What is your favorite kettlebell workout?

I prefer The Skogg System and dvds by Sarah Lurie, Lauren Brooks, and Andrea DuCane. These are serious kettlebell workouts. There are a lot of dvds that are aerobics using a kettlebell. I would also recommend instructional dvds by Pavel Tsatsouline and The Great Kettlebell Dvd. These dvds will show you how to do the exercise but it's up to you to create a workout. Some workout samples are available on YouTube if you want a demonstration before buying.

Except for the yoga (because I need to learn yoga positions) other two videos are great.IF you are thinking about kettlebell, I would for sure try brook benton.

I like the GoFit workouts, but I like Amy Dixon's Raise Some Bell workout better. Both are good workouts, I just prefer Amy Dixon's style.

I would say Dynamic Core from the Beta Phase of T25. But in my opinion, the best is still Ab Ripper X from P90x.

The dvd has different women doing different levels of each workout, ranging from beginner to advanced. I purchased a 5-20 adjustable kettlebell so I cud start light and increase over time. Im now following the advanced fast track program where u do 2 workouts back to back and rest the next day and so on. My goal was to lose 8 lbs in 8 weeks. Ive already lost 6.5 lbs in 6 weeks by following this program along with a clean and energizing diet of lean protein, veggies, complex carbs, nuts, 8-10 glasses of water and 1300 mg max sodium intake. Tracking my food on fitness pal app helps tremendously along with a heart rate monitor during the workouts. Best of luck!

YOU are going to want to mix it up. The Core Speed is a good one to use in between transitions of T25 Focus. I have to say, that after doing Insanity a few times, and P90x3, the T25 is great. My wife even started doing it instead of her regular class at the Y which is pretty intense. You really do get a great workout from T25, and for those like me who have limited time due to Job, and family responsibilities, it's been fantastic.

The one I purchased was I also purchased some other workouts and they were all authentic., with that said this one is my favorite. I purchased insanity and aslyum 2 and t25 from beachbody but I got a better deal from amazon.Hope that helps.

Im not familiar with Lauren Brooks' workouts but if you are already accustomed to a 15 lb kettlebell you may be able to start this workout with 15lb. I bought a 5-20lb adjustable kettlebell; started at 8lbs and worked my way up to 15lbs.

I use a 10 pound kettlebell myself. That weight works well, seems to be heavy enough to feel the workout but not too heavy so that you can't perform the exercises.

Weighted squats: step on band & handles at shoulders. Look on youtube.com search "exercise bands workouts" Bodylastics has great workouts.

I would start with the blue DVD, the first work out 'mark, move and groove' . The next work outs get progressively harder.

I did insanity first and found that it was a little hard on my knees and hips, but I really loved the workout. I ordered T25 because it looked fun and I needed a shorter (but intense) workout for when I travel (which is a lot!)...plus I love Shaun T! :) I was pleasantly surprised when after doing T25 for 3 weeks I realized my joints weren't hurting at all! There is a modifier (Tania) for every move so if you're just starting out, or something is hurting you, you can follow her and the workout is still intense and fun. Good Luck!

I only bought this DVD as I am not a "work out person" and I didn't want to have the set of 7-10 DVD. I love this DVD as is fast and you can go in your own pace, there is one of the people on the video that does the exercises as a "beginner" so I follow her all the time and when I think I can do more I just do the regular exercises. If you just want to start a routine I would recommend this DVD!

Some of the programs suggested in the DVD seem a little extreme. I've had good success working from the poster that accompanies some shipments or can be found online. It shows thirty or forty different ways to use the body blade with a short description. When I'm starting a workout program including the body blade I look at the poster and select a few different exercises that I think will complement the other elements of my workout well. I then run through the selected exercises in a series doing each exercise for 20 seconds with a five to ten second rest between exercises. Once I begin to feel comfortable at my starting level I'll increase the exercise time to 30 seconds. When that becomes comfortable I'll either add new exercises or increase the number of sets. The beauty of the body blade is that it combines some of the elements of hydraulic resistance in that you can change the intensity of the workout simply by increasing the energy you put into the exercise with the flexibility of free weights allowing you to adapt exercises to target whatever area you want to focus on. Hope that helps.

Greg - mine shipped direct from Kettler but was coordinated through Unique Fitness. There was a little snafu in arranging delivery once it got to my city as they use a common carrier given overall size. I found Unique to be very accomodating through the process.

It is definitely a good idea to have two kettle bells of the same weight. It greatly increases the number of different workouts you can do. However, if you are new to the kettle bell I would recommend starting with one at a weight you are comfortable with (test with a dumb bell). When it feels like you are ready to increase the weight, get one of the same weight for double kettle bell workouts and a single heavier one for single workouts.There are a wide variety of workouts available on You Tube.

I think it could benefit men or women. Men would probably want a heavier kettlebell since typically they have greater upper body strength.

This is absolutely my favorite exercise DVD series. Yes, I've lost weight using this, and definitely toned up on this. If it's been a while since exercising be prepared to take breaks occasionally. My go to DVD...

I have the fluidity barre and use it with my physique57 dvd's but I have also used the dvdks without the barre and had good results. I just started doing the monthly challenge and I'm already seeing results.
