Thread: What are the benefits of kettlebell training?

I am considering signing up for a kettlebell training class. It is twice a week for 1 1/2 hours a session. What are the benefits? Strength? Flexibility? Weight loss?

Specifically, for the ladies, if you have taken a kettlebell class, did you enjoy it?

Does anyone else think 1 1/2 hours is a long time?

Kettlebells are really good strength-wise and very good for fat-burning. I just ordered my first kettlebell a few nights ago. I'm really excited to get it. Just ask the Russians, they are the world leaders in strength and athletics. Every russion soldier in their military is standard issued a 53 lb kettlebell for training.
