I really wanted to lose some weight, and I started reading about Kettle Bell exercises and how they burn a lot of fat. I was getting really tired of Tae Bo, so I thought "Why not?". I ordered a 15lb weight to start off with, thinking that I didn't want to injure myself right off the bat as I felt I had little upper body strength. I found the weight just right to start off with, not too heavy and certainly a challenge. The kettle bell is smooth on my hands, although after a few sessions, I realized I needed to take off my wedding band as it would pinch. I've got a few callouses now, but I don't really mind.I have had the kettle bell for about one month now, and I'm doing the Sarah Lurie videos which I like a lot. The video set was only about 11$ and it came with 4 videos, two (kind of) starter videos, a boot camp quick but tough video and an Iron Core Warrior one that I don't think I'm quite ready for yet. So far I've lost at least 12" total off my entire body, and I'm pleased. I can feel my abs folks. I can feel them when I am at work, and when I am resting and when I am working out. I've had two C-Sections, so it feels great to be able to feel those muscles coming back. I would highly recommend this to anyone who can to try this out!The Cap bell seems to be the best for your money, I haven't noticed any scratches or wearing away with it. It can get slippery when you're sweating, but you learn right away to keep a good handle on the bell or you're going to say good bye to your TV or window, or wall... After about a month in, I think I'm ready for the 20lb bell. If you're serious about finding a good piece of equipment, don't go pretty on this, go plain and smooth and solid.

I was a bit concerned that some reviewers reported receiving damaged kettlebells, but I went ahead and ordered a 25lb bell. It was beautiful...well packaged and undamaged. It was so beautiful, I immediately ordered a 35lb bell. Again, this one arrived undamaged. Amazon clearly has the best price along with free and rapid shipping. If you want a kettlebell, these are a really terrific deal. Five stars for quality to CAP and five stars to Amazon for price and delivery.Now I'm like the little dog who chased cars and one day caught one. What do I do with a kettlebell? I have watched several videos and read several books. All the strange, contorted kettlebell exercises I see are much better performed with the extensive set of dumbells I already have. To gain real strength you need the heavy weights you can put on a barbell. For variety and isolation, dumbbells are great. All the dumbbell exercises I see that have been adapted to kettlebells look really dumb. So what do I do with the kettlebells I bought? I do find the two-handed kettlebell swing useful. This would be more difficult with a dumbbell, and I don't have a T-handle to use weight plates. Besides, I don't like adjustable things. I like to just pick up a weight and go without fear that it might fall apart because I forgot to tighten something. I do find the kettlebell swing convenient. It is surprising how quickly this movement brings up the heart rate...nothing like my treadmill, but a good warmup before conventional weight training.Bottom line: These are excellent kettlebells. I think you cannot do better on quality and price. Before you leap though, think about your goals. If you want to get stronger, kettlebells are more hype and fad than a strength tool. I find that there are a few movements for which I find them useful, and I do not regret having them around. I very much recommend these kettlebells if you want a kettlebell, but I would not recommend kettlebells as a means to get stronger or build muscle. Good luck.

The kettle bell arrived in great condition. I was reading reviews before my purchase and many reviewers said their bell arrived damaged, but I took the chance and bought it and it arrived in prime condition. It was packed very well.This is a great price for an iron cast bell! I love using it for my lighter exercises such as the snatch or Turkish getup. I have a 20 lbs Ader bell which I love and have had for years. This CAP bell is just as good so far. I have ordered a 30 pound bell from CAP and can't wait for that to arrive.Kettlebells are a wonderful way to get fit for a low price all in the comfort of your own home. I recently decided to exclusively use the Kettlebell (I was using exercise DVDs before) combined with running and see tremendous results in a very short time. On New Year's Eve I couldn't fit into any of my pants So I decided to do the 100 swing challenge for 30 days and immediately saw a difference. I lost noticeable weight around my middle and there is more definition on my entire body. I am trying to eat clean and also running about 20 miles a week so the results are also attributed to these factors too, however, I believe that the swing alone has helped my running as I can feel more strength and stamina. This makes sense because when I first started I could barely do 20 swings before I had to rest. Now I can do 100+ swings without stopping--all in a month! I now swear by the kettle bell (took me years to realize and commit). I decided to buy a light bell so I can get into other kinds of exercises with it.

The UPS delivery man had a great workout unloading this 80 pounds beast on my doorstep. Keep in mind that 80 pounds is a lot of weight, so review the workouts where you can use it. It is... a minimalist list. Mainly Sumo Deadlifts and Suitcase Carry, which are great exercises for grip and strength. However, if you are looking for a kettlebell that you can do loads of routines with it, buy lighter. 20-30 pounds are more versatile.This being said: I have many CAP kettlebells and they are all fine products for the price you pay. This big fella earns 5 stars on the price/quality ratio. Great bell and delivered to my doorstep free via Prime was an easy buy.

Love my kettlebell. These CAP kettlebells are simple but well designed. The handle provides good grip and is perfect for accomodating different hand sizes. You can get different grips for different techniques. The weight is perfectly balanced, so they are effective and this also helps minimize the chance of injury.I like the black enamel coating, aesthetically and practically.I ordered the 45 lb for myself and the 15 lb for my wife. It's a good idea to start with a lower weight, and practice the techniques first. I would recommend trying one out at a gym or store, if you're not sure which weight to get for yourself.There are many techniques, which makes this little piece of equipment a lot of versatility in the different workouts you can perform, depending on which muscle groups you wish to focus on. There are quite a few workouts that work the whole body, such as the basic kettlebell throw (the first one I tried and still my favourite). There are DVDs, YouTube videos, apps (many of them free), which can help you learn different techniques in using the kettlebell.Weight training with a kettlebell can increase your strength, even when you use it for as little as 5-10 minutes a day. It's hard to find something that gives you better value for your money, in terms of building strength. There's a reason the old school Russian wrestlers to throw kettlebells around all day. I don't enjoy doing sets with weights, but kettlebells feel like you're exerting yourself in a more realistic way, so it seems to create a more practical strength (not just to look good).A good cardio workout can be achieved in a short time, using kettlebells, especially when performing the techniques which work the whole body.I can't say enough about working out with kettlebells, and I would recommend the CAP kettlebells to anyone.

The enamel coating has cracked in a couple of spots upon arrival, thankfully not on the handles, hopefully the durability in that area is okay.

Strong, easy to grasp. Worth the money.
