Same here. I exercise daily at home. A few months ago, on a whim, I bought some kettlebells, which I used to see in the gym but had never used before. Once I started searching for and watching kettlebell instruction videos on YouTube, I started getting more such videos as recommendations. Some of the videos were really good, and they helped me learn how to exercise with kettlebells safely and effectively.
Among the recommendations were also some videos about maces, or macebells, which I had never even heard of. Intrigued, I ordered a couple, and now I have added them to my daily workout, too. I never would have discovered them, or learned how to use them, if it weren’t for YouTube.
Occasionally I dip into YouTube rabbit holes for subjects I was interested in when I was young (I’m sixty-five now), things like music theory or woodcraft or typography. I am always impressed at how much easier it is to learn such things on one’s own now than it was fifty years ago. Instruction books and searches of the wider web are also useful, of course, but for learning anything with a visual and/or audio component YouTube is fantastic.
- gmassman 4y agoI went down a similar kettlebell rabbit hole, now it's one my favorite ways to exercise. I'd highly recommend the Mark Wildman videos on kettlebell technique if anyone else is interested in giving them a go.
