Kettlebells for Women: Workouts for Your Strong, Sculpted and Sexy Body

by Lauren Brooks

An Easy-To-Follow Program For Mastering The Wildly Popular Unstable Weights That Are Revolutionizing Body Sculpting For Women

Kettlebells, those strange teapot-shaped weights, are showing up in gyms everywhere for one simple reason—they have transformed strength training and the art of sculpting muscles. Illustrating 100 step-by-step exercises with more than 250 black-and-white photos, this book guides you though every aspect of kettlebell training and shows how to unleash their awesome potential to create lean, toned and shapely muscles. Unlike the classic stable dumbbell that works only a few muscles at a time, kettlebells because of their unwieldy shape require a myriad of muscles to fire during just a single action. The comprehensive workout plans in this book show you basic maneuvers like arm-toning curls and thigh-burning squats, then go on to more challenging exercises such as core-strengthening "windmills" and stomach-flattening "get-ups."

A good primer for use of kettlebells. Brooks provides a decent background on how kettlebells came to the US and talks about their growing popularity. The title qualifier "for Women" seems to be used because the models in the book are women, and there is some talk of women lifting during pregnancy, etc. Men can definitely learn some tips and tricks from this book too.
