Rating: 5.0
So far so good
I usually don't write reviews, but I really wanted to say something about this dvd. I have been trying kettlebells for a little over a year, and when I say trying, its because I never really got into them enough to see any kind of real difference. I am not a huge work out person, I have a lot of trouble staying focused, and I'm impatient, but I really liked this.PROS: *I am very much a beginner, and only had to watch the 1st section, (instructional) once. I often have a lot of problem with form, and that may be why I haven't seen good results before. This was very easy to pick up, due to diligent instruction.*I really liked Lisa, and I normally cant stand the instructors on videos. She seemed more like a "real" person, albeit a real person that is 1000 percent more in shape than me.*Good results, in short time. Not claiming miracles here, but I started doing this slowly 3 weeks ago. I started just doing the lower body, and stopping. within the week, doing the upper and lower body, and in the last 4 days or so adding the circuit training. Although I only do the beginners level, and do not repeat any of the exercises, I have seen an improvement in my body already. Not a huge one of course, and I have also adjusted my diet. But i have noticed I have more stamina, I feel better, I feel like my strength has improved. I do think if I stick with it, I will be my goal weight soon, realistically. And that's a great feeling.CONS:*This is a huge one, whats up with the rest periods? I started fast forwarding through them, or else I would be completely off track, and lose stride. If you actually do every rest like it comes up, half of your work out would be dead air.*Lack of tracks, you hit next on the remote, you immediately go to the next work out. Or is this Lisa's way of making sure you don't skip parts?All in all, I think it's pretty solid, and I'm really glad I purchased it. I've had a few friends try it out, and they have all been pretty impressed. I would definitely recommend it, and i am not affiliated with Lisa in any way. Just a bigger girl who wants to fir into her old pants again.
