Recently I ran across an old issue of National Geographic/Adventure and was surprised to see some info on kettlebells. It was in the Feb. 2006 issue so it is a bit outdated -

Below is the excerp of the blurb:
Back to Basics - Kettlebells:
A staple of Russian fitness regimens since the 18th century, this cousin to a cannonball delivers a blistering strength workout. The classic kettlebell swing works almost every major muscle in the body ($100 for 18 pounds (8 kilograms), pictured below left; $90 for 35 pounds (16 kilograms); http://www.russiankettlebells.com/). To improve your form and learn other exercises, check out the well-done and comically named instructional videos Cruel and Unusual Kettlebell Exercises for Real Men ($40) and From Russia With Tough Love ($30).
Pretty cool to start seeing info on the bells popping up in unusual places.
My workout log for the last 16 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.
