Lola asked:
fat and tone up, not bulk up?
How are they different from traditional dumbells, as far as the workout goes?

You can use a dumbbell for almost any kettleball exercise. So if you have one, don’t go and buy the other.
The right size is one that allows you to get the number of reps you want while still being difficult.
Women don’t have the ability to bulk up like men do because they don’t have the testosterone levels to do so. You will only gain a small amount of muscle and tone up.Almost any ripped muscular female is using some type of testosterone to help them achieve that look. Typically its Anavar
“An average woman should start with an 18-pounder. A strong woman can go for a 26-pounder. Some women will advance to a 35-pounder. A few hard women will go beyond.”-Pavel T.
“If you’re into mixed martial arts or just otherwise are looking to get into some serious cross-training, then kettlebells have the advantage over dumbbells. When doing cross-training exercises with dumbbells-which mostly focus on specific muscles-you’re basically restricted to using lighter weights or you run the risk of injuring yourself. With kettlebells though, the exercises require multiple muscle groups to work together, meaning that you can use higher weights, with less risk of injury (assuming proper form).
If your goal is to strictly “tone up” your body rather than to focus on developing overall strength and flexibility, then dumbbells are probably right for you. Dumbbells would also most likely be the best choice if you are recovering from an injury, are just starting out or are elderly. There are an unlimited number of dumbbell exercise techniques for toning the body or aiding in injury recovery that don’t require more than five or ten pounds.”
Kettlebells allow more flexibility with exercises.
