You are better off just finding the closest gym and going to lift weights with barbells, dumbbells, machines and just use the kettlebells as an extra thing to change things up. If you have some fantasy that you are going to get a couple of kettlebells and do a kettlebell workout in your own home and that is going to get you in shape, it's not an optimal plan.

Thanks for the input, Jim. Right now I use an exercise bike and perform calisthenics as the exercise portion of my overall weight loss/new lifestyle routine. Along with a good dietary plan, I'm seeing (and feeling) some good results so far. It's getting to the point though where my endurance and overall thirst for exercise is increasing, and to keep the momentum I've created I want to add a new dimension to my exercise routine.
The plan that I'm creating may not be optimal in a grand sense, but it's certainly a vast improvement in my case. Though, I do agree that joining a quality gym would be ideal and that is a future benchmark in my plan. Thanks again.
