Is it a good idea to have two kettle balls for workouts?

Yes. When you increase your strength with the workouts, you can gradually introduce a heavier kettle bell for parts of your workout. I started with a 5 lb and then gradually introduced a 7 lb. I am now working out with a 7 lb, but I have started using a 10 lb for a few of the exercises. Switching between two weights helps me to have a successful workout.

For me, I feel it's very important. Some moves I can do with the heavier weight. While other moves it's best for me to lighten my weight. You'll LOVE these. They are so comfortable to use.

Yes, because certain moves need a lighter bell and other moves can be done with a heavier one (such as a squat). Plus these contour bells are much more comfortable to work with.

It is definitely a good idea to have two kettle bells of the same weight. It greatly increases the number of different workouts you can do. However, if you are new to the kettle bell I would recommend starting with one at a weight you are comfortable with (test with a dumb bell). When it feels like you are ready to increase the weight, get one of the same weight for double kettle bell workouts and a single heavier one for single workouts.There are a wide variety of workouts available on You Tube.

Yes, absolutely. I use them for 30-minute kickboxing workouts which require a somewhat tight fist so they would defintely work for making a loose fist for jogging.

yes you can, however it's made for 2, I'd recommend a single bag if you have only 1 bowling ball

You may also consider buying two, one light and one medium. That way you save on shipping.Exercise advice: If you want to exercise during the day at your desk, all-day then go for a light one. If you set a particular time to exercise your hands then choose a higher tension.

Personally I call them small. You can easily fit the two in a hand and actually almost completely close your hand over a single one. For reference they're smaller than your normal racquet ball you'd see in a gym. I have a zippo lighter and the balls are about as wide as one of them.

No, but same quality and taste. Go for at least 12. Add a second 12 to double up production and at the least give you a backup. Put each on separate 30 amp breakers. People buy in droves so cook early and often. Buy a warmer to handle the droves. Any higher than 12 and you will have to plug the machine into a 220 outlet. In this case, might as well skip 16 and go for 20. 20 will give you a little more than twice the amount of servings per hour than an 8. 16 will not give you twice per hour than an 8 like you would expect. Larger kettle requires a little longer cook time.

One should be enough. But if you are looking for crush proof balls these are not it. My 9 month old could bite them and step on them and they collapsed. I was very disappointed.

I wouldn't use kettlebells at all actually. Consult your physician as to some alternate exercises. Try resistance bands.

It depends on your condition. When I first did this workout, I used a 7-pounds kettlebell. One month later (when I got stronger), I upgraded to 8 pounds. Now after an year, I used 10 pounds.

Hi Ron, The KettleGuards are sold as a pair. You want to wear one on each wrist during your workout as you'll swing the bell on both the left and right sides. Enjoy!

I use them for regular mugs, the taste is strong. I think in a small kettle it'd be ok. I'd use two for a big kettle as my huge mug seems to be a lighter taste.

I never did kettlebells before this. If you have not exercised you might have to make adjustments and start with light kettlebells. I am in my late 50's and quickly moved up into 15 lb. kettlebells. I think it depends on what level of weights you are used to.

Get a newspaper and crunch it into a ball with one hand.You will get a better overall grip workout than a coc and its free!!girls can rep the no 2.!!

I would say it's for women primarily. The moves are quick-paced so you have to use a lighter kettle bell.

That's a very good question which I don't have an answer to. However, I would certainly try it and if it worked, it would be amazing. I still can't believe how quick and easy it was/is to pump up exercise balls!

Kettlebell is good at slimming and reducing body mass or girth while adding tone and muscular definition. If you don't mind losing some girth/weight, then kettlebell is the way to go. If you want to bulk up, then traditional/classical weight lifting is what you want and you may choose to do kettlebell once a week for definition and also for aerobic/cardio to round out your total workout routine if you're not doing much aerobic or cardio. Kettlebell is also a pretty low impact activity, so if you have any previous injuries you may want to look into kettlebell depending on what those injuries are. Here is a good article on kettlebells http://www.livestrong.com/article/556222-how-to-use-kettlebells-not-bulk-up/

You could use bands but I think the dumbbells are a better workout. 2 sets of two different weights would be a good start and then more later as you get stronger. As far as how heavy?, that's up to your current strength level but starting lighter is smarter as you are required to use them and focus on balance at the same time. I recommend a chin up bar but it does not need to be fancy. I also recommend the medicine balls. I bought an 8# and 10# ball which has its advantages and disadvantages. I have 2 different weights to use with the different exercises but when you have to use them both, the two sizes make it asymmetrical but still workable. I may buy another one of each since 4 balls come in handy for the later workouts. I really enjoy rolling out the muscle groups and think a foam roller is important but it does not need to be expensive. Cheap ones may get flattened after a short while so I wouldn't get too cheap with this item. Hope this helps.
