What began as a simple addition to my coaching routine quickly transformed into a passion that reshaped my life in ways I never anticipated. The kettlebell became more than just a piece of equipment; it became a tool for personal growth, both physically and mentally.

I started KBs in October of 2023 in order to do something different than the traditional weight training I’ve been doing my entire life and in order to help my golf game. It has helped my flexibility and functional strength tremendously and quite honestly is a lot more fun. I turned 75 this past February. So it ain’t too late to start.

[@stu1wyatt]

I just wanted to say it's fantastic to hear all the over 50s and over 60s enjoying their KB workouts, as someone at 47 it's really inspiring to see age not being a barrier , thanks for sharing

[@cocovasquez1]

Kettlebells for life!! 50 years old and loving my KB workouts!! This channel is my go too!

[@MVK_GS]

Same.

[@maylynnod6714]

I am a 46 yr old woman and never been fitter in my life. I started Working out with KB during lockdown (starting with a 6kg, then 8kg and now 12kg) and been on it since then. When I discovered your channel, I did all the follow along videos and still do, along with listening to the podcasts and learning a lot. KB is for everyone and I encourage women to pick it up. Thank you Guys for all, you are giants ❤

[@iamkendraofficial2174]

And it’s for everyone and anyone! I’m 62 next week and the best shape of my life! ❤

[@weiweia0303]

I'm a 40-year-old male from Taiwan with a background in swimming, shot put and basketball. I've been training with kettlebells for about a decade. I stumbled upon your channel and subscribed after watching a few videos. I greatly appreciate your sharing of technique, training philosophy, workout programs, and your discussions with other experts. I will continue to use kettlebells as my primary training tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@mddreher4628]

I'm into KB training for about 8 years now. When Cov19 forced all the gyms to close, I've switched from lifting weights to swinging the KB completely. Now I'm training in my own home gym and focus on thr KB and body weight training. I've lost some muscle mass, but I was able to gain strength, mobility and technique. I ran half marathons in about 1:40, I was able to learn climbing, it improved my boxing and I saved hours and hours of lifetime. I do not need to go to a gym for about more than one hour anymore. I train every day at home for about 30 to 45 min. I can even do that at lunch break.

[@medwido]

former endurance athlete here, i picked up a 16kg KB 7 months ago thanks to your vids and enthusiasm. i ve only done swings to supplement body weight exercises, c3-4x week 10/15mins. my body has transformed: core & grip strength, much better posture and it seems to have healed my long lasting shoulder injury. fantastic content, thanks a million

[@utubepunk]

Just got done with my kettlebell workout (90 Gains, Week 10, Workout A) & a 3 mile walk. 💪

[@edw2241]

That's awesome! I'm on the same program. I just finished week six. I also ruck 2 miles a day with a 30-pound pack.

[@utubepunk]

@@edw2241 Oh nice! You ruck 2 miles daily with 30 lbs?! 😳 Dayum! Impressive! Turns out I am my own ruck. 😅

[@ScottMunro44]

Where are these workouts located?

[@edw2241]

​@@ScottMunro44They are on the his website. It's a pay once program.

[@billbredeck1249]

Tremendous content and as a kb user since 2002 I can say that at 66 years old I’m in the best shape and enjoying my workouts more each passing year.

[@graemerowe264]

I've just turned 65 and have incorporated kettlebell training in my workouts. I absolutely love them. Keep up your videos.

[@johnfreeman1272]

I attribute my fledgling journey with kettlebells at age 68 to you and Pavel.

[@trusoljahs]

Best Video. I came from powerlifting. And now I am over 40, KB and steel clubs are now my main gym for the rest of my life. Also, I think being able to work out outside of gym is the best. KB is my gym for the rest of my life.

[@edgecosta3394]

Thanks for all Lebe Stark.

[@davidmoltrup51]

I'm 47. I started doing the 15 minute workout for absolute beginners four weeks ago. Last week I fell down some stairs at home, and ended up with 2 'transverse process fractures'. My doctor told me yesterday that if I hadn't been working out, I very likely would have fracturef four of these bones, and very possibly my hip as well! Going to be a while before I can start working out again, but I am looking forward to it!

[@lebe-stark]

Godspeed on your recovery, David! 🔥

[@MVK_GS]

@lebe stark, I started using kettlebells earlier this year. I have come into your channel multiple times to gain your insight into this field of exercise. I have gained tremendous knowledge from you and others. At my age, kettlebells have revolutionized my fitness. I am fitter today than I was anytime in my younger years, and it totally shows. Many thanks to you and those like you.

