I googled a picture of a kettlebell and instantly felt a phantom twinge in my right foot, where I'd be doomed to drop it. I like the weight machines. Purists may dismiss them, but since I've never had any formal instruction I'd better stick with easymode!

They work quite differently than regular weights.. I'd be surprised if you dropped one on your toe :)

YouTube has lots of videos showing people doing Kettlebell exercises. It will be different than you think :)

I get it though.. big lumps of iron with handles on them. Oof.

Hmmmmm... I'm afraid I do cook like a girl. I tend to use sugar and spice and everything nice more often than snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.
