I agree with Sue. For me, kettlebells is just another fitness tool. With that said, I LOVE training with my kettlebells. But it's been years since I've used a DVD. I do my own circuits.

I never got into kettlebells. I decided that I couldn't risk swinging something around inside my family room or even garage. Too much risk of letting go and breaking something. If I did it in a gym, it might be a different matter, but I won't use them at home.

Yes, I love to work my lowerbody with kettlebells (swings, squats, lunges deadlifts etc) and hard! I find most kettlebell dvds focus on upper body and core and my buns are always left for wanting more..lol! I do my own LB workout with kettlebells, lowerbody only I find it most affective, 20 minutes 1 minute on one minute off various lower body moves.. the last thing my apple body needs is another windmill or Turkish get-up. What I love about lower body KB is the moves are very affective for shaping the buns quickly if done right. |

I prefer kettlebell training -- I did it for nearly 4 years straight -- but, truth be told, my body responds much better to conventional weight training for upper body & Tonique/BBL/running/walking for lower body. I tried every form of kettlebell training out there, too .... No matter. I'm not that results driven and it's fun for me, so I will continue to kettlebell train.
My RKC trainer competed in national fitness/bikini contests. She switched from conventional weight training to kettlebell training when she quickly saw she had better results in half the time with kettlebell training. Each body responds differently to it. |

I did kettlebells as part of a class I had a gym 10 years ago or so. It always felt awkward to me. Granted I am an awkward person. I was always afraid I was going to hurt myself. (I never did hurt myself with kettlebells.) I tried them again last year. As a previous poster noted, I kept fearing that I was going to launch one in my house.

My favorite kettlebell workout is RKS. Here's a link to it on Mary's site: https://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/RKS...-Set-p/rks.htm There are two reviews; Mine is the first one listed.
It's pricey, but will probably go on Mary's July sale.

B2--Thanks for passing along the recommendations for this one. I added it to my cart at Mary's, with fingers crossed that it will be included in her sale.
I just received KettleX and did the first disk (beginner's). It was a good workout! I'm fairly new to KBs, so I appreciated the slower pace and the form pointers. The background person was showing modifications, as well. |
