Since you have never used a Kettlebell, I suggest you learn using a Kettlebell separately under proper cueing.

The mobility required through out the execution of the move is different.Your wrist will be challenged. It requires some time getting used to.
As a newbie, I would not sub a Kettlebell.
I'm not planning on subbing a kettlebell for this workout. I'm not entirely new to it, as when I was a member of a gym, I used them quite frequently. I wouldn't mind purchasing one (or a couple), but I currently don't have a use for them, as I do mostly Cathe workouts. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing some of the exercises in this video with a kettlebell, because I don't believe the dangle would be good for some of these moves (the digging type motion, for example), and using 2 hands would basically be the same as using a dumbbell or weight plate (both of which I can guarantee a nice sturdy grip). I have small hands (and I sweat lol), so a safe grip is something I make sure I have so that I can put my focus into the move itself. At the gym... I tended to use the kettlebells for kettlebell swings, farmer's carry, etc. At home... All of my strength workouts are Cathe, so I usually just use what she's using. I do have Cathe's 4 lb. kettlebell, but it's too light for the types of things I used to do with a kettlebell. So, I removed the handle, and used it as a weighted ball to get familiar with using one before I ordered my heavier balls. At the gym, I used to use a slam ball and those battle ropes, but my at-home workout room would not like that at all. lol I like owning "toys", but I only own what I'll actually use at home, because space is my greatest asset for exercising. I haven't always had the space I'd like, so I try not to store stuff in it that I won't use at least once a month. Now... if Cathe ever came out with a kettlebell workout (or bonus)... I'd definitely be able to justify buying one and finding a place to store it. lol

Good recycling of a workout toy:).
