I found your site today and have enjoyed reading your entries. I'm almost 67, and I started with kettlebells a couple of weeks ago. I used to use barbell and dumbells, but stopped when I was about 50. My wife gave me little a 10 lb. KB as a surprise present. I liked the feel and the kinetic difference between a kettlebell and dumbells. I soon went looking for a larger toy and got a 25 lb. unit. I 'll give the 25-pounder some thorough use before considering a heavier unit. Based on the feel of the different handle finishes, I find that I like a rounder, smoother grip area. What's a good way to ready myself for a sufficiently heavier KB? I know I can use a towel to "string" the 25 and 10 lb. units together for 2-handed swings, and I could even add a couple of 5 lb. plates for a bigger load. I really want to avoid spending more than necessary. Any other suggestions? Good post! I found your site today and have enjoyed reading your entries.
