Andrea DuCane has one for Boomers. Slow, deliberate, with modifications.
If I can find mine, I would loan it to you, should you want to try it. Here is a short clip...it is NOT one you would use for a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gmb6hqPD-E |

Thanks for the replies!

BTW, I always mention this in threads about Andrea DuCane. She used to be the make-up artist on the old Mystery Science Theater 3000 shows.

Unfortunately, I've yet to find a single, perfect choice for beginners that I would recommend without any caveats. That said, some potential options:
Lauren Brooks' new DVD Shut Up and Train is a great choice for newbies since the workouts are short, progressive, offer modifications, and have more attention to form/instruction than most kettlebell workouts. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it as a stand-alone choice because it doesn't have a warm-up/cool down, or a tutorial with more detailed instruction. Her Kettlebell Body has a good tutorial, but the actual workouts are probably too difficult for a beginner. They'd be a good step-up after Shut Up and Train, however, and have nicely thought out warm-ups. AOS Kettlebell Clinic is often recommended for instruction, and it has short, adaptable (although not terribly exciting) workouts probably appropriate for a beginner (although with more difficult exercises like Turkish get-ups) and instruction on form. That said, most of the RKC and Strong First trainers have moved on and adopted somewhat different technique than shown in AOS Clinic, changes that I'd say are an improvement. So it's not the most up-to-date technique, although no major problems. Lots of people find the Skogg System an excellent choice for beginners. The tutorial instruction is excellent, and the workouts are progressive. But not all beginners are going to be able to do snatches and high pulls safely, and all of the workouts have them. Lots of people have big problems supporting Skogg due to his past lies about being a Seal/Special Ops. I found the program to be too boring to follow overall. The tutorial is great, but it's not worth buying the whole system just to get it. An online option, again missing a proper tutorial, is a whole series of slow, not exciting, progressive kettlebell and bodyweight workouts from a guy who calls his workouts "Biomechnically Fit" The guy's form is not amazing, but I also don't think he has you doing anything that you're likely to hurt yourself, and I like them because they're slow and deliberately paced, and actually at a beginner level (versus something like the Zcut "beginner" workouts). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...T3PxaUYZSSBLaK |

What NOT to do...
A link to this kettlebell instructional video was posted in a article on what NOT to do with kettlebells. It's worse than Jillian!
