Razor X:
Has anyone here ever worked out using kettlebells?  The Fox Reality Channel ran a marathon of The Biggest Loser UK over Thanksgiving and that was one of the primary tools used in training the contestants.   Coincidentally, I also saw a segment about them on the local news a few days earlier.  Prior to that I'd never heard of them.  I'm thinking about giving them a try and was wondering if anyone else here knew anything about them.

Tyler:
I don't think I know what they are. 

Razor X:
It's sort of like a cannonball with a handle:

Tyler:
Hmm, interesting.  Seems like it would be hard to balance.

You're supposed to stand holding the bell down by your knees and thrust forward and lift it to shoulder level with your arms straight out in front of you.  It's supposed to be a great ab exercise.  I imagine you could do some serious damage to your back if your form wasn't good.
