Solid WorkoutSep 05, 2008
By C. R. MCDANIEL
First time using a kettlebell in any type of workout. I found the FIRM's 5lb KB easy to use. The one issue I had is that during certain moves the KB would scrape the back of my knuckels.
Kelsie is absolutely superb and precise in her instructions. The KB is used in over 60% of the workout. The warmup and cooldown do not use the KB. Also there are 2 to 3 cardio intensifiers that don't use the KB. During the KB portion of the workout you are doing traditional type moves such as biceps, tricpes, and on arm rows. You also do a few swinging type moves and moves where you change the KB from hand to hand.
The hardest move for me was the "Turkish Getup" (I believe that is what Kelsie called it). This move uses the KB. While lying down you have to roll your body up into a standing position using mostly one foot and then you roll yourself back down to the floor. I am going to need to practice this move. The DVD includes a nice 8 min core workout that uses the KB. As the headline states, I thought the workout was solid.
Minor issues with the video, I could barely hear the music. Kelsie was signficantly louder than the music. Some of the camera angles were a bit haphazard.

Great Workout but.....Dec 16, 2008
By KathyTNT

This is a great full body workout - Would like the music a little stronger. I purchased this kit before I got my russian kettlebell certification. Lot of great basics and non-kettlebell moves.
Workout great - Kettebell not so great! This small kettlebell needs a differnt type of handle. I do not have large hands and it is hard to work with. I went out and purchased a 10 lb kettlebell from Target. This one from Go Fit was much easier to work with. If you don't thnk you are ready for a 10 lb there is also 7 lb ones available.

 Back Problems?Feb 04, 2009
By Karen Eidson Harvey
"legal chick"
I workout often with an exercise ball and this was my first time to use a kettlebell. I am 50 years old but in great physical shape except for a car accident 3 years ago that hurt my back. The range of motion for the kettlebell is great, however, she does a sit-up that eventually is a sit-up to standing up, that is impossible to do if you have any sort of back or neck problems. When I read other reviews I thought this would be perfect but I can only do parts of it.

 Hated It The First Time, But Now I Love ItMay 27, 2009
By LAF
I have to admit that the first time I did the DVD, I hated every last grueling moment of it. I was out of breath... okay gasping for breath and felt like I was literally going to sweat every ounce I fluid in my body. But, I kept with it and it got easier. Two weeks later, I found myself 6 pounds lighter - of course the loss was a combination between the workouts and a 1200 calorie diet. You will workout hard with this, but you will also get results. I am a size smaller!
I tried the Biggest Loser Workouts, specifically the 30 Day Shred and they don't even compare. I am a FIRM believer! Trust me, if you want results, this is the way to go.

Used a few times, nowDec 06, 2008
By Katielee

I just got this and over all I like it. The cueing is very good, but I have difficulty with the kettleball. Although I know there is going to be some give with it, I'm having difficulty gripping and stabilizing it enough to not hurt myself. Once warmed up and perspiring a bit, it really slips, scraping my knuckles and banging my wrist-I'm pretty sure I could end up bruised. Tensing because of this takes some of the enjoyment of the workout out of it. Although if you have bigger hands, it may not be much of a problem.
I see some have a coating on the handle and I think it might be a good idea to put something on the handle to improve grip during manufacture.
But it is good work-out. All in all I would recommend this highly.
****I'm going to amend this**** All of the above still applies however I'm getting a bit discouraged. This has bruised my wrists & scraped my knuckles because I just can't seem to get enough of a grip on it it to stabilize it. Even the smoother moves bounce and rub on my wrists.
I know these are the latest things going but I don't know that they are such a great idea, especially if you don't have larger sturdy hands. I'm kind of sorry at this point I bought it. I find working out with it rather fustrating as I'm tensed and bracing against the impact of the kettleball.It's hard to focus on the work-out when the accessory is causing pain.
