Certified instructor description: A super-tough, total-body program that uses two heavy kettlebells (but most exercises can be done with just one bell). The fast pace burns calories while the heavy weight levels totally challenge every muscle (like the original “Russian-style” exercises). You get three 19 to 20-minute aero/tone interval segments. Each one features three combos — about one minute of aerobics and five minutes of toning. The cardio ranges from kettlebell jump squats to non-bell jacks. But it’s the exceptionally varied toning that’s truly intense (e.g. multiple overhead swings, push-ups on the bells, parallel bar-type “levitations”). Superb, one-on-one, cue-ahead instruction. Requires one or two heavy kettlebells (Amy's are 20 lb.). Uses lots of floor space. ©2009. DVD has: 3 premixes (29 to 33 min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus.

Amy Bento's Kettlebell Dynamics
Challenging!
The box says previous kettlebell experience required for a reason-these moves are tough. First of all, Amy's queuing is great, she is upbeat & pleasant. I like intervals, short bursts & recovery, & this video does just that. I'm an experienced, multi-crosstraining, 57 year old exerciser, and this video was a challenge for me. She moves quickly. There were a few moves I had never tried before i.e. rolling from my back up to a standing position. I don't say I was graceful, but I did the rolls! I'm always up to learning new things, even if it's challenging! - posted by Karen on 9/10/2011

OK...not too difficult
After doing Paul Katami's Kettlebell Drills and getting my but kicked in a 32 minute workout I was looking forward to this one getting my heart rate up while strength training and it really didn't. The moves weren't too creative or difficult, too many breaks I think... - posted by Meghan on 5/29/2011

Awesome DVD!
Love this workout! Challenging, with a variety of fun and effective moves plus great cardio bursts. This is one of my go-to, all-around workouts. Like the pre-mix option for days when I'm short on time, but still want an efficient workout. I'm 36 and enjoy alternating workout days with boot-camp style workouts, strength training, elliptical and running. - posted by Debbie on 4/1/2011

Love it!
I'm going on 48 years old and started with a kettlebell workout in January. I bought this one to add some variety. This was the first of Amy Bento's I have purchased, and I love her workouts. I didn't realize the workouts were in four sections complete with a stretch afterward, but I keep going through all four for an hour-long workout, and it really works my body. I'd purchase another one of her workouts and probably will in the future. - posted by Tamora on 3/24/2011

Fun and Challening
This was my first Kettlebell workout and I love it. I do step aerobics, run, kick-boxing, weight training, Yoga, and I am always looking for a new way to workout. This switches things up and keeps it interesting. I am never bored with this workout and I get a good challenge. I appreciate that Amy is effective with the workout and doesn't rush through the movements. She is a great instructor. - posted by Sunshine on 3/22/2011

I love this video. great stuff - posted by chrystine on 3/3/2011

Best workout ever!
I love this workout so much; Amy Bento is very engaging and the workout is so much fun! I can actually use heavier kettlebells to gain the strength I desire while improving my cardiovascular system. Amy please give us more!!!!! - posted by La Tona on 2/13/2011

Love it!
This is a great workout video using kettle bells. Amy's form is really great, and I like that I can do the kb stuff after my speed work runs. As a martial artist, I find Amy's workout routines to be quick, precise and effective. Keep 'em coming, Amy! - posted by Susie on 11/21/2010

Thumbs Up for Kettlebell Workout!
This is my first Amy Bento DVD, and I really liked it. I had only done the training DVD I received with the kettlebells which was only about 25 minutes long. I was looking for something more involved, and this DVD delivered. Even though I am new to kettlebells, this DVD was not too difficult with moves, and it still got my heart rate up. I do the entire workout which is about 80 minutes. Amy's style is not too perky and not too serious-in other words, just right. The only move I find too difficult is when she rolls on her back and then gets up. I just jog in place during that move. The rest of the moves I can do. I do this workout at least once a week. I would highly recommend this DVD. - posted by Rita on 11/11/2010

fast moving and fun
I found this DVD challenging and fun. I stuck with a 15lb kettlebell throughout the workout, but I think Ms. Bento has inspired me to get a 20lb bell. I don't have two kettlebells of the same weight so for the doubles I improvised using dumbbells. I like how these workouts are sectioned so I can do one, two, or all of them, vary the order or do pre-mixes. Like some other Collagers, while I found the abs toning exercises different and interesting, I didn't feel like they truly targeted my abs - but no worries, because lots of the drills in the main sections sure hit my abs. I like Ms. Bento and am impressed by the weights she uses and the pace she keeps. This DVD is a keeper! - posted by Susan W. on 11/1/2010

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).

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.
