Watch The Kettlebell Goddess Workout and you will know why Andrea DuCane is the leader in women's kettlebell training.

Pavel Tsatsouline --dragondoor.com

Product Description

The ancient Greek Goddesses were famous for their vigorous and vibrant strength, their power, their grace and their physical elegance.

Now you have a realistic chance to make even a Greek Goddess green with envy as you match if not surpass them for athletic grace and high performance!

In this superbly produced, interactive, menu-based DVD, Senior Russian Kettlebell Instructor, Andrea Du Cane challenges and inspires you to seize that ideal of elegant strength and make it your own.

Andrea s powerful array of authentic kettlebell workouts, plus cool downs and stretches, are guaranteed to reward you with greater energy, greater well being, greater strength and a superb figure. Fit for the Goddess you know you are!

Choose from a wide variety of Upper Body, Lower Body, Abs and Cardio workouts, then mix and match to create your own customized training program for godly perfection. Your results will be strictly divine...

Or simply follow along with one of the six Goddess Workouts for a complete, carefully targeted session designed to carve away the fat and sculpt lean, toned muscles ready and willing to take on the world and win it all. Just like Athena... Just like Nike...

Once the hard-kept secret of elite Russian athletes, special forces and manly men, the kettlebell is now becoming the preferred tool for women who are tired of being merely human and tired of mediocre results and who demand fast fat loss, high energy and exceptional physical performance, now! Let Andrea show you the way...

- Receive inspiring, first-class personal instruction from one of the nation s top female kettlebell athletes.

- Renew yourself with a constant variety of targeted, high-yield workouts that meet your changing needs.

- Redefine your body and exceed your mortal limits, with the divine challenge of Andrea s patented Goddess Workouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best workout DVD I've ever used!, September 18, 2008
By Sarah Kat (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kettlebell Goddess Workout: How to Achieve and Maintain a Divine Body with the World's Most Effective Tool for Weight Loss, Strength, Endurance and Flexibility (DVD)
I just completed my first Kettlebell Goddess workout (Odyne -- the Goddess of Pain -- yeah, I'm a masochist) and loved it!

The DVD design is intelligent & user friendly. It's setup as interactive menus which allow freedom of choice. You can choose from the Goddess workouts (which either focus on cardio or strength) or a build-your-own workout by combining different exercises and Goddess workouts. There's even a pdf file that contains examples for your weekly exercise routines which allow you to chose between cardio & strength.

The Goddess workouts are a complete workout which include a warm-up and a cool down/stretch. The build-your-own workouts include elements from all of the workouts, plus there are additional exercises.

Granted, you have to buy the kettlebells, but this is still a great price for the volume of exercises available. Kettlebells are pretty reasonable until you get up to the really heavy ones. I'm starting with a 4 kg/9 lb kettlebell I got at a local sporting goods shop for $20. It's the traditional black iron Russian version, not the colorful, vinyl coated American version.

The instruction is easy to follow, and the exercises are demonstrated well. I just hate when they pan to the pretty smiling model's face and I can't see what she's actually DOING, which is the whole point of the darned thing! That doesn't really happen with this video. One of the things that seperates this from the pack of most workout DVDs is that all three are Kettlebell instructors. One is even a medical doctor. They aren't model/actresses who answered a casting call ad and know little to nothing about the exercises.

Another feature which seperates this DVD from the pack is NO CHEESY MUSIC! Andrea has omitted the usual, generic workout music in favor of simple instruction. Much of the time, there is no speaking either, just breathing. She says once you get the hang of the exercises, feel free to play your own music. I went ahead and played mine and was able to hear her and the music. So much better than that Goddess awful synthesizer music commonly found in workout videos (pardon the pun)! =P

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Start, January 12, 2009
By Levi "eminenz2" (Germantown, MD United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kettlebell Goddess Workout: How to Achieve and Maintain a Divine Body with the World's Most Effective Tool for Weight Loss, Strength, Endurance and Flexibility (DVD)
I have been doing KB workouts for about 2 months now. I have Karen Brooks' workout and a couple of Anthony DeLuglio's DVDs (Providence and KB Training Vol. 1).

The workouts on this video are very short and tough. The Goddess workouts are less than 30 minutes, including warm-up and cool down. The add-ons and drills are less than 15 minutes. If you are short on time, these workouts fit the bill. If you want a longer workout, you'll have to get creative with the chapters.

There is a PDF file on the disc that you can print out to ge a better understanding on how to combine the sections to create your own workouts.

The instructors don't talk much. There are no cues as to when to start ("Ready? And,...begin...," etc...) Counting can only be heard as part of the breathing. The lead instructor provides minimal guidance. Some of the basic movements are explained in separate chapters, but other moves you'll have to learn on-the-fly, with no explanation.

One instructor, who is also a doctor, looks a bit panicked some of the time, and her form falters during many of the exercises. She sometimes loses her balance, looks like the KBs are controlling her (rather than the other way around), or just looks like she's struggling to keep up.

Some of the exercises use two KBs - two-handed cleans and swings, for example. Many of the exercises can be done with regular dumbells - renegade pushups (pushups with alternating lat pulls), single leg squats (called 'pistol box squats', I think), back lunges, waiter walk, dragon walk, deadlifts (good mornings), etc.

I think the layout of the chapters is a good idea for someone who is motivated to create their own workouts. However, there needs to be more explanations of the exercises while the exercises are being done. Some motivational words would be helpful too, especially when you're ready to just drop the KB and give up!

There is no music, which did not bother me. The workouts are tough (although a bit short), the talent a bit dull, guidance from the instructor minimal, and the set is simple yet attractive.

I prefer Art of Strength's workouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough workouts with great results, October 2, 2008
By Madame Defarge (Euclid, OH USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kettlebell Goddess Workout: How to Achieve and Maintain a Divine Body with the World's Most Effective Tool for Weight Loss, Strength, Endurance and Flexibility (DVD)
I'm new to the kettlebell craze but not to weight training. I purchased Kettlenetics after seeing an infomercial and loved the workout and results. The Goddess workout is only the second kettlebell routine I've tried. It is a different type of workout than Kettlenetics and therefore I have added it to my weekly routine. I feel sore in the right places the day after I use it.
There are several full workouts on the DVD as well as the option to create your own. They use heavy weights. I only use an 8 pound bell but am getting great results. (I tried the routines with my 4 pound bell but didn't feel it was much of a challenge.) Each workout runs about 30 minutes. It doesn't seem like much time but the routines are intense. You cover a lot of ground in this short time. The prompting is good.
It is worth the price.
