I don't know if this link has been posted before. I think it needs to be seen.

I'm glad she went on to learn proper form. (Before she killed herself or someone else.)

Well, we are living in a different world. There are still many people who believe that because its on the internet, its all good an true. Youtube has some mind boggling crazy "fitness" stuff on. I feel very bad for those people who got injured.

Wow...well at least she does have a disclaimer to consult with a trainer. That's more than most of these amateurs say.

I was previewing those Pahla videos that were suggested and she also has some really bad kb form too. Very discouraging. I wish people had more respect for kbs. I can't even convince my husband to get a real lesson on these, although he's been dabbling with them. He does this when I'm not home, on purpose, as he knows I'm kind of a stickler for good form.

It just goes on and on... Wow.

Such a great example of the humiliation of trying to set oneself up as an expert in something one has only five minutes of experience with... Could be a comedy sketch.

She does give Jillian and Gin a run for their money. Like Alta said, I'm glad she went on to learn proper form. And it looks like she has a good attitude about the whole thing.

If you acquired a DVD that had good form instruction ... and he knew it was there ... he might sneak a look at it when you weren't around.You'd have to say it was for you, of course. And when you buy it, throw in a few more workouts for free shipping - stuff that you like. In the interests of your DH's safety, I mean. I'm just sayin'.

Wow! That was scary! I'm glad she realized how bad it was - she really could have hurt herself or maybe even someone else who watched her.

I LOVE kettlebells, but I have also practiced very carefully and review the Art of Strength Kbell Training Clinic often to review my own form.
