Kettlebell Book,

This review is from: Ultimate Kettlebells Workbook: The Revolutionary Program to Tone, Sculpt and Strengthen Your Whole Body (Paperback)
The book is a decent start for people that want to know a few kettlebell exercises and how they should be performed. The pictures are great but if you really want to be shown how to perform the exercises safely and effectively you should be coached by a professional.There is a brief description of the history of kettlebells, but there is a lack of reasoning as to why you might train with this type of equipment - something I was quite surprised about! There was nothing detailing the functionality of each exercise and why each exercise would benefit you.

informative but kindle format is hard to use,
By WCanyon - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
There's plenty of information in this book but it's very hard to use in a kindle format. For example, the beginner exercise list includes the "2-Hand Swing". OK, so I go to look for that. Well it lists a page number. There are no page numbers on a Kindle. OK plan B: table of contents. Nope, not in there, there is a section about swings though. OK plan C: read it on the PC and search for the phrase "2-Hand Swing". Third match is a hit.This means that I basically have to go through and make a highlight for all of the exercises in the book that I want to use. Lot of work when the publisher could have done that for me (by placing hyperlinks in the text next to the exercises). Also the images of the workout list are hard to read on the kindle and should be reformatted. 17 of 21 people found the following review helpful

Over complicated,

This review is from: Ultimate Kettlebells Workbook: The Revolutionary Program to Tone, Sculpt and Strengthen Your Whole Body (Paperback)
While this book contains useful information on kettlebell workouts the works are described in a very non-intuitive shorthand (see the look inside pages) and filled with unnecessary jargon. Also the find the workouts themselves to quite quirky. I have spent a little time with this book and I am a little loss as to how to put together some basic workouts with some variation. I want to get started! I haven't found the book to be useful.

Kettlebells for total body strength and conditioning,

This review is from: Ultimate Kettlebells Workbook: The Revolutionary Program to Tone, Sculpt and Strengthen Your Whole Body (Paperback)
The Ultimate Kettlebell Workbook is a very good workout book. After learning how tohandle the KB's, you the follow the workout routines. The KB's build total body strength, not ripped muscles like a bodybuilder, but total core strength. The KB's show you how out of shape you are, vs how good of shape you think you are. The best thing about KB's, is the aerobic (high heart rate) exercise you get while working out, while building body strength. Back to the book, You can learn how to design your own workouts, without going to another book or DVD. It is the total package from beginner to advanced. Steve M. |
