Book Description

Body Sculpting Bible September 29, 2009
Save time on your workouts and look better than ever!

Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand. Because more muscle groups are utilized in the swinging and movement of a kettlebell than during the lifting of dumbbells, a kettlebell workout is more effective, and yields better results in less time. The momentum generated by the kettlebell also reduces stress on the joints and minimizes the chance for injury.

While the general public is starting to catch on to the power of the kettlebell, many kettlebell books on the market merely feature exercises for dumbbells, substituting the dumbbells with a kettlebell. This approach fails to maximize the efficacy and fun of the kettlebell as a workout tool. For the first time ever, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women provides a female audience with kettlebell-specific workouts.

Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women will teach you:

•The differences between dumbbells and kettlebells
•How the kettlebell's shape enables endless variety of movement patterns
•Sport-specific exercises to enhance performance
•Uniquely designed exercise programs to benefit all fitness levels
•Where to buy kettlebells and which kettlebells are best for your fitness level
•Basic nutritional guidelines for a more effective workout

With easy to follow instructions, clear photographs, and extensive information on the kettlebell, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women provides a comprehensive guide to this unique fitness tool, making these powerful workouts accessible to people of all fitness levels.

Created by U.S.A.'s first International Master of Kettlebell Sport, Lorna Kleidman, this guide is sure to bring one of the most effective workouts to date.

More About the Author

www.MVPKettlebells.com

Dear Reader, if you have purchased the first edition of Body Sculpting with Kettlebells, there are two editor's misprints in the exercise description section. Please contact me on this site for a link to the correct photo and text for those two exercises. Please note that the current, third edition does not contain these errors. Thank you!

Lorna Kleidman, 3 -time World Kettlebell Sport Champion, Master of Sport and Two-Time International Master of Sport, personal trainer and author is bringing the age-old art of kettlebell workouts to the public.

Her passion for and years of experience in dance, boxing and general fitness ultimately led her to the versatility of the kettlebell. Today, Lorna is at the forefront of the sport of international kettlebell lifting as well as kettlebell use for fitness.

Although Lorna is an accomplished competitive athlete and trainer, she grew up suffering from severe exercise-induced asthma, her lung capacity so weak she was unable to participate in any recreational activities.

As a teenager, Lorna studied dance, which became her passion for years. In 1990 she became licensed in massage therapy and later ART (Active Release Technique), upon which she built a thriving private practice in Westchester County with clients that included professional athletes as well as teenagers and elderly clients.

In her late 20's, Lorna discovered intense aerobic training, which proved extremely beneficial for her breathing and stamina, but it wasn't until she as introduced to the kettlebell that she knew she had found the perfect fitness tool. She was immediately hooked as kettlebell training gave her the most defined, powerful physique she'd ever experienced in all her years of dance and fitness classes. She was soon a certified instructor in competitive kettlebell lifting and in 2007 was the first American to earn the coveted title of International Master of Sport.

Lorna immediately realized the unparalleled benefits of kettlebell workouts for everyone; whether a client is a new mother, golfer, runner or yoga enthusiast, Lorna guarantees a better level of fitness that is not just seen and felt, but that relates to activities of daily living and performance. Today, Lorna offers private sessions and small group classes in Manhattan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome workout, September 29, 2009
This review is from: Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women: Over 50 Total Body Exercises (Body Sculpting Bible) (Paperback)
If you are looking to learn about kettlebells and what they can do for you - this is the book.
I have been watching people working out with kettlebells at my gym in nyc and was wondering what they were all about.
Someone mentioned that Lorna Kleidman was an International World Champion and that she was coming out with a book. I ordered the book and a kettlebell last week and received my copy of the book yesterday. It is fantastic. It clearly explains what a kettlebell is and what it can do for me. I tried my first workout today and it is everything Lorna claims it is. I couldn't believe how much my heart rate increased. It was like doing my regular cardio workout while getting the benefits of strength and endurance training at the same time. As a mother with a 1 year old baby, I have been busy juggling motherhood, work and pleasure, while at the same time trying to get to the gym so I can get back into the wonderful shape I use to be in. I can already see where this will not only help me get back in shape and help me regain the energy I need to to get through my day, but will also help me in many of my daily activities with my baby. I felt the workout through my entire core, butt, legs and arms. It was great and really time efficient.
My husband plans on getting a heavier bell and working out with me so we can learn the proper movements together.
Will keep you posted as we work our way through the myriad of drills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like having your own personal trainer, March 24, 2010
By 
This review is from: Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women: Over 50 Total Body Exercises (Body Sculpting Bible) (Paperback)
Buying this book: Lorna Kleidman's Body Sculpting with Kettle Bells: was simply the best thing I have ever done. My friend Jo introduced me to kettlebells and she took me through a work out session and I loved it straight away. I started on using kettle bells 3 times a week but with no real direction but did feel small changes in my shape.
I have always had to worry about my weight and staying a UK size 12 took effort. During my pregnancy I ate anything and everything in sight as I saw it as a right of passage (silly girl). For months after my sons birth I did nothing and just hoped the weight would fall off....magically. For months I have been feeling down and feeling totally useless as I just could not shift the weight.

Jo calls me one day and tells me about Lorna Kleidman's Body Sculpting with Kettle Bells book and that I just have to get it......well as I said before: that was one of the best things I have ever done.

I have just completed the silver program and I can't actually believe that this is my body. My core has never been this strong and my thighs.....wow they are like rocks. So many people have noticed the difference in me and I feel fantastic. I am so excited about the change in my shape and the weight is now coming off. My arms have never looked this good. I just can't believe more people don't know about this book (something which I intend to change).
I feel in control of my life again and feel like I have more energy. I have never looked forward to a workout but now I get so excited. The book is so well structured and helps you understand technique which is critical for results. It is serious like having a personal trainer!!!!

Get this book and try it........it's fantastic!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, November 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women: Over 50 Total Body Exercises (Body Sculpting Bible) (Paperback)
I'm relatively new to kettlebells, maybe 2 weeks in. I purchased a GoFit brand that came with a short introductory video, and was hooked! I've always been a lazy person who hated exercise, and kettlebells are something I look forward to. I searched around for a week or so, debating about buying a workout DVD or deciding between a few books, and after reading many reviews I decided on this one, plus you can't beat $10 for a book! I was not disappointed. It has a great introduction to how she got started and the benefits she gets, plus a brief story on the history kettlebells. Then great illustrations of many kettlebell exercises, and 3 different workout plans so you can progress to something more challenging as you get more fit. Very clear and concise. I'm very pleased I picked this book. It's amazing how much your heart rate goes up with just a few swings of the kettlebells, what a great workout!
