Certified instructor description: A superb introduction to kettlebells, it focuses on form and technique (the keys to safe, effective ketttlebell exercises). Amy starts with a 10-minute tutorial that shows the basic motions while also teaching the terminology (e.g. “what’s the crush and rack position?”). The first workout uses these motions in an easy-to-follow, beginner-level program. The second workout features multi-move combos and aero/tone intervals (non-kettlebell cardio segments alternated with the kettlebell toning exercises). While it’s designed “for absolute beginners,” this workout’s intensity could easily be increased with a heavier kettlebell. Requires a 5 to 20 lb. kettlebell. ©2009. DVD has: Music only option, Wide screen.

Amy Bento's Kettlebell 3-in-1

Very Good Beginner Video

Easy to follow Amy. Just the right length for a Kettlebell beginner. - posted by Felicia on 7/7/2011

Good Basic Intro

Anytime you learn something new it's good to have an uncomplicated introduction, something just like this dvd. You just get in and start learning the movements. Since the exertion can be tough quick, I liked the shorter format that could easily be lengthened by doubling the two workouts. Obviously if you want to refine the technique you should find a trainer. But if you want to get an idea if this is a workout you would like this is a good dvd. It's also a good workout to do just before a bike or run. - posted by Lisa on 4/23/2011

Kettlebell 3-in-1 with Amy Bento

This DVD for absolute beginners is a terrific way to learn the basic moves of kettle bells. She's very clear and precise in her directions so that that you move in safe ways. - posted by Meredith on 2/10/2011

perfect for beginners

This is my first time with kettlebells, and I liked it! The instructional segment was very helpful and right to the point. Amy's a great instructor, and the workout is fun. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to try kettlebells - posted by emily on 1/20/2011

Can't recommend

I'm a longtime trainer with a degree in sports medicine as well as a licensed and practicing chiropractor. I'm also already familiar with kettlebells having attended classes and workshops as well as used instructional DVDs--all by RKC and/or IKFF certified masters. So why did I get this DVD? A few reasons: a) to see if I could pick up any new ideas on how to instruct newbies to KB training; b) I was looking for a DVD for beginners at my office to use or that I could recommend they buy; c) I'm always trying to stay on top of other teaching methods. Now that that's out of the way, I just can't recommend this DVD and will be sending it back. While I like the instructor's personality and style, it is clear that she was new to KB training at the time this DVD was made. Her form is not correct on even basic moves such as the swing. I would not want a beginner learning from this DVD. Likewise, if you have already been exposed to kettlebell training this DVD will likely not be enough for you. Before I sound too harsh, I did also get the Kettlebell Dynamics DVD by this instructor and it is clear to me and my husband (a physical therapist and CSCS trainer as well) that she got some good KB training between the two DVDs. I recommend that you do the same at a kettlebell gym and/or via a workshop with KB certified instructors (RKC, AKC, IKFF, for ex) and/or via technique instruction DVDs by KB certified instructors. I'll be writing a favorable review of that one. Good luck with your training, kettlebells are a wonderful addition to your regimen. Enjoy! - posted by HMorgan on 1/4/2010

Loved it!

This is a good workout! I loved each segment. If you do both the beginner and intermediate segments back to back it makes for a great 40 min kettelbell workout. I use a 10lb kettelbell. She doesn't do a ton of reps-but it is still good for beginners and intermediate-not for advanced though. I also have the Gin miller kettelbell workout and the Iron Core Way vol. 1. I am not very advanced when it comes to kettelbell workouts, but I think they are very beneficial. Amy is an Excellent instructor,I do not have any of her other workouts because her workouts are usually very advanced, so I am glad she actually made a beginer workout so I would get to see how her style is. - posted by TracyAZGirl on 8/2/2009

Pretty Good for Beginners.

It's not a bad workout--I liked Amy's demeanor, she took time explaining the moves and seemed very friendly and caring, but after doing Lauren Brooks kettlebell workout and the 10 min. Solution, I don't think this one was much of a challenge. Even using a heavier bell and the intermediate workout, she doesn't do enough reps to actually give you much of a workout. I think it would be a pretty good workout for someone just beginning with kettlebells, except that Amy puts her hand on her thighs when doing swings, etc... And in my other kettlebell workouts it says not to do that, to keep your arms out to the side, away from your body. So I'd say if you are a beginner and a big Amy fan, you'd probably like this workout, but keep in mind that she isn't really doing the kettlebell moves properly. - posted by Jayne on 5/31/2009

Another good one from Amy; just wish it was longer.

This is a good workout for the beginner or intermediate kettlebell enthusiast. I enjoyed it for the first time this morning—Amy provides clear instruction and details as usual. I wish it had been a little longer, but both 20-minute workouts can be combined to get a solid, advanced-level kettlebell workout with a heavier weight. The intermediate section is my favorite, because I love the hand-to-hand swings, presses with two-handed squats, etc. I also appreciated the additional 2-minute stretch provided, to aid in greater flexibility. The music is also a plus! I am really looking forward to her new “Dynamics” workout after seeing these routines. - posted by Anita on 3/3/2009

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.

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).

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.
