(More customer reviews)This is a follow along-type cardio workout using one kettlebell. The workout is a circuit with three rounds, each round consisting of two or three exercise movements done almost with no rest in between the movements. On the DVD the workout is done twice, but the viewer is instructed that if two circuits is not enough one can start the workout all over again.
All of the movements are of very basic in nature, and the whole workout is constructed using only a handful of different exercises. The rep range is 5 reps per hand in the presses, and ten reps in swings. For some reason, the rep range in one arm rows is six per arm. Before the actual workout begins, there is a warm-up that consists of three Turkish get ups per side. On several occasions, the instructor is counting too many repetitions on the exercises: if the target number of reps is ten, she might actually do 12-13 repetitions. This is not a major issue, but it can be a little confusing.
There is a time counter between the rounds to show how much time you have to rest before the next round starts. This rest period is 30 seconds between the rounds, and 45 seconds between circuits. But since the instructor is giving advice before each round in the first circuit, the actual rest period is closer to 60 seconds than 30 seconds. I would have preferred if you could switch the instructions off, to even out the rest periods between the rounds. Also, having to go through the same instructions every time you do the workout, it can get somewhat annoying with repetitive use. During the rest period, there is a reminder of which exercises the next round consists of, and there are brief instructions on how to perform them. This is a great idea, as you can prepare mentally for the next round during the rest period.
Although the movements utilized in the workout are very basic in nature, they are not properly instructed in the DVD. So, although this workout is suitable for beginners, you still need to know the exercises beforehand. You can increase the toughness of the workout by selecting a heavier weight, but still this is basically a beginner level workout. Nothing wrong with that, but it's worth mentioning that the workout is a bit too easy for advanced or even intermediate trainers.
