I lost some of my rotater cuff from an infection. How can I determine if I can use kettlebells?

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

After consulting your doctor and given green light, definitely give the Turkish Getups, Arm Bar and shoulder presses a go. I'd suggest learning the proper techniques via an RKC or Strongfirst instructor and NOT via YouTube...there's a lot CR@P out there and you may not know which one is the "right" one to follow.Oh yeah for got to mention I had shoulder reconstruction surgery years ago and no problem. I even practice balistic type movements but would not suggest that for you until you mastered above exercises first.

I suggest you speak to an orthopedic specialist. Everyone is different. I had shoulder surgery to repair a damaged rotator cuff and I use kb regularly. But, you should speak to an orthopedist.

I believe there was one available. I don't know if it was extra. I used mine the way the doctor showed me for tennis elbow.

Cover it until healed cleanse daily can get staph infection if not careful; stay away from public gym until completely healed.

Yes Paula,go ahead and contact body by jake or Amazon and order you another so when it's fixed,it can be like it never broke!!! You don't and never wanna try and exercise and or operate it with a broken piece because something may happen and cause Injury to you and we don't want that.. I hope I answered your question!!

Hi. I bought what I found was similar to what was used at the Physical Therapy place I went for my shoulder and back injury. I like the tubes better than the bands. My husband built me a workout station at home that allows me to move the bands to different levels on the board for different exercises. I can do leg and arm exercises in one location, standing or sitting.

Most agree you're not prone to injury using these. I would keep your rotator cuff strong though - try some of the ex's in the book "Bulletproof Your Shoulder".

I purchased a set that contains 5, 10 and 15 kettle bells. The weight to use depends on your current strength. If just starting use the lighter weights and after workouts you will be able to determine the best weight for each workout. Purchased the three kettle bells for about $35 at Walmart. I used the 15 lb most of the time. Will be buying heavier weights later. Just depends on your strength and capability.

I'd make the guess that it would be better to wait until you finger heals, then exercise it? The red hand gripper is really good, I do about 80 reps with each hand and get that forearm burn going....

My advice is to contact the manufacturer or your physical therapist/ trainer. I got these for my wife on advice fr her physical therapist.

I would suggest you go with a travel iron as they are the lightest in weight.When your shoulder recovers to your being comfortable with a little weight, then the Oliso would be perfect. I have fractured my right shoulder years ago, cannot lift this arm comfortably over my head and enjoy using the Oliso without pain. It is a wonderful appliance. Donna

I don't think so. I got error message many time as my old cuff and i did not use it. The seller refused to send me return label (for free shipping). Amazon did refund my money instead of seller.

Jan says:Does anyone know if I can get a small adult cuff for my OMRON 780 N-2 Model?

I have used it during boot camp, didn't really do what I needed. However, I found out I have a torn tendon, so I have a boot cast on which is helping. I figured when it heals I can go back to this for support.

I use 15-45 lbs depending on the move. I have six kettlebells so I can switch because different moves use different weights. Since this is cardio based, I usually end up sticking to 20 lbs throughout most of the workouts. You may want to use 20-25lbs.

I use a 10 pound kettlebell myself. That weight works well, seems to be heavy enough to feel the workout but not too heavy so that you can't perform the exercises.

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.
