I was looking for more...,

This review is from: From Russia with Tough Love: Pavel's Kettlebell Workout for a Femme Fatale (Paperback)
While I was hoping this would be THE kettlebell book, it just didn't live up to the hype. Lots of writing, some photos, but not enough (in my opinion) to give a beginner a really good foundation in kettlebell moves, proper form, etc. Perhaps better for an experienced user to keep boredom at bay.
I would recommend Body Strong Kettlebell Blitz For Beginners over this book.

Not overpriced,
By Jim Curry (MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Russia with Tough Love: Pavel's Kettlebell Workout for a Femme Fatale (Paperback)
Resistance training is entirely new to me. For that reason, an associate of Mr. Tsatsouline suggested "Tough Love" as a good starting place for me. I began by buying one (35 lb.) kettlebell and the associated video. The video is quite specifically instructional and very cleverly and efficiently arranged. Mr. Tsatsouline explains in economical detail exactly what should be done and (as importantly) exactly what must be avoided. At the same time, attractive (and very strong) female associates demonstrate, both in front view and side view how the moves are accomplished. The way to prove whether a product is good or bad is to learn its proper use and then use it consistently, almost every day, for a long time. If you find improvement in yourself, then the product is good. Otherwise, it is a bad or worthless product. I am already getting good results. Of at least the same importance, the exercises don't hurt me (at the time I do them). I don't feel as though I am systematically injuring myself by doing the exercises (as is sometimes the case with other resistance training that I've tried---very briefly---and abandoned). Although my own personal proof of this particular pudding is not yet finished, it appears to be going very well. Apparently, this book/video combination gives very true and useful information in exercise physiology---information many of us can use very much. Realizing that we are paying for information that we can use to improve our own physical lives a lot, I have to conclude that the materials are not overpriced. Ineffective instructional materials are overpriced. This, apparently, is worth the price (and probably more), contrary to some other reviews.

Best workout book!,

This review is from: From Russia with Tough Love: Pavel's Kettlebell Workout for a Femme Fatale (Paperback)
Pavel gives a simple straightforward workout, with emphasis onsteady progress and safe technique. I have the tape also and it helps, but if you can only afford one, get the book. There are excellent illustrations, comments from other kettlebell users, and Pavel's dry wit throughout. I started this program to strengthen my back. I am staying with it because IT IS FUN! To quote Pavel, "Comrade Ladies, enjoy!"
