Kettlebell training can be a great way to lose weight, tone up the body, and stay in shape once you get it there, along with the added benefits mentioned above.
And not only that, kettlebell workouts may be better for you than regular traditional weights. In one of his books, Pavel mentions some of the fitness tests that were used to compare kettlebell training to traditional workouts. The kettlebell trainers seemed to be in much better shape according to Pavel. And Pavel would know - You can see a picture of Pavel on his web site as well as his books and DVDs. The guy is well muscled and toned for someone that avoids traditional "weight training" like the plague.
