| Kettlebells with Gin Miller |
| I am a big fan of Gin Miller. Her instructions are clear and easy and she has a pleasant voice. I think that this is a good introduction to kettlebells. - posted by Ellen on 8/26/2010 |

| Kicked My Butt! |
| I'm always looking for ways to keep my exercise routine not routine, and I thought I'd give kettlebells a try. This is the perfect workout, because it's divided in three segments based on your endurance and fitness level. I found Gin's instructions helpful and easy to follow. Nicely done! - posted by Kathy on 8/19/2010 |

| not great cardio and not great kettlebell work |
| Normally I love Gin Miller. I have 3 of her step workouts and use them all often. I did not like this one. For me it did not provide a good intro to kettlebells compared to some other intro DVDs I got at the same time. Some of the exercises she does have nothing to do with effective kettlebell work and could be risky to joints as well. For example swinging a kettlebell backwards with your arm as if you are doing a swingy, heavy, triceps kickback, is simply, NOT a good idea if you like your elbows to stay healthy. Her form is questionable on a lot of this video, even though normally Gin has great form in other videos. Also I got no cardio effect at all. I consider myself intermediate. Overall, this may be good for some, but not for me in any way. - posted by Ann on 8/8/2010 |

| It's worth it! |
| I work out at least five days a week doing anything from Zumba to cycling. For years I have avoided working with weights and rely on the usual daily chores to keep my upper body fit. I looked in the mirror one day and went "wow when did that happen??" Yipes. This video is a perfect start to any kettle bell fitness program. Gin is one of my favorites and has a very in depth beginner program. She teaches in a way that is unhurried and thorough. The pace is slow,steady and safe which is exactly what I wanted to start with. They (kettle bells) look a bit intimidating but are really a great all over body routine. You're working some major muscle groups all at once which cuts through time constraints if you're in a bit of a hurry. I especially love the squats and can see the difference in my inner thighs and glutes.... who doesn't want that? Glad I bought it. - posted by Darla on 8/2/2010 |

| A great introduction to k-bells |
| Gin Miller's 3-segment workout (with 3 accompanying warm-up sessions) was the perfect starting point. It's rated intermediate, which gave me pause since I'd never done kettlebells, but I'm in relatively decent shape so took the risk. Not to worry if you haven't tried kettlebells yet - this DVD makes it easy to learn. (I started with an 8-pounder.) I'm happy to recommend it. - posted by Linda on 7/11/2010 |

| Solid Workout |
| I don't understand some of the negative reviews. Gin Miller has good form and encourages her audience to use good form and appropriate weight. The three sections are adequately different so that you can do them separately for a good quick workout or combine all three for a longer more intense workout. The instruction is clear friendly, and concise. True, she does bring a little creativity to the workout, but I don't look at that as poor form or poor technique. I look at it as adapting the kettlebell to fit a variety of needs. I have just started to explore kettlebell workouts in the last several months. I'm not an "expert" by any stretch of the imagination. But I felt pleasantly worked out without stressing any joints during and after this workout. Some of the moves were a little different and allowed me to maintain my growing interest in and appreciation of kettlebell workouts. - posted by Mary Anne on 6/23/2010 |

| Wow! |
| I really enjoy this workout with the kettlebells. Gin has a way of making something I dread (squats), actually seem enjoyable and doable. The kettlebell workout is challenging, but I'm so focused on form that I don't have time to even think of how I dislike squats and lunges. I'm also excited because I am definitely seeing improvements in my ability to handle the weight. I went from a 5lb kettebell to 12lbs within weeks of working out, as 5lbs was too light. - posted by Tracey on 6/3/2010 |

| Ok starter video |
| I think this is an ok starter video to see if you like to work with kettlebells. I found other starter videos show better form. Probably the best thing about this video is that it is broken up into sections, so you can do one section or more based on time. - posted by Kris Ann on 5/29/2010 |
