I need to find something to get stronger and back into shape. I've heard kettlebell workouts are fun and get good results. I've just been looking at Amazon and there are SO many. Can anyone recommend one? I'm probably somewhere in between beginner and intermediate fitness-wise. TIA.
Jillian Michaels Shred it with Weights is a Kettlebell DVD and there are beginner and advanced exercises. My husband and I do it together :)
A friend of mine said she also does Jillian Michael's kettlebell workout. She said it kicked her in the bum! ;-)
HTH,

I third Jillian's shred it with weights, it's all core/hips/arms
And fun.... Well as fun as it can be
Before you even buy anything, have you tried looking online? There are tons of workouts posted on YouTube. My husband is always on the alert for a new way to mix up his workouts and he discovered, by accident really, that there are a lot of good workouts with new and fresh ideas on youtube. The first one he found was for using a stability ball. But I am sure there are probably tons of kettlebell workouts too. And for what it's worth, my husband was going to buy a kettlebell to work out with himself (although he needs the really $$$$ kind, because he wanted a 50 lb AND a 75 lb kettlebell) but realized that he really CAN do the same thing just using one of his dumbbells. So if you haven't spent the $$ already, and you have some dumbbells already lying around, you might try stuff out that way before spending money you don't HAVE to.
Just a thought...

I would look into an instructor. You have to have good posture and positioning or you can really hurt yourself. A couple of times with an instructor will help you with this. Then you can go on your own after that. You can throw your back out pretty bad if it's done incorrectly.
