any form of fitness is better than nothing and i am sure they will get you some results but for me i stick to my Barbell and Dumbbells and other free weight equipment i have in my home gym. I do not really think swinging a Kettlebell will work you like running for fat loss. I think they could/can be an aid to training but not for Bodybuilding and sculpting your body. If you like them then do it but i will stick to a more standard approach to building muscle.

Probably are overrated.

But are probably fun if you want to take a break from your usual workout and focus more on fitness.

The principles of weight training have not changed over the years.. it´s about pushing more weight and PROGRESSION..sure you can do more reps/superset...etc,etc...but a plate loading Dumbbell is so much more versatile. I have had years ago great results from 2 plate loading dumbbells and a flat bench. I really loved the workouts i did with this very basic set up..the point being..it was progressive resistance and overload.

yes. overrated.  the swinging that most people do with kettlebells, is a very good way to get hurt.

If you do it right it is a good wya to get strong and fit!

I think they are fun for cardio, but wouldn't use them for strength training. All the marketing and advertisements just push it to the masses.

Pressing a 48kg (approx 110lbs) kb is much harder than pressing a 110lb DB

Does not make it better. Just different.

Using virtually any weight incorrectly is a good way to get hurt...
just easier with certain tools then others.
