short answer: 16KG

long answer:

ive been trying to find an answer to this myself...ive found just one source which said 16KG but i was looking for some others to confirm it. it seems pretty accurate though

i was in a competition recently which involved kettlebell swings with a 24KG kettlebell and i was struggling to get the 30 reps out doing them in bunches of 3-5

im strong for my weight im pretty small only weighing 69KG

anyway im happy with what ive found (16KG) because it excuses my from having such difficulty with a 24KG kettlebell

This depends on what your fitness level is, and also what you're going to do with it. Usually I would recommend women to start with 8 or 10 kg (18 or 22 lb) and men 12 to 16 kg (26-35 lb).
