Product Description
40 pound Spacesaver Kettle Bell The Ultimate Combination of Cardio and Strenght Burn fat, Build Muscle, Increase Core Strenght, Boost Cardio Fitness
Personalize your workout with the Weider SpaceSaver 40-pound adjustable Kettlebell. Also known as a PowerBell, the weight quickly adjusts from 10 to 40 pounds, yet takes up the space of only a single Kettlebell. As a result, it’s ideal for several family members, or for performing several different exercise types without buying additional weights. Each PowerBell features an oversized, powder-coated handle that’s user-friendly, non-slippery, and easy to transition from hand to hand. With a PowerBell in play, you can perform bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder raises, and a host of other exercises without having to dedicate an hour-and-a-half to your routine. That’s because studies show you get the same cardio benefits with a 20-minute PowerBell workout as you do running on a treadmill for 20 minutes at 6 miles per hour, plus it works every muscle in your body.
To help you get the most from your workout, the PowerBell comes with a PowerBell Workout DVD that engages every muscle in your body. Hosted by former U.S. Special Forces member and professional Kettlebell trainer Michael Skogg, the DVD takes you through a full-body, functional workout that delivers real-life results. In total, the PowerBell supports more than 1,000 strength and cardio exercises, from basic moves to advanced routines. Finally, the PowerBell includes a fitness journal that helps you track your workout progress.
Weider SpaceSaver 40-Pound Adjustable Kettle Bell
Well I was really excited when I got my Powerbell a couple weeks ago. The kettlebell workouts definitely get the heart rate up and give you a total body workout. Unfortunately, the Weider PowerBell has an odd shape to it compared to normal kettlebells. Making certain moves, like the snatch and the rack, a little difficult. Notice I said ‘difficult’ and not impossible…it just takes a little tweaking in the technique/form.
But the biggest flaw, is how fragile it is. Considering the types of moves you do with these things, like the mid-air hand switch shown on the included DVD, you would expect them to be pretty tough. Well, just this morning, doing a the mid-air hand switch I missed…and it smashed to the ground right on the handle and broke into about 10 pieces. Luckily, I got it from Walmart, and I got a full refund.
Other than that, I really do like the clever design, I would just recommend to anyone that does purchase it to avoid the mid-air hand switches and flips that you may see in some videos. Stick with the basic moves and it should give you a pretty good workout. JUST DON’T DROP IT!

I really enjoy the Weider adjustable power bell. Though it’s cylandrical (as opposed to a regular kettlebell’s more rounded) design can make it a little tougher when it rests on your wrists (because of the corners diggin into you a bit)it is quick and easy to use and can really give a great work out. Especially for your lower back!
The instructional DVD that comes w/ it though is a bit of a joke. The instructor spends more time talking about how great the bell is than in its practical applications and uses. (I obviously already bought it, you don’t need to sell it to me again!) I would have enjoyed getting more exercises than just the basics he goes into and that didn’t happen. Also, he has the personality of a rock and seems to stumble over his sales pitch constantly. Once again, more work out and less sales would have worked.
Overall, I think it’s a great value for the price and I use it constantly…

I purchased the 40lb model about a month ago and it works great. the biggest problem that people seem to have is when you bring it up to the position where it comes down on the back of your arm. granted this does hurt, but i think i have come up with an inexpensive way to deal with this that takes care of the problem. purchase a pair of ladies slip on slippers. cut an opening in the toe slip it over your hand it hooks between your thumb and fore finger with the the rubber bottom of the slipper facing up on top of your arm. add a fairly heavy rubber band or somthing of the like. now you have instant arm protection. it works great! if your working out at home who cares what it looks like. hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

An excellent product allowing my wife and myself to do kettlebell exercises using a weight appropriate for each of us. The DVD is great also with concise explanations and a short but effective exercise routine. Get wrist guards before using the kettlebells-makes a big difference in comfort while learning techniques.
