Hi all.
Finally got my first kettlebell. Can see now why kettlebells are so highly regarded. Did some swings and TGUs the day it arrived and of all things that could hurt, my neck was hurting the next day. Bought S&S and read it carefully, some parts many times over, and have finally started using the kettlebell. It is awesome. Had tried some swings earlier using dumbbells, but they never felt right and the back always hurt after using them. This has a totally different feel to it, closer to martial arts than to exercise. After the first workout, the back was sore in a good way as if I had done some high-rep back workout. The hamstrings were also feeling the same. Totally worth it.
I know it reads like a young kid's excitement (and I am not a young kid by any standard), but that is how I feel about it. Just thought I'd share with the folks over here.
