Another great work by Pavel. Although the title implies the workouts and exercises are for women, don't be fooled guys. Thay are effective for both sexes. The ladies do a great job of demonstrating the various techniques and even do a 20 min sample of their favorite workout routines.
While the ladies do their thing Pavel stands by and gives excellent comentary on how to correctly perform the techniques. He also shows how NOT to perform the technique. This enables the viewer to compare their technique to what they see on the tape and make corrections.
Of course even with the tape there is no substute for a live trainer to really get your technique down smooth.

I bought the video to supplement the book ( which is the best
workout book ever ). The exercises are presented in a simple
straighforward manner, with emphasis on safety and technique.
Pavel shows you how to diagnose good vs bad form, when to use
a spotter, and the same exercise done at several levels of
strength. I am a 56 year old gal, have videos from Jane Fonda,
Tai Chi, the FIRM, etc. This is the best workout video I have
ever bought. Well worth every cent.

this video gives you an hour and 10 minutes of great instruction given from different angles demo'd by Andrea DuCane and DC Maxwell (the spouses of John DuCane and Philly fitness guru Steve Maxwell).Pavel shows how to tighten the gut when lifting and ways of breathing to maximize strength and exercise effectiveness.This video is very detailed and demos many kettlebell exercises including the swing, snatch, clean, windmill, 2 turkish getup variations, 1 arm overhead squat, deck squats, 2 sizzling ab exercises using the kettlebells and some sample routines. I am male and found this video to be very user friendly towards both genders. though geared for women guys can benefit tremendously. There is a lot to learn and this video is just the cat's meow. I purchased it because I was curious about kettlebells and now Im hooked. Kettlebell workouts will trim you up, strengthen you, and are just damn fun. I have a cracked spine and the swings have made my back stronger and tightened all my abdominal muscles including the serratus, obliques and iontercostals.Kettlebell workouts will build a nice girdle of stength in the waistline and trim you up very nicely. My abs and midsection has never been this toned. you cant go wrong with this video. I really lucked out when I gave t a chance...

I was hoping for a work out tape... this is more like an encyclopedia. Worth it, but not what I expected.

I really enjoyed watching this video. I've just started working out with kettlebells and liked the thorough explanations and visuals. However, this is more of a "how-to" video than a workout video. At the end, his fitness models work out freestyle, but they are both doing different things and you are not coached along with it. You also find out in the end that they are both jujitsu athletes also... so they are at very advanced fitness and flexibility levels. Pavel makes fun of "pink Barbie weights"...I laughed at that! He keeps you entertained as you go along, so even as a reference it is not boring!

I bought this workout for my mother, she fell in love with it and has made my life miserable ever since. I finally was able to find a set of Kettlebells and she is in heaven.

Pavel who would of known, she's been on a roll ever since. I highly recommend this and all of Pavel's workouts. Amazing!
