5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to kettlebells, April 2, 2009

By	B. Gunn "breefawn" (League City, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must admit that I bought this workout because I was looking for more traditional kettlebell training. My only experience up to this point was Kettlenetics, which is a good workout, but it's a fusion workout. I was slightly disappointed by the fact that the ab work here did not include Russian Get-Ups, which I have become very good at.... Overall, it's a solid workout, no fusion involved. I really liked the fact that the DVD is broken down into 10 minute segments, which makes it a good "I'm in a time crunch" option. I am currently using an 8 pound kettlebell, and have just purchased a 10 pound because the 8 pound is no longer challenging. If you are looking for a good introduction into kettlebells, this DVD will be a great investment!

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent INTERMEDIATE workout, July 9, 2009

By	Scoutsagirl (Maine) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I recently bought this video and I feel a *little* let down. Although the quality of the production is good and Angie is excellent at what she does and certainly a professional, I thought some aspects of this video's marketing were misleading. That being said, some aspects of the video are quite good.

The cons:

For one thing, the video is marketed as a good selection for beginners, intermediates, and experts in fitness. This, I feel, is untrue. Angie mentions that beginners should start with a 10lb kettlebell, which I did, although I have been working out for over a year (training for a 10k, doing cardio and some strength training) and I find the video impossible to complete in one session. I can't imagine that a true beginner would find this workout is at all suited to their needs. IF you have a small kettlebell of maybe 5lbs, as a beginner you *might* be able to complete the video in one session.

Also, there is a tutorial of about 5 minutes in length which you can use as a warmup, although it is quite difficult all on its own. It covers some basic kettlebell moves that Angie will use in the duration of the video, specific information about form and technique, and general info about kettlebells. The problem? She ONLY covers about seven individual exercises and the video covers many, many more! I always watch the videos I use first before attempting to do them and I was really surprised that the tutorial did not go through, at least once, all of the maneuvers she will use. I'm totally choreography challenged, so I always choose workouts that are slower and more about proper form than about complicated floorwork. To its credit, the video is not choreography heavy and you can certainly stop the video to repeat any parts you don't get, but to my mind, a good video does a better job at least preparing you to do any steps it expects.

Another issue I have with the video is that I felt like the sections were not organized well. The beginning of the video has several rather brutally difficult portions, then the end has 3 very easy ones. I felt like a better workout would have alternated these a little bit better to give you a brief reprieve and bring your heart rate down some (which is more like intervals and better for fat burning).

The last con I have has nothing to do with the workout itself; rather, it is about Angie's assistant. She smiles and is robotic throughout the WHOLE video which is extremely annoying if you're sensitive to that. She's also about six ft. tall and thin as a rail, which if you're round (like me) is kind of annoying. I think it's refreshing to see someone with a few curves on a video I'm using.

The pros:

You WILL get results with this video. You will. There is no question here. IF you can complete the video (or work yourself up through completing the separate portions of it) you will get nearly immediate results. I have done it in parts four times and I got results after ONE workout. That's it. ONE. I could not believe the muscle definition.

The workout is structured in portioned sections so that you can pick and choose what you can/want to do. I personally mix the harder portions with easier workouts, the easier portions with harder workouts. That's handy. Also, There is an option to just listen to the music of each section and not the cueing, etc, if you don't want to listen to Angie's voice.

The music is a good fit. It's a little overpowering in certain sections but not annoying, I did not think.

Angie is good at cueing for form. Often she reminds you to squeeze your glutes, bicep by the right ear, back straight, push through the heels, etc. Very important for a beginner! It would be WAY too easy to hurt yourself with a heavy kettlebell if you were not cued well and often as to proper form. HOWEVER, that being said, Angie does NOT do a lot of instruction or cueing for proper basic kettlebell two-armed swing form. I actually viewed several different tutorials on youtube just to make sure I had good form and I was definitely not in good form at first. Angie does say something like "your butt should feel like it's touching a piece of glass behind you" as you squat to do the swing, but for me that was not enough info. I personally used the instructional video that came with my kettlebell. That instructor said to envision yourself about to sit in a chair and --bingo!--I totally understood it. I wish Angie had been more clear.

Thanks for bearing with a long review! In short, buy this video if: You want results, you aren't a TOTAL beginner, and you want to get your heart rate WAY up there. Don't buy it if you are a total beginner, or you need lots of tutorial and instruction.

Happy kettlebelling!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD!, February 17, 2009

By	MJ (USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great DVD and Angie Miller really knows her stuff. My wife and I both use this workout and we both love it. It's good for all levels and is shot very well. Many fitness DVDs look like they were shot by a kid, but this one is pro level all the way. Some may not care about that, but I do. I like quality. One DVD, good for all levels? That's a deal. YOu won't go wrong with this one.
