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:

Amy Bento's Kettlebell 3-in-1 |
| 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 |
