New Reviews: Kettlebell Workout DVDs
With the popularity of Kettlebell training, I'm getting a lot of questions from readers about what it is and how to get started. Kettlebell training is very dynamic and can be strenuous, which is one reason it's best to learn from an experienced instructor. If you're like me, you may not have classes or instructors available near you but, if you're a regular exerciser, you're strong and you pick up new exercises quickly, a video might be the next best thing. There are tons of kettlebell videos out there and as soon as my clone shows up, I plan on reviewing them all. In the meantime, I've reviewed three different kettlebell videos that may help you decide. Gin Miller's Calorie Burning Kettlebell Workout - This beginner DVD includes 3 different workouts, about 10-20 minutes long, with lots of great instruction and information. While I like Gin Miller and I did like some aspects of this DVD, it was my least favorite. She doesn't include many traditional kettlebell moves and her instruction may get tedious over time. Still, she has some creative exercises that I'll incorporate into my own workouts. Kettlebell 3-in-1 with Amy Bento - This is probably my favorite beginner video because it includes a detailed tutorial section that explains some of the traditional kettlebell exercises. There's a beginner routine, which is a great way to perfect the moves, and the intermediate workout kicks things up with fun combinations. Kettlebell Dynamics with Amy Bento - This is the second Amy Bento video and the most advanced of the videos I reviewed. This one quickly became one of my favorites because of the creative, fun and challenging combinations. Like the other videos, this one includes 3 different 20-minute workouts with lots of combinations. This one is definitely for more advanced kettlebell exercisers, but a great choice if you're ready to step things up. Do you have any favorite kettlebell videos? Leave a comment and tell us about them. New Reviews: Kettlebell Workout DVDs originally appeared on About.com Exercise on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 at 05:00:15.Permalink | Comment | Email this
