Kettlebells

Have you seen the newest exercise item called Kettlebells? It is a fancy hand weight dumbbell that is suppose to change the way you work out. Where have I heard that one before? Other than holding the weight a different way I see nothing unusual about it. What might make a difference in the exercise package they sell with the weights. A ton of DVD's and workbooks. Of course what I need is a personal trainer right beside me, telling me to get off my fat a$$ and workout more often.

To me workout DVD's are fun to watch but I seldom actualy exercise right along with them more than once or twice.
