Yes, I think 1 of each is quite sufficient for getting started. You’ll likely use them for different things as you progress. Good luck!

When you recommend women get an 8 and a 12 kg kettlebell to start, is it ok to get only 1 of each?

Your advice on starting weights, considering gender differences, and the detailed breakdown of kettlebell styles provide a solid foundation for making an informed decision. The emphasis on technique over weight to avoid injury is especially appreciated.

Paperweights? Not much else. I could maybe make an argument for 2kg or 4kg Dumbbells, but that’s for rehab! Most healthy adults can lift 4kg+. KB training usually starts with 8kg for women.

Thank you, Marianne.

I am now up to 16kg on snatches and getups for 10-20 reps, hopefully progressing soon to 24kg for swings. I have followed your form guidance and workouts to good results. (PS: I am male, weigh 60kg at 1.80m, so a thin frame.)

I may try the other style of kettlebell for my next set. They seem easier on the wrist for snatches.

Thank you.

What weight are the white kettlebells you use for snatches? Are they 40kg?

Thank you
