy. If you want to get lean so fast it’s ridiculous (and build envy-inspiring muscles to boot), you use a kettlebell.

I read that the kettlebell works better than the dumbbell in that it strengthens the whole body, not just your arms. The Russian Special Forces use them. So do Russian Olympic athletes and weightlifters. And maybe, if I could only put my mind to it, so would I. Let’s see.
