Isai - I would take it back. They *do* deliver a good workout, however, he uses the exact same footage everytime he does a new circuit, and he uses it on the other DVD's too, so you have this constant feeling of deja vu. And if he's made a mistake, it's in every repetition of that clip. I really think it could have been the best kettle bell workout ever if the editors had just paid more attention.
He also says that women never need to use more than a 10lb bell, which other kettle bell experts disagree with. They say ladies should work up to 15 lb ones or even 20 lb. This makes sense to me, because many men use 35 lb bells. I think it's fine to start low, but the idea is to progress.
I got Bob Harmon's dvd set today and did his Cardio Shred Kettle bell one. It is a workout, but there is a lot of stopping to explain things. I wish he would have a tutorial section and then just a workout that I could go straight through. I don't need to know how to do a kettlebell snatch, dead lift or swing. I can do those.
He also includes non kettle bell movements. Probably 1/4 of the workout is doing things that are not involving the kettlebell, some pushups - which I've seen on other kettlebell dvd's and some jogging in place with high knees. He says to keep your heartrate up. There's another move.. forget what he called it where you squat, put your hands on the floor and hop your feet out behind you in a plank, then hop back in and up. I didn't do that one, since I'm battling shoulder injuries, I just did more swings.
I'm a little disappointed because it had rave reviews on Amazon. However, I have to say it was kicking my little booty too, so I will probably stick with it and see what results I get.
Haven't done the strength one yet.
One thing I did appreciate, the girl he had doing the workout looked like she was struggling with it too. Nice when even the 'in shape' one has a hard time like me!
