Thankfully it worked out great yesterday! No smashed toes! : ) A few boxes had almost disintegrated and were coming open though. This tile was made in Indonesia so the boxes were worse for the wear.

If you've never delved into the research on benefits of kettlebell exercises I'd highly recommend it. It gives you the advantage of cardio and strength training at once.

When I started I used this video:

Then I worked up to this one (when I have more time):

What I would advise is to start lighter (25-35lbs) in the beginning so you can concentrate on form. Form is everything when using kettlebells but I'm sure you already know that from using free weights. Even the basic kettlebell swing is deceptively simple—it's easy to get distracted and lapse into improper form.

What surprised me most about these workouts is how much real-world strength they give you and how quickly you begin to see results. My Vo2 Max score has also gotten way better since starting. I hope this helps!
