I recommend that most women can start with an 8 kg/18-lb kettlebell, while fit women can begin with a 12 kg/26-lb kettlebell. A male starting to work out should begin with a 16 kg/35-lb kettlebell, while a fit man can begin with a 24 kg/53-lb kettlebell. This is my opinion, based upon my experiences.
The kettlebell or girya (Russian: Ð³Ð¸ÌÑÑ) is a cast-iron or cast steel weight (resembling a cannonball with a handle) used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. The dead snatch or true snatch begins with the bell on the ground. 2  The lunge snatch lowers into a lunge while the bell goes to the overhead position. 3  Strict press: Also called the military press or standing press, the kettlebell is held in the rack position and pushed overhead with one arm, keeping the body rigid.
