If you're keeping up with the fitness trends, you'll have noticed that Kettlebells are all the rage these days. Made of cast-iron and shaped like tea pots, these fitness accessories are the newest 'must have' in your home gym, and it's not because they look so cute. They'll turbo-charge your workout (and your heart-rate) and give you more than your money's worth.

OK, so you're interested, but what do you actually do with these hunks of weight? Simple -- squats, dead-lifts and curls. Once you've got the hang of the kettlebell, you can try some specific kettlebell workouts. Here are a few helpful sources to get you started:

• The Kettlebell Fat Burning Workout from Nutrition Data
  
• A review of the Kettlebell Workout from the Times Online
• The Total Body Kettlebell Workout from Women's Health

As for prices? You're looking at anywhere from $25 to $125 per kettlebell, but it's money well-spent if you ask me.
