Great beginner workout
by Sarah Aquino,Top Contributor: Children's Books (5 out of 5 stars)
February 18, 2017

This workout DVD is great for beginners. I've used kettlebells with other workout DVDs like Jillian Michaels Jillian Michaels: Shred-It With Weight
. Compared to Jillian, this workout is much slower and more focused on refining your technique. Depending on your fitness level, it can still get your heart pumping.

The workout might not be for everyone. If you already workout and have used kettlebells, these workouts are not going to challenge you. However, I recommend a viewing for anyone using kettlebells as there are important techniques that Paul Katami goes over ensure safe use and injury prevention.

Paul Katami is also one of my favorite workout trainers. He has a great stage, presence - very encouraging and he struggles alongside you.

Good work out
by The Quilted Road (3 out of 5 stars)
April 23, 2014

The first work out on this DVD is a tutorial to make sure you know what you're doing with a kettlebell. I've worked out with kettlebells for a few years and have seen different DVDs. I like the way Mr. Katami shows the moves and swings. He gives good advice and you won't get hurt if you follow it. The second work out is really nice. It works every part of the body and I feel like I've accomplished something when I'm done. I was pleased to find out that the last work out is actually do-able. I was afraid it would be too difficult since I'm just intermediate in my ability, but I could do 90% of it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get familiar with kettlebell swings and work outs. It's definitely worth the money.

New to and now love kettlebell workouts and this is a great video
by SCV Jessica (5 out of 5 stars)

This is a great video for kettlebell workouts. I have fone barre and beachbody videos and I am in love with kettlebell. I decided to try it after my last baby. The fact that crossfitters do it, intrigued me. Onto the video, the intro helps you understand and do the kettlebell moved properly. I am not annoyed by the instructor at all. I think the pace is great. After the instructional video, there are really just 2 workouts. One full body and one core. For this reason, I have purchased another one of his videos to switch things up. I haven't received it yet.

Very glad I bought this DVD!
by Lily (4 out of 5 stars)

I really like this video. Very easy to follow and fun to do, and a good quick, calorie-burning, muscle-improving exercise to add to my regimen of walking and tai chi. Although I haven't started using it in earnest yet - because I don't have an appropriate kettlebell - I can see why it's considered a great exercise method. Paul Katami stresses during the introduction that it's important to have the right weight kettlebell, but unless I missed it, he never says how to determine the best weight for an individual to choose (for safety, primarily). Before I got the DVD, I bought a 20 pounder, but it's WAY too heavy to swing around, thus, nothing to use until I can go somewhere where there are lots of sizes for me to try out. That advice would have made the DVD much perfect!

What Even is a Kettle Bell?
by Janet Morris Grimes (5 out of 5 stars)
February 4, 2016

I knew nothing when I started, so this was perfect for me.

Broken down into three 'chapters,' that play through automatically, if you want them to, for a 79 minute workout (including tutorial and explanations)

I started with the tutorial and mainly use the middle one on it's own for about a 30 minute workout.

The last chapter requires a lot of stomach crunch type exercises, and I may never progress that far.

I love the complexity of the workout and it definitely gets the heart pounding by using multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Strengthens and tones.

Good beginner to intermediate video
by Michele (4 out of 5 stars)
April 18, 2018

I have been using kettle bells for a few months and wanted another video with instructions. I have the iron core DVD set, and enjoy it. I would say my overall fitness level is intermediate. I work out regularly doing a variety of things, but am still getting used to kettle bells. For me, this is a nice pace. I did both workouts in one session (the first is really just instructions) and felt I got a good workout. I like the sequence of moves and the way things are put together for longer sets. I think that is the key to getting some cardio with the weight training. An increase in weight will make it more challenging, which I will have to do soon. The second workout is all core, which I personally like because I don't do enough core work.

I had heard a lot of good things about Kettlebell workouts
by Stephen J. Maher (5 out of 5 stars)
February 26, 2015

I had heard a lot of good things about Kettlebell workouts, but also knew that I hadn't really lifted weights in a long time, so I wanted to start off with something simple. The workout can really be as hard or as easy as you want it to be based on the weight of the kettlebell that you choose. I decided to start with a light 15lb kettlebell, and with this weight I still had a great workout to the point that the first couple times I was sore for a day or two afterwards.

Since then I have continued the workouts 1-2 times a week as part of working out overall and it has been a great addition to other cardio activities like running and biking.

Nice surprise
by P. Dang (5 out of 5 stars)
April 6, 2014

I have a few books about KB but had no video. Just got it yesterday. I watched everything yesterday and did the first workout today.

Very nice stuff. Great variation in the moves, fairly fast paced but you can do like I did, you stop it here and there if you need a minute or so to catch your breath. My smallest KB is 24 pounds so it makes me work for sure.

Never heard of Paul before but he is a great communicator and he found a way to introduce plenty of pointers regarding security and posture without slowing down the video.

I noticed that there are a lot extreme cross-fit people in that field. It is cool to have someone who is not pretentious and just delivers the goods nicely.

It's a great DVD for beginners and intermediates. The pros can benefit as well as long as they use a heavier weight. Nice job!

Good workout
by Grandma Linda (5 out of 5 stars)

I wanted to try kettlebells because I've seen such good results in friends with them. There are so few workouts! I always choose women instructors, and assumed this was one from the photo, but the instructor is male. However, he is very good and explains clearly, showing moves with his two women assistants, which helps. It's not a creative workout, no fancy footwork ... just the moves, ma'am! I'm OK with that. I think this covers the basics and allows me to move to heavier weights when I choose to. I do think kettlebells work.

Workout seems great! but..
by lola's mom (4 out of 5 stars)
February 19, 2018

I am very new to this type of workout and needed a beginner Video . I like the instructional segment and haven't gotten any further but plan on trying it.. My ISSUE is that he never once suggests a weight to start out at.. or gives suggestions depending on health issues such as bad back or knees. I see "she" has a smaller weight than instructor but still would of been nice to know.
