The newer review database is great. Good luck getting yourself set up in it and thanks for the review!

Okay, just added my second review. I reviewed kathy Smith's Total Body Lift.

Excellent, that was easy...mine are "lite" reviews but every one helps I hope.

Yep, Lisa S has set the new system up so that it is SO easy to use! Kirsty, I am sure your reviews are great; personally, the main thing I find helpful is when there are A LOT of them so that I can get different perspectives.

Yeah, that's why I ask for reviews. The more there are, the more you can get a complete picture of what a workout is really like from the different perspectives.

Glad you got it worked out Kirsty!

I finally got around to posting a review myself - on Sticks.1.

Hopefully, as people get workouts as presents, we'll see even more reviews. And, I hope we get some pretty quickly on KCM's new workouts, once those hit the street.

I just submitted (yesterday) a review of Andrea Du Cane's Kettlebell Boomer--it was released earlier this year. Although geared to aging "boomers," I really think the workouts are appropriate for all levels, especially since there is an intermediate/advanced exerciser who uses two kettlebells for many of the exercises.

Just wanted to chime in, please post reviews even if they're only a paragraph long, and especially if there are already reviews posted with differing opinions from yours. I don't look for detailed breakdowns of all my workouts- just hearing someone's opinion helps me figure out whether it's for me or not.

ITA - even just a few comments! Although, does anyone agree with this? For example, is something like what I wrote in my daily check-in enough: "Nicely controlled pace! Not too hard but not easy; no fast moves. Pretty good stretch at the end. I liked it". ??

Lucia - In some ways, that doesn't seem enough, does it? Yet, that is the type of thing that some people want to see instead of the longer reviews. It would probably resonate the most when there are other reviews and people want multiple bottom line opinions with which to analyze a workout.

What does everyone else think?
