Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout 2: Exceed Your Limits

Being a certified yoga instructor, avid road cyclist and one that practices Kettlebell regularly, the instruction video is too fast paced for those new to Kettlebell and even for the experienced. Lacks proper instruction. The video is produced on a beach, not great for many of us that do not work out on a beach. There is not enough emphasis on safety, proper technique and form.. I would use the word CAUTION performing the routines especially lunges and single arm squats for those new to Kettlebell. Proper warm-up, rest, and sequencing is paramount to avoid injury. Being Extreme is fine, but safety is more important, An injury can wipe out all the hard work in a flash!

I combined this one and the second DVD and the workouts are fresh and tuff... Thanks Joe Rogan for putting this guy on..

The workout is awesome and tough!

Horrible! do NOT buy this. Half of it doesn't even use a kettle bell!It starts out with turning in a circle 20 times. Dumb!

Extreme is the right word, I wanted something similar to insanity. I'll list the bad first.Cons:1 video quality and music is pretty crappy, it's pretty much a home video of a dude working out.2 One awesome workout (that I know of so far) miscounts pretty bad. It's a ladder workout with exercises switching from left to right, 5 reps down to 1. Almost every round he accidentally skips a workout or 2. (It's like "hey we skipped presses on the right side again) For a pro video that you pay for, you think they would proof read it before submission.3 The editing is a little fast. You have to have the remote in your hands next to your KB sometimes. You press play, and it's like "OK 10 of these" You should announce each workout with one example first like insanity, plus give the viewer a couple seconds to get equipment ready.Pros: Definitely intense. This guy is a freakin' animal, you better know your stuff first. I'm new to kettle bells, I just got a 20 KG bell and I am fried after each workout. The guy says, "OK ten snatches on the right! Ten overhead squats! Ten of these!" And he does the reps and transitions crazy fast. I had to stop from time to time to teach myself snatches or get my OH squats down pat.There are about 10 workouts or so, averaging around 5-7 minutes. One day I might do cardio and squats, then do the core routine a couple times. You can mix and match how you like which is cool. This is not a video where you press play and workout for 40 minutes straight with breaks, they're intense 5 minute videos.This is my first KB video, so I have nothing to compare it too. The quality and production is definitely B rated compared to insanity since he doesn't have a mic, but still a great workout. I've had my a** handed to me every time. I do a few of these plus additional exercises of my own afterwards, and I'll be 100% soaked.Difficulty Level: I work out 6 days a week, some running, power lifting, rucking, body weight, etc. If you are between this and a Jillian Michaels DVD, you're probably in the wrong section. This is tough with a 44 lbs bell. I guess if you have the luxury of going lighter maybe it will be easier.Keith Weber is a good workout host. (or whatever that's called) Not as dorky as Tony Little or charismatic like Shaun T. but he's straight to the point and has a good attitude. The routines are pretty well structured.$30 is a little expensive for a cheap production but I don't regret the purchase, definitely a good tool for the arsenal. I'd imagine you would get ripped pretty fast with this one.* The only equipment required is 1 kettle bell. And maybe a mat for the core section.