[@nicholasb2218]

This is great. So much of this gets lost in conversations about "optimization", chasing arbitrary numbers on lifts, and social media in general. Most of us probably don't want to be body builders or elite power lifters.

[@cocovasquez1]

Lebe Stark student here and living the Kettlebell life! Never felt better and I’ve been training kettlebells for 8 years at 50 years old and will continue on this awesome journey of Kettlebells.

[@cappy0023]

Great video. I JUST started with Kettlebells 3 weeks ago after 25 years of bodybuilding training. I bought a 12KG and a 16KG bell and I'm already looking to buy a 24KG. As crazy as it sounds, I feel more stable and stronger through my torso than I have in years - this after a mere 3 weeks of learning the swing, clean, press, and snatch. I'm 54 years young and look forward to dialing in a more athletic frame.

[@Andy-828.]

Nicely presented.

[@cochomotion]

I took a kettleben in November 2021 for the first time when I saw an offer from black frydai. Then watch your video and return to the store to buy it. All your videos are of great value to me. I managed to get the Kb movement in my local area and participated in a 10' snatch where I felt like I was competing representing LS. KZbin home where I learned to snatch. I got 2 second place with 181 reps. It was fun to have all the enthusiasts of this sport get together. thanks again. I would also recommend that you start competing. What you say about competencies is true. I do not sympathize with competitions. but it was a way to help expand this sport while meeting and meeting great people. I am currently preparing a 10'long cycle Saludos desde caracas venezuela .

[@marcusabele6670]

Great vid for everyone who is interessiert in KB. Go one Lebestark!

[@Person333free]

I appreciate all the follow along videos. Very empowering!!!

[@swan11112]

This was a very informative and encouraging video for all the newbies, including myself. What was interesting to me is that KB training makes you lose some muscle mass instead of gaining. I thought that it would do the opposite, considering it's known for building strength (I guess anyone who's new would think so at first.) My main want is that I want to lose fat while gaining strength....and some muscle so I thank you for indicating that bodyweight exercises are good with KB training! I just need to find out how much bodyweight training I need while continuing with the kettlebell. I'm 46 and trying to keep as much muscle mass as I can. I will get back to the E-book I received in hopes I can dig deeper.

[@lancehogle6228]

I have trained and competed in kettlebell sport for about 15 years now. I love using the bells!

[@Njalgreybeard]

Excellent video Gregory. Keep it coming!

[@David-ym8kh]

Une vidéo très claire, complète, et qui fait réfléchir sur sa propre approche des entraînements. Merci.

[@geraldinecoupland4162]

Great video as always and blimey you both look different 🙌🏻

[@Mani_Matter]

One of the best natural bodybuilder

[@cornelius2198]

thanks for sharing your experience and your knowledge. I agree. I am with KB for four years, now doing 30minute HIIT KB workouts, which are always hard to do, but then you are done. It's the easiest way to stay in shape and does not require much time nor money.

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

Kettlebells are the most efficient, effective and fun fitness tool I've ever experienced. It torches fat fast, builds all sport endurance and strength, functional fitness...it has it all. There's a reason it's been called the "thinking person's workout." I feel like people who try to discredit the superiority of KB training just haven't tried it, or haven't used it consistently for long enough, because truly, the proof is in the pudding. I get inspired and try other things that promise "the best" results (for women anyway) like pilates, barre toning, yada yada, but all they do is steer me back to the bells. Love your content guys. Blessings!

[@CynsCorner]

Enjoyment of training ... that's a good way to put it. I have been into exercise and fitness for my entire life, since my teen years, when Arnold Schwarzenegger served as a huge inspiration for me. It is part of my life. It is who I am. But yes, training with kettlebells has been so interesting and enjoyable that it's still so much fun to see how each workout goes and where I might be able to progress.

[@waywardson1663]

Thanks for this video! Very good for motivation!

[@diang1984]

Love your work! Keep it up Hero!

[@jacob-shaffer]

New pair of running shorts just dropped folks! This time they're red instead of blue!

[@risto3425]

The thumbnail is wrong lol

[@RickLindstrom]

I was confused as well. I started watching just to look at the comments. He did stay he used to do body building but switched to kettlebells. So the thumbnail is accurate. It isn’t the ideal endorsement of kettlebells.

