Oh sorry Justin I didn't answer the how much question.  If you get a pair of
the handles there is an online place called ironwoddy.com that sells some
decent ones for around $50 a pair.  If you choose to go with solid bells do
your research they ain't cheap. I have been able to get them onsale for
$1.30 per pound but have seen them as high as $3.00 per pound.
Bill
try gym source and usa kettlebell  dragon door makes real nice ones but they
are probably the highest priced

Hay Ashley,
Its Bill,
A kettlebell looks very much like a metal tea kettle or picture a cast iron
bowling ball with a suitcase type handle welded on top also of iron.  Many
of the movements using kettlebells are based on olympic style lifting and
are fast and explosive and work most of the major muscle groups of the body
all at one time.
They are one of the oldest forms of weight training dating back to the 1700s
I believe.  I have heard storys of old time strong men also throwing them
fordistance in compatition.
They have become popular in the past ten years and a big part of the
"functional training" trend that is so popular now.  In other words doing
exercises that actually will enhance another activity in life.  Conventional
weight training  as most people do it entales doing isolation movements for
the bicep or chest or whatever specific body part which will improve that
area but not really change the whole packege but the kettlebell movements
like the swing or clean and press involve many muscles working together as
well as giving the nervous system and the cardio vascular system a serious
kick.
I have seen studys that indicate an intense kettlebell workout of 15-20
minutes will do more to stimulate fat loss than 30-45 minutes of moderate
intensity conventional cardio on a treadmill or bike.
They are fun to work with as well
I believe she meant cross fit.
Bill

Hello,
I've heard of these  things being used at some gyms.
Jody or anyone, if you used them, what are they like? Can you describe the
deminsion or point to a video? I have some vision and may be able to see it
if it was taken in decent lighting. Are they shaped like a bell or what?

I'm not too familiar with fitness trends. So, what is crossfire?

Kettle bells are popular in crossfire too.
