Certified instructor description: Alternating intervals of heavy-weight kettlebell toning and fast-moving kickbox aerobics. It's a unique combination that builds a sculpted body as it burns calories. The two exercise styles are very different. The kettlebell intervals are performed at a deliberate tempo with detailed cuing and a clear focus on technique. Often working two body parts at once, they emphasize strength, power and control. The cardio kickboxing segments are fast-paced and exceptionally varied (definitely not an endless series of "punch and kick" combos). They emphasize energy, excitement and fun. Requires two heavy kettlebells (Amy's are 26 lbs.). But the DVD also shows easy-to-follow insets of the same moves using dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: 3 premixes (39 to 64-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Amy Bento Ross' KB2 (KB Squared)
Awesome!!!!
Love it, love it, love it! Amy is great she keeps you motivated and all her workouts are definitely advanced I love it! The best part about this kickboxing workout is that you are barefoot I feel my muscles differently then when I have shoes. Makes a great difference and the kettlebells rock! thank you Amy! - posted by Heather on 4/11/2012

It's exactly as described
I'm not sure from the other reviews what type of kettlebell instruction they have but I found the instruction on Amy's Dvd right on mark. She has excellent form and is using proper technique. If you have not had any instructor training with Kettlebells I do not recommend this for you, this is for someone who not only has the correct shaped kettlebells but has attended live classes. I love the new moves in the kickboxing segments as they are new and not the same thing over and over. She does an excellent job of combining both techniques and delivering a great work out in the process. - posted by Jamie on 1/5/2012

not for the beginner
another great heavy kettlebell workout! work my muscles to fatigue then get heartrate up again with some martial arts moves...very innovative - posted by Lisa on 10/21/2011

just ok
I like Amy a lot and own several of her other DVDs. I particularly like her Kettlebell Dynamics workout which has just the right mix of cardio and kbell variety and intensity. I expected this one to be similar and kbell with kickboxing, two of my favorite styles, sounded perfect, but was a little disappointed that it didn't flow as well. When I first tried it, I didn't like it at all, but after a couple of times it grew on me. However, the fun factor is low and in my opinion it doesn't even come close to Kettlebell Dynamics (or the kettlebell workouts from my other favorites), although I found it better than her other new RKC workout. - posted by holly on 9/25/2011

Did not like it at all!
Well, it seems like this DVD has mixed reviews. For me, I thought this kettlebell workout wasn't great. There were awkward movements, I almost dislocated something in my back when I lifted both kettlebells. I agree with some of the reviews that said that Amy's form wasn't very good. SORRY! - posted by Sharon on 9/23/2011

KB 2 Is a challenging, unique and fun workout.
I love doing Kettlebells and was looking for something challenging and different. KB 2 is what I was looking for. It not only challenges your body but your mind. If you are looking for something different and fun I highly recommend it. I am an advanced fitness enthusiast. Amy as always is professional and highly motivational. Thanks for making another fab workout. - posted by Phoenix on 9/16/2011

Great Workout
I have quite a bit of experience with kettlebells, and use pretty heavy bells. I really liked this workout, and noticed great improvements in Amy's form over her previous kettlebell video. I really liked the kickbox combos as well. Even the warmup was a lot of fun. This one is a keeper for me. - posted by Hilarie on 9/12/2011

It's a Kettlebell Workout
As I read the reviews on this, I'm really wondering what they were expecting? It's a kettlebell workout people. If you don't like the kettlebell then why purchase the workout? This is actually what you would be doing if you were versed in how to use a kettlebell. Yes she gives examples using free weight but in all this is a kettlebell workout (KB??). If you haven't had any training in kettlebells then I would suggest you get some before tackling this DVD or any kettlebell DVDs, you will thank yourself later. - posted by Patricia on 9/7/2011

BAD
THIS is what she does with her RKC? Horrible. Creativity with cardio is one thing but with kettlebells - well in this case, it is just plain awkward and dangerous. Two thumbs WAY down. - posted by Susan W. on 9/2/2011

Crazy workout...not in a good way
This workout is insane. Amy has an exercise where you put your two feet on the floor and you are on on hand and in the other hand, you have a kettlebell. Its insane. I crashed down and the kettlebell almost fell on me. Wow...and I am not clumsy..I don't know what she was thinking but I don't recommend this workout to anyone, the chance of injury is too great. - posted by Anna on 8/31/2011

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
