I think Cathe was ask to do a kettlebell workout when it became popular but she wasn't comfortable with it and I think there was something else she was asked to do. I think Cathe does what she's knows and what she's good at doing |

So thanks for letting me know about what they have to do. That’s not a good thing to force someone to put out a certain number of dvds to keep a contract. This came to mind because I was searching for UGI ball instructors and couldn’t find much. But the lady did have a KB exercise also and it was way off. Then she was doing TRX and again some other piece of equipment. I think they should focus on what they are good at and leave the rest to those that have stuck with a certain style. Or form

Your post made me think of Kathy Smith and Denise Austin. I think they both have DVD's of every type of workout possible. And every time a Firm workout has some kickboxing type moves I cringe because the form is always awful!
I like how in KCM's Slim Sculpting workout she begins by saying that she is only doing basic kettlebell moves because form is so important with kettlebells she doesn't want to do anything difficult that can cause injury for the average exerciser that isn't familiar with kettlebells. Smart!

No. I don’t believe instructors can just decide to produce a video on anything just because they’re an instructor. I remember a long-ago thread about yoga (or maybe it was kettlebells) and I might have even started it. I think they need to be certified and have some experience first.
Also, I don't think personal trainers who decide to make videos are the best instructors. Debbie Siebers is a good example. You can just tell she doesn’t have teaching experience in her “Slim” workouts. She doesn’t mirror cue and her cuing isn’t great. That said, I still liked those workouts. Jessica Smith was a trainer first, I believe. She’s doing pretty well, but doesn’t always cue well - soon enough, I guess I mean and isn’t always on beat. And ... I love her, too. She did say she’d never do a step workout because she’s not experienced. I’m just leery of instructors that suddenly come out with a yoga workout, or kettlebells or barre, etc., when they’ve had a career of cardio, weights, etc. Leslie dabbles in bands and light weights, but not enough to do any real damage. :-) |
