Thank you! I've done a bit of kettlebell stuff in circuits / classes years ago, but it will definitely be a cheaper option than an ongoing gym membership in future (and one that takes up far less space than a rack and a bench)
The real world strength is exactly what I am after :)
My pleasure. I like the simplicity of the kettlebell too. If you go on an extended road trip all you really need to bring is that one piece of equipment.
