I'm 64 and finding that I need a whole body experience at the gym. I have foot and ankle problems and can't jog. I take a beta blocker so getting my heart rate up is hard.

I've just started doing kettlebells and think this might be the answer. But I only have used them two days in a row.

What are your experiences with kettlebells? What is your age?

I used to do squats exclusively. Nothing but squats until my body simply stopped responding. Then I switched to deadlifts. Nothing but deadlifts. Initially everything was fine until my body stopped responding to deads as well. Kettlebells might be just what I need. Thanks.
