    Great training method but 4kg might be a bit light there are plenty of websites showing you how to use them

    Are they more for bulking up or fat loss? I'm not interested in getting big. Just want to strengthen my core and keep my body fat low.

    give the 4kg to your daughter or something!

    They say an average sized man should start around 16kg

    I've got a 16, 20, 24, 32 and 40.

    Mainly used as conditioning but very versatile

    If you ask me they are a fad and it's only a matter of time that someone realises they knack your joints up by over stretching tendons (tennis elbow anyone?)

    Like most things sensible weights and reps will do exactly what you are looking for

    Strengthen core = squats
    Keep body fat down = run or cross train

    they've been used since the 1700's apparently, hardly a fad.

    Use correct technique and I've experienced no injuries due to them.

    If I tried to swing the 32 around I'd end up flying out the window.
