2. Starting Kettlebell Workouts
Kettlebell workouts are a great way to be active, build muscle, and save time. They are fun, exciting and don’t take all day to get done. What’s better is how compact they are, taking up a tiny amount of space at home, compared to a big treadmill, or home gym equipment.
The book has some great suggestions on kettlebell workouts, and to get started you only need 1 or 2 kettlebells at home.
Book Chapter
“Building the Perfect Posterior”
Before you get going, you want to make sure you’re not going to get sore hands or wrists. I recommend using a padded grip and wrist support system that I like to use for all of my workouts. It’s called ‘NewGrips’ and they’re better than workout gloves for a few reasons. They’re more flexible, more padded, and don’t get hot and sweaty like gloves do. Plus, they’re out of the way quickly when you need to do something.
I made a video review of these grips - you can see it here.

Hey guys, I started the exercises with kettlebell from the book, and they are making me feel great, i can feel the change and people is starting to notice =) BUT MY WEIGHT HASN’T CHANGE A LOT, I KNOW IM GAINING MUSCLE, BUT MY PRIORITY IS THE WEIGHT. SO I FIND IT A LITTLE BIT CONTRADICTORY IN MY CASE, I DON’T KNOW IF IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG. BY THE WAY I DO THE DIET TOO. HOPE U CAN HELP ME.
THANK U AND GOD BLESS!
Hey Gaby,
Good on you for getting started! It is a usual result, if you’re gaining muscle and losing fat, to not see the scales not change too much. I’m confused why your priority is weight – are you in a sport that limits competitors according to weight? If not, weight is not nearly as good an indicator of health, or good looks, as is bodyfat percentage, strength and blood work. Slow carb with workouts will reduce bodyfat, increase strength and result in better blood results for most people (blood pressure, cholesterol). Keep focused on inches measurements around your body to see the changes – and remember that 1lb of muscle can be barely visible, but 1lb of fat generally can be noticed, because it is much less dense.
Keep at it and in a few months you will have a very different body!
All the best,
Luke
