I know absolutely nothing about Kettlebell Goddess, but I love the original Skogg system and the new at-home DVD's. The new at-home DVD's have become my most frequently used kettlebell DVD's.
Here is a thread with the DVD breaksdowns on them: http://forum.videofitness.com/showth...ighlight=skogg

I don't know why Skogg does not like squats. However, in the Skogg @ Home, I think I recall him saying that he thought goblet squats were easier than racked squats. There is more balance and core activation with the racked squats which would make them a bit harder.

In the intro DVD where they demonstrate and break down each move, he says that squats are hard, and not his favorite. I keep good form and keep my knees and my rear end back when doing the squats, but having weight in the front of my body is harder on my knees. That's why I don't like them. He talks about how he loves the snatch because it is elegant and beautiful and works the whole body, so maybe he doesn't like squats because they aren't elegant? And because you aren't swinging and moving the bell?
I think the variety in how the workouts are structured is challenging and each one challenges you in a different way. I spent probably too much time with the first DVD, trying to really focus on form. Just changing things up in Intervals was a whole new challenge, and then Ladders is a different challenge because you don't really get to ride momentum as much. I haven't done Flow yet, but I'm sure I'll love it. Ladders is my favorite. Another good thing is that Skogg says he isn't just teaching how to do the basic movements but also how to put a workout together, so you can take the structure of Ladders and change it up in different ways. I like that because I tend to do that anyway. |

Skogg, Skogg and more Skogg. I recently discovered his Kettlebell workouts and they are TOPS in my book. I have lots of other Kbell workouts and the Skoggs are my favorite. I have the set and both the 'at Home' dvds too. I LOVE the 'at Home' workouts because they are more like being in a regular class and Michael is a little more jokey and fun. But all are fantastic.
I asked if they were going to make anymore 'at Home' dvds and they said they are!!! I'll be stalking until I find out more!
