Well, knew about them for a while, but finally ordered one and my 16kg (35 pound) iron kettlebell arrived today. Did a workout - and wow! Intensive. Really good. Definitely a way to burn fat and build some lean and athletic muscle. Discovered kettlebells today.

I then started doing high intensity exercises and multi-join exercises and everything changed. Building up my largest muscles (and therefore metabolism) in a high intensity fashion has stripped about 10 pounds more of fat off (obviously you've gotta eat well) but I thought this tip might help others!

Interesting stuff. I had a questions re the Incline barbell press. I have decent lower chest def but light upper and have been trying to do incline presses to work on the section but dont feel the impact on the upper pecs when I'm lifting. Is this improper technique/bench angle or is it just a matter of time and I should stick with it? Thanks, Mobs Hey Rusty,

For the upper body it is enough to do 3 sets of 5 reps of shoulder presses and shoulder width grip overhand pulldowns to the chest. For the lower body and for losing fat - find an eating plan that allows you to eat less. You can go low carb. Personally, my favorite plan eating plan is Eat Stop Eat. For the legs - if Barbell Squats bulk your thighs too much, try bulgarian squats, wall squats... For losing fat with exercsise - follow Rusty's tried plan - http://fitnessblackbook.com/low-body-fat-percentage/ Good Luck!

With the economy in the gutter, it is the best time to get in shape (eat less!) and focus on things that really matter...health and happiness. Its so true that stating one exercise is better than another is impossible to do since everyones body is different (and responds differently). I am going clubbing for Halloween, and my friends and I are all dressing in sexy costumes...why not? All the hard work we put into getting into good shape pays off when you're trying on next to nothing and all the "lazy people" standing around staring are somewhat envious. I hope it motivates them to get on the bike, treadmill, whatever and work up a sweat because not only is it good for confidence, but also health.

Every exercise routine for women seems geared towards giving us these massive amazon-woman thighs! Doing the traditional sets of arm exercises left me with huge biceps and forearms (really not attractive for a female) and the slightest thing like a cardio workout at an incline will bulk up my calves. I've been so discouraged by what happens to my body when I exercise that I have almost given it up completely except for hot vinyasa/ashtanga yoga classes here and there. I hate this because I really love the feeling after a really good gym workout, it really is therapy. So my question is, what do you suggest for someone who doesn't need to lose much weight (I'm 5'6 and 110 pounds, I prefer to be around 107-108 it just looks better) but would like to drop a couple of inches off the thighs and hips and gain some tone without sacrificing slender limbs? hi Rusty,

I don't really like bent over barbell rows. I do feel them - I just can't seem to master the technique enough to increase my weight. However, I don't find the exercise ineffective. I just tend to avoid it because I don't like it which goes back to Adam Steer's comment. Because of this I still try to throw bent over barbell rows into my workout occassionally because I know I need to get better at it. I agree with quite a few of the commentors here.
