Don’t call me an icon, honey. An icon is something you hang in a Russian church. Call me Dame Elizabeth or call me an aging movie star.

I Goggle the word "kettlebell "and get 5-20 hits a day when there is an article or blog that highlights kettlebells. Invariably you read about some trainer who has taken up kettlebell lifting as a new routine for some personal training or class format. Then they drop names like Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Lopez are now addicted to kettlebells, and that is how they got their physical presence. Its an endorsement by the rich and famous by just dropping their names, which adds to the trainers selling success. Kettlebells my friend, sell them selves assuming you know how to best apply them as a training tool.

I never put stock in any celebrity that gives an endorsement. Just because they became a race of beautiful people, does not make what they say more important than the next person you meet. Most have dysfunctional lifestyles, which we don't really want to follow anyway.
