Russian Kettlebells

I recently purchased an adjustable kettlebell for the purposes of experimentation. It is said that kettlebells are a great cardio exercise and as well as being a strength and joint training tool as well. If it works out I will probably buy a fixed weight bell as those are more comfortable to use. I set the kettlebell up with 42 pounds of weight on it, and learned some basic kettlebell drills like presses, snatches, swings, and cleans. Today I did an intense 15 minute workout for a starter, and tomorrow I will move up to 30 minutes. I found the workout to be interesting due to the novelty of the exercises. It really ramped up my heart rate fast, and challenged my strength somewhat. The kettlebell is effectively a cannonball with a handle. It was used by 19th and early 20th century strongmen as a strength drill, and is still in active use in Russia. It is currently enjoying a comeback in America. It has a primitive quality about it that is aesthetically pleasing. I am pleased with the quality of the workout so far and I plan to stick with it for a few months. Has anyone else here tried the kettlebell?

Never used them, but from the looks of that picture it seems as though they would be murder on the wrist. I'd think a dumbell would allow a more even weight distribution.

Kettlebells develop a strong wrist because you are supposed to keep the wrist in line with the arm and hand at all times. Dumbbells are good, but kbells actually work different muscles. They are a similar tool for a different job.
