Format:Paperback
I have to have a book on everything that I am interested in; what a lot of books. I can work well from Kettlebells for Dummies, and can make sure I have good form, and really benefit from the ten minutes a day of Kettlebell-ing that I fit in. The book answers all my questions. It is well planned, easy to follow, plenty of pictures. Describes all the basic moves, such as swinging, squats, the clean, overhead press etc. leading up to the advanced combination moves, goes into all aspects of using Kettlebells in depth, without overload. Has sections for specific people, such as seniors, pregnancy, teenagers etc. I have had a good course of six Kettlebell sessions in a class, but had studied this book beforehand - it helped me to get the most out of the lessons, and now it is my at-home "instructor". There are plenty of workout routines to choose from. Some people may prefer to work with DVD's; I find I need the right book on hand, and learn more thoroughly if I have to think what I'm doing for myself to some extent. This is the right book to have on hand.

I bought this book as I was new to Kettlebells and wanted to learn how to use them correctly. When using Kettlebells your form is very important while performing the exercises to prevent injuries. This is addressed thoroughly by this book. The writing indicates this lady has great experience with Kettlebell training and its ideal for the beginner and advanced user. In addition to the key core exercises there are illustrations of many other exercises to introduce some variety to your training program.
