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.

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
Telt yeah

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.
I am about 110kg though.

As for OP i've been going twice a week for 6 months or so i'm wasting away
. I wasn't fat or nowt previously but the kettlebells just burn all the excess off. Shoulders and thighs are much bigger and my chest/abs are pretty well ripped.

Probably why my mate just gave it away lol. Think he got it free or something. I might invest in heavier ones then.

How long do you normally do? I was thinking of doing 20-30 min sessions 3 times a week.

Twice a week, 60 mins at a time (in a class). Supposed to burn 1200 calories in the hour.
I couldn't do it on me todd mind. Much easier/better in a class but it is pretty nails. I'm hooped after 5 minutes

Aye it's hard like. I went blind last week
It's sort of like this:
One session - 45 mins swings, 5 minute sets (alternating exercises with a working rest) followed by 1 minute rest.
15 mins - Stomach with/without kettlebell
Next Session - As above but the swinging bit is now 50% cardio (squat-thrusts/punching/running/jumps etc)
