 a novice workout January 7, 2009
This is a follow along -type cardio workout using one kettlebell. The workout consists of three circuits, and the circuits are comprised of rounds of exercise done with 30 seconds of rest between circuits. Every circuit in the workout is different, although they contain the same exercises. The exercises came in different order in each circuit, and they are combined differently in rounds in every circuit. This adds variety to the workout, but on the other hand, it makes the workout somewhat confusing as it takes some time to learn the order of exercise in each circuit.
Between the rounds, there is a rest period of 30 seconds, and during this time there is a time counter to show how much you can rest before the next round starts. During the rest periods there are brief instructions on how to perform the exercises used in the next round. This instruction is very brief, however, and acts merely as a reminder of key points.
The film has an instructional section, where some key exercises are instructed. The instruction is reasonably detailed, so that a total beginner could probably learn the exercises by following these instructions. However, a large number of exercises used in the workout are not instructed in this section at all; they are gone through in hurried manner during the workout. This in turn makes the rest periods longer than the intended 30 seconds. I find it somewhat strange that they have opted to make a separate instructions section and have not included all exercises in it, but still use time to instruct the exercises during the workout.
This workout is not very good, in my opinion. It is challenging enough for a novice trainer, but it's not suitable for total beginners as not all exercises are instructed properly, and they use some exercises that are technically too demanding for a beginner. On the other hand, the workout is too slow paced for intermediate trainers.
 DVD great for the beginner January 3, 2009

I just bought the 10 lb kettlebell and the DVD. The video is very easy to follow, and just gets down to it without a lot of fluff talk. I personally like that aspect when you are going to be using a DVD over and over again. I think the video is done in a very straight logical way. I am 57 year old woman and out of shape at the moment, but I think that this is doable. One can really get your lungs going and the heart rate up fast with this. There is a total of 3 complete circuts. I am going to have to build up to complete those. IF you are an out of shape lady, I would recommend the ten pound weight to start out with. IT is the beginning of a new year, and I have a new vision for health. I think this is help.
Don't be fooled by Sarah Lurie's cute smile. This is an amazing workout October 18, 2008

Don't be fooled by Sarah Lurie's cute smile. This is an amazing workout.
I just got a kettlebell and was looking for a instructional/workout video to help me get started. After watching alot of web videos with poor production values and reading the amazon reviews of other kettlebell videos, I purchased Volume 1 & 2 of the Kettlebells, the Iron Core way.
The videos are professional and well edited into foundation exercises and circuit. The exercises are demonstrated with attention to proper form. The circuit is straight forward with rests between exercises and it is a great workout.
I highly recommend.

I thought this was a bit boring. Maybe for the beginner it would be good, but for more advanced it is not very challenging, nor inspiring.
Just what I needed October 5, 2008

I was looking for a workout that would work specifically my legs and this is it!! I was very excited to start this program after I had heard it was a great workout from friends. I needed something that would help build muscle in my legs as I am trying to recover from ACL reconstruction surgery. Alot of the exercises I do in this workout resemble the ones I do in physical therapy and it really does workout the thighs, and every other muscle in the upper leg. Its a great workout and I cant wait to start the second DVD, and the third!!!