[@DreamTerrorist]

God I love kettlebells. When I first started training I did only bodyweight until I built a solid foundation and then went onto kettlebells after seeing people use them. I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with them and became interested in the movements, so I had to buy one. My intention with getting fit was never really about building mass. Of course I wanted to get bigger, but I started training for my health and general fitness. I always wanted to be able to be a jack of all trades, I never just wanted to be big and strong. I also wanted mobility, flexibility, endurance etc. and I think that's why I attracted to kettlebells, and I attracted to them before I even knew they provided all those things! I absolutely loved the process of learning all the techniques (and still continue to learn), pushing through the discomfort and bruised forearms. I think a lot of people can't connect with bells because they feel so foreign when you start using them, but you just have to stick with it. It's like learning how to ride a bike, it takes time to understand. I love the way I train now: kettlebells, calisthenics, and natural movement/flow/primal movement. It encompasses everything I need and want in fitness. I've never been to a gym and wouldn't want to train any other way!

[@doersphysique]

Stark Greg Salute 💪🏾

[@ryanclements5336]

Thank you

[@patrickrobertson3120]

u rock sir...i feel so strong from using kettlebells.

[@brunorocha4516]

Could you please make a video explaining the benefits of kettlebell halo?

[@maartenvanophem5806]

If I understand correctly you have been training for (at least) 5 years straight with kettlebells. How do you ensure your body gets enough rest to (re)build and recover if you have limited off days?

[@Kmasse8]

How would KB training make you lose muscle mass?

[@RezoUI]

Kettlebell is cool but most of guys will always prefer bodybuilding method to workout, cuz most guys prefer to gain muscles fast then quality of muscles and health.

[@OfficialLeverKing]

A balanced approach looks something like, a period of hypertrophy training to increase muscle mass, a period of power lifting to increase maximum strength output, and a period of strength endurance with kettlebells. You can repeat this cycle twice a year with ample deloads and really do some monumental changes to your body. Everyone has different goals, and some people desperately need mass, because muscle mass is the single biggest influence on hormone regulation.

[@Cassp0nk]

Looked better in the before pic!

[@marquesstar1010]

true

[@Rotundalover]

It was a joke my man.

[@huggeebear]

Gregory, I’m midway through 30 days of KB , and my elbow hurts 😖😩 I don’t wanna give up after just getting going.

[@pck1166]

Nehmen sie nicht zu hohe Gewichte. Viele Kettlebellübungen haben plyometrische Elemente (swings, jerks cleans) Schonen Sie Ihre Gelenke. Eitelkeit ist manchmal ein schlechter Ratgeber🤕

[@jasmine5691]

Thanks for this info, I had a question, I’ve been using kettlebells for a bit now, but my wrist hurts and around my thumb too .. I’m afraid if constantly having it hit my wrist on these moves that it will be damaging moving forward, do you recommended wrist guards OR do I just have bad form and lifting to heavy lol.

[@miketheno9333]

Well,ah,with all the reviews Ive read I have no formal training as to weights or kbs thats at 72 with 40hr work week what do you recommend?

[@coween]

Honestly Im scared to lift one hand a kettlebell as it my damaged my wrist as I had tendonitis last year

[@breedingpitmetal]

I'm a big Fan and I love your training ideas and principles but will you for the love of god stop encouraging people to deadlift 16 kg kettlebells

[@shawn4387]

That’s all some people can lift if there out of shape sad but true you do you and don’t worry about what other people can do

[@electrojackdeluxe]

Why didn't you mention your bro ?

[@defining.vitality]

KBs are fun to switch things up but not efficient.

[@lebe-stark]

Kettlebells produce results without wasting time or energy. That’s the epitome of efficiency.

[@justinsmith3981]

Depends on what your goals are. You get power, endurance, mobility, and conditioning and a fair amount of strength. Only thing more efficient that I could think of is Olympic lifting plus sprinting for that and that requires much more skill and gym or a ton of space.

[@yesitsthetruth1774]

And you also stacked gear...

[@lebe-stark]

My gear stack is kettlebells, bodyweight and hard work.

[@muanisgesla]

Are you still drinking protein shakes?

[@careycrews1]

Naw

[@gladoseus]

unnecessarily risky workout routine

[@ElMorbo-x2y]

Bang for buck. That’s it basically.

[@marquesstar1010]

your not looking better ;)

[@joaodeoliveira336]

Are you on steroids?

[@slipperyblueclay2521]

Joao, come on bro! It’s all natural with Gregorie!

[@grraf1]

Are you seeing capped&striated shoulders together with bovine like traps ?! since the answer to that is a solid NO its pretty safe to assume hes not on anything considering hes also not exactly huge...hes simply rather lean and that makes him appear somewhat bigger&ripped.

[@eid2483]

Nice 😍
