Kettlebell Training for Females?

Many females are under the (misguided) notion that lifting kettlebells is not for them as that it is something that big, strong boys do. This is correct and incorrect simultaneously - in that big, strong boys do lift kettlebells but so do savvy, fit, healthy,lean, strong females.

There is no piece of fitness kit that can melt fat, shape, tone, strengthen and condition like the kettlebell (except perhaps some suspension trainers,  but they make very poor door stops!). 

I repeat there is no piece of fitness kit..............

Traditional female fitness often includes endless (and mindless!) cardio, back to back classes and a few sets of tricep kickbacks to tame the dreaded bingo wings.  Strength training (with built in cardio) does not figure in most females training, mainly because they think they will end up looking like the guys on the front cover of Muscle and Fitness. This doesn't happen because you ladies do not possess the testosterone levels to build lean muscle  like some men. Simply put, to gain a pound of lean tissue requires the following ; approximately 3,500+ calories, 10-12 times more testosterone than you produce and a lot of hard work.
