Reconstruction, one of the most turbulent and controversial eras in American history, began during the Civil War and ended in 1877. It witnessed America's first experiment in interracial democracy.

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.
Expect a 90-calorie burn if you weigh 125 pounds and 133-calorie burn if you weigh 185 pounds. Do the traditional weight exercises with a kettlebell as a circuit, meaning you do a set of each exercise back-to-back with little or no rest, and burn about 30 calories more. Amp up your calorie burn even more by using the kettlebell to do dynamic exercises that require you to fire up the whole body.
