The Ultimate Workout !,

This review is from: The Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells DVD with Lauren Brooks (Misc.)
I purchased this DVD in December 2008 and have been using it regularly for the past year. When I began, I was totally out of shape and was using only a 7lb bell. I have progressed to a 15lb bell, a 20 and recently moved up to a 25lb bell. Some of the body weight exercises, such as push-ups, squat thrusts and mountain climbers were too difficult at the beginning, but I stuck with it and am now able to do them with no trouble. I have reduced my resting heart rate from a horrible 94 beats per minute down to 67, and have lost nearly 40 lbs, 8 inches from my waist and really firmed up my arms, legs, shoulders and back. I owe it all to this fantastic DVD! Including a 12 minute workout was genius on Lauren's part, because it really gives beginners confidence to learn and practice the moves and get in better condition for the 40 minute workout. I feel so much better physically and mentally since using this workout. Highly recommended!!!

This review is from: The Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells DVD with Lauren Brooks (Misc.)
I recently started using kettlebells by purchasing videos from another instructor after seeing his "infomercial" (Kettleworx). Thank God I discovered Lauren Brooks; she is 100 times better than what I already had. Her instructions are clear, her form (and her partner's) is excellent, and the DVD is a great production overall. I really appreciated the detailed guidelines (proper weight selection, etc.) and instructions she provided (for 15 exercises) prior to completing any of the workouts. You can tell she knows what she is doing and her personality is great. I was using a 10 pound bell but I purchased a 15 pound bell prior to attempting Lauren's workout; I was so glad I did--it made the workout much more challenging and I felt wonderful afterwards. I am looking forward to increasing my kettlebell weight and I hope Lauren completes another video soon. (I returned Kettleworx to the manufacturer; I was thankful for the refund.)

I am an avid fan of KB's and believe they are the only workout tool that a person needs. This DVD is FUN and super effective. This DVD contains instructions, warm-up, a short 12-minute workout, and a longer 40-minute workout. I was skeptical that the 12-min workout would be as effective as I had read in other reviews. What I found is that in the first 30 SECONDS your heartrate truly increases so that it is in the optimal range for burning fat, and you are sweating within the first ONE MINUTE. There may not always be time for a proper 45 minute to 1 hour workout during our busy schedules, but there is always time for a measly 12 minute workout (except this 12-minute workout is anything except 'measly'). If you feel that the 12-minute workout is too easy and ineffective, then you are not doing it correctly, or you need to use a heavier KB. You should be thanking Lauren Brooks for all of the breaks that she gives you between each set (it's THAT effective). I love this DVD.
