From Sandy: As a fitness trainer, I’ve seen just about everything out there for “getting fit”. There are no magic solutions. It takes good ol’ fashioned exercise, a healthy diet and proper training methods. That said, I’ve never seen a fitness modality that is as effective as kettlebell training.

The kettlebell is a tool that when used properly is extremely effective and efficient. Working with the kettlebell almost demands that the intensity of the workout increase, that core muscles engage, and that the body work as a coordinated unit. If you want  improvements across the spectrum from cardiovascular to strength to athleticism to body composition changes, you’ve got to try kettlebell training. See for yourself. Sign up for the Kettlebell Total Body Fitness Series.
