Product Description
Product Description
In Russia, kettlebells have long been revered as the fitness-tool of choice for Olympic athletes, elite special forces and martial artists. The kettlebell's ballistic movement challenges the body to achieve an unparalleled level of physical conditioning and overall strength. But until now, the astonishing benefits of the Russian kettlebell have been unavailable to all but a few women. Kettlebells have mostly been the sacred preserve of the male professional athlete, the military and other hardcore types. That's about to change, as Russian fitness expert and best selling author Pavel, delivers the first-ever kettlebell program for women. It's wild, but women really can have it all when they access the magical power of Russian kettlebells. Pavel's uncompromising workouts give across-the-board, simultaneous, spectacular and immediate results for all aspects of physical fitness: strength, speed, endurance, fat-burning, you name it. Kettlebells deliver any and everything a woman could want -- if she wants to be in the best-shape-ever of her life. And one handy, super-simple tool -- finally available in woman-friendly sizes -- does it all. No bulky, expensive machines. No complicated gizmos. No time-devouring trips to the gym.

Format:Paperback
Kettlebells are a great way to work out at home, they take up minimal space, making a good doorstop. Don't kid yourself, in order to work out well you must sweat and groan, and done properly a kettlebell workout will do just that. I really think you need the dvd to see the moves done properly and would recommend that you get that - if you only get one thing, the dvd rather than the book. You will also need a kettlebell of course. They are not cheap. Unless you are already very strong and fit you will need to start with a small one, 8kg would be very challenging for most women. I use a 12 kg and can get a very tough workout out of it. And I lift weights (big ones) on a regular basis and am pretty strong and fit.

This and it's compatriot for male kettlebell enthusiasts (Enter the Kettlebell) are great books for learning the techniques required for the various must do lifts. While it is not as good as viewing the real thing (for this Pavel also has matching DVD's) the teaching points are clear and explicit with clear pictures demonstrating how to perform and how not to perform while also giving advice as to how to strengthen weak points in your technique. As a certified Kettlebell Instructor in the UK I use these books as a point of reference and recommend them also to my clients if they are really committed to improving their performance/fat burning potential or whatever their goal is. The writing style is also very easy to read with some good background into the benefits of kettlebell training and some ideas for program design.

My opinion
This book is good for those who are in the intermediate stages of weight training/body sculting. I would not suggest this is ideal for beginners as kettlebells need to be handled... Read more
