Three manageable workout combinations with cardio intervals. Goes by quickly and gets you sweating. Make sure you watch the intro or know how to do the moves before doing workout.

Nice Workout....but you need to know kbells,
By Beeah - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Amy Bento: Kettlebell Dynamics (DVD)
I've been working out with Kettlebells for over 2 years I would not recommend this for beginners. These workouts(3 complete workouts plus 3 pre-mixes)are challenging, but doable,I found it fun,and creative. This is my 1st video by Amy Bento, and I like her as an instructor. Amy does show some limited modification for some of the cardio and KBell moves, but not much. The trickiest Kbell moves for me would have to be the push ups in the "horns" down position and the swings, tap, change hands, if you attempt swings, tap, change hands move... you might want to try it outside 1st, you just might drop the bell...it is a fun move however. The most challenging cardio move for me was the "Deck Squats" done for 1 full minute at a rapid pace. My favorite KBell move in this video was the "wood-chop" swings, really got my heart-rate up, a great fat burner and total body exercise...great for the abs to. What I didn't like about this workout was Amy did something like a cardio warm-up instead of joint mobility, but because her cardio was mostly plyo, she may have felt she needed the warm-up. Also I didn't like the jerky editing in some of the premixes, I'm spoiled by Cathe's smooth transition in their premixes. The KBell moves are advance and you can really see Phil Ross's (Certified RKC Level 2 and now her husband)influences in parts of this dvd. Amy's form is not perfect and with some of her moves you may have to modify to prevent injuries. For the most part I enjoyed this dvd and use it when I want to change thing up a bit. Note if you're a Kettlebell purist you probably will not like this DVD,(for you purist try Lauren Brooks DVDs, they're excellent), but if you want a non-traditional fun change of pace Kettlebell workout you'll love it

Heavy Kettlebell + Cardio Intervals,
By dusty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Amy Bento: Kettlebell Dynamics (DVD)
Amy tops the list of instructors for me. Her personality is just great and she is really good at creating advanced workouts. This one alternates kettlebell moves with cardio blasts which makes this a very effective routine. She uses a 20 lb. kettlebell and one move even uses 2 kbells - wow. I'm a heavy-weight junkie, so this is right up my alley. Some moves I have to modify or switch to a lighter kbell, but I love the challenge. Also has some premixes and an abdominal section. Amy is always creative with her ab work and this is no exception. If you love kettlebells (not the whimpy 4 lbs that is) then this is for you!

Kettlebells and Amy Bento - a perfect combination!,
By Nancy Loderick "Internet strategist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Amy Bento: Kettlebell Dynamics (DVD)
Kettlebells workouts are tough and so is Amy. I am so excited that Amy has provided an advanced kettlebell DVD. This DVD has three 20 minute routines. The first time I did this DVD I thought, "Oh, I can do at least two of the workouts since a 20 minute workout isn't very long." Boy was I wrong! I'm an advanced exerciser and I was gasping for air five minutes into the first routine. This is a good thing.This DVD is clearly for advanced exercisers who are somewhat familiar with kettlebell training. What I loved about this DVD: **the intensity! Okay, so I already said this, but it is so rare to find a truly advanced, intense workout DVD. **Amy says what weight she's using, which is helpful. She uses 20 and 25 pound kettlebells. Needless to say, I don't even come close to those weights. It's all I can do to keep up with a 12 pound kettlebell. Ah, it's something to work towards. **fun core section. I have a love/hate relationship with core work and I'm grateful to Amy for making really tough exercises fun. **separate chapter showing detailed breakdown of some of the more complex moves. Amy is a master at explaining how to do a move. Amy does this workout barefoot, which I would never attempt. I'd be too afraid that I'd drop a kettlebell on my foot. She explains that you can get a better grip on the floor and also will more easily remember to put your weight in your heels. I will stick to wearing my shoes. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone wanting a tough, yet fun kettlebell workout. |
