Personally, I think a lot of these magazines are always itching to tell people about a new way of training because they repeat themselves often. I think kettleballs definitely offer some benefits. However, they have their limitations. Their weight isn't adjustable -- so if you are ready to increase the weight on a certain exercise you have to take it in larger increments. This might be good if you can tolerate that sort of training, but me, I have to go up in 2 - 5 pound increments. Also, there are only so many exercises you can do with kettleballs. Try bench pressing them sometime. They make a nice toy, but I wouldn't consider it the "core" of my training. You'll do better buying a set of dumbbells and an adjustable bench. Good luck.
