One of my friends and fellow trainers, Chad Edwards, is now the proud owner of Crossfit Local in Chapel Hill. Chad and his crew recently participated in a fundraiser to raise money for breast cancer, Barbells for Boobs.
They are now gearing up for the Carolina Fitness Challenge, a CrossFit competition to be held at CrossFit Durham this December 11th.

Do you prefer using kettlebell or dumbells? It seems like I can do all the exercises just with kettlebells so I'm debating if I should by both or just the kettlebell.

I find the kettlebells to be more ergonomic for a lot of things and easily replace the dumbbell.
