Necessary supplement for kettlebell training
I bought this DVD when I first started using kettlebells. His "Enter the Kettlebell" book provided details, but the DVD showed proper application. Pavel personally shows how to do fundamental KB exercises: swing, clean, press, and snatch. While he hams up the evil Russian persona a bit, this is the best DVD for learning how to use kettlebells as well as proper warmups...

Good Information on Select Basics
This is an instructional DVD that thoroughly illustrates proper form for a handful of basic kettlebell moves. If you are looking for a kettlebell work-out DVD to do at home this is not the one for you. If you are looking for a single DVD that shows how to perform a lot of kettlebell exercises then this is also not the one for you. What it provides is clear instructions on...

Excellent resource for the kettlebell, March 20, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
The kettlebell is everything Pavel Tsatsouline advertises it to be. It is an excellent piece of exercise equipment. The Enter the Kettlebell DVD is shorter than I expected, but not disappointingly so. Pavel concisely delivers all of the information required to perform a complete exercise regimen.
The moves involved in the kettlebell exercises appear simple, but are complex in that they require exact form. Pavel does well explaining and demonstrating the differences in proper and improper form. He even provides examples of poor form. The DVD includes information on how to work your way to proper form if you are not yet in good enough shape, or not flexible enough to perform the exercise.
Enter the Kettlebell is an excellent resource for those interested in the kettlebell for exercise.

Solid training advice., June 5, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
Pavel shows the basic lifts: swing, clean, press, and snatch with attention to details on how to perform them. Instructions such as staying tight in abdominal region, generating power from hips and glutes, keeping shoulder planted firmly in socket, and keeping arm loose during pull to transfer energy generated from legs. That's just a sampling of his instruction. I will watch the video again at a later date for review and to hammer home the fundamentals. Time and money well spent.

Good Information on Select Basics, October 2, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
This is an instructional DVD that thoroughly illustrates proper form for a handful of basic kettlebell moves. If you are looking for a kettlebell work-out DVD to do at home this is not the one for you. If you are looking for a single DVD that shows how to perform a lot of kettlebell exercises then this is also not the one for you. What it provides is clear instructions on how to perform basic kettlebell exercises such as the swing, snatch, get-up and press. The exercises that are presented are well done, with good instruction and examples of how to do them properly. I gave this three stars because it covered so few exercises - if there had been more exercises included I would have given it five stars.

Results are well worth the price., August 6, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
I've been following the "program minimum" from the book for a little under two months now, and its changed the way I work out. I'm in far better condition than I was two months ago, and I work out in about 1/4 of the time I used too. Very descriptive, it tells you exactly what to do, and how to do it, and there's plenty of dry humor thrown in as well. This would be a good buy at twice the price!

An excellent DVD for learning the basic exercises using the Kettlebells., September 3, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
Even though I had read the book by the same name, there is nothing like seeing the exercises in a DVD to more clearly understand the material. Pavel is well-known for creating interest in the use of the Kettlebell. Even though I am way past my prime and old age is upon me; nevertheless, I found that I could perform most of the movements in the DVD. The only one I could not perform because of my physical limitations, was the "Get-up" exercise. The DVD follows the information given in the text book and I think getting both of these products is a good idea. In conclusion, if you are seeking expert instruction on how to properly use the Kettlebell, you should get this DVD. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Monadnock Defensive Tactics (MDTS) System, Use of the Monadnock Straight Baton, PR-24 Police Baton Advanced Techniques, Martial Art Myths, Never Trust a Politician).

Good for learning basic lifts, October 14, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
Great video for learning the basic kettle bell moves. Highly motivational and easy to follow. However, this is not a workout video. It just shows you a few of the lifts. He does a great job of providing an indepth instruction and safety measures for each lift. I thought the video would have been like a workout program where he would coach you through a workout routine. It is very good for someone who is just starting with kettlebells.

Too short, too few exercises covered, but good, December 8, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
There should have been more exercises and drills covered, and some basic programs for beginners and intermediate kettlebell users. Pavel is sort of funny, but as others have said the over use of the word "comrade" wears a bit after a while. Overall I would say this is good if you can't find or afford a personal KB instruction session.

Masterful presentation, February 14, 2010
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
This video covers the basic kettlebell exercises but falls short of perfection. Pavel leaves you wanting more material and fails to give the viewer a sample beginner workout to expand on. I know it is a technique only video but I want the most bang for my buck, and expect the producer to go the extra mile. If you could afford it it's a good buy : worth the price of good technique for avoiding injury. If you're cheap like me Everthing on the vid can be found on youtube with a little bit of patience. Save your money for the actual kettlebells.

Well written and simple instructions, December 26, 2009
This review is from: Enter the Kettlebell! Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (DVD)
This is like most of his other products, very well written information on turning yourself into a hardened warrior. Throw the pretty boy, linear weights away and use these. they make you strong and amp your cardio up very quickly. If your a martial Artist you cannot afford NOT to have this at home with you..
