Kettlebell Bootcamp with Angie Miller |
  Good Workout! |
| I liked this workout a lot. I didn't love the warmup section as it seemed a bit too gym class aerobics like to me. However the 8 series were super. Each series lasts just long enough so you can complete the set, and her form is perfect. This is a super DVD that all levels of kettlebell users can do because you simply adjust the weight. What I really appreciate about this DVD is that each and every body part is worked, including ABS! Really enjoy this workout. - posted by Andrea on 10/22/2011 |

| Dull and unstructured |
| The instructor is not very charismatic or energetic, which already makes the workout feel harder than it should, and some exercises really are more "weight-training" than kettlebell (e.g. lunges, deadlifts). My biggest issue, however, is that the cover says this is beginner/intermediate/advanced, but there's no way to 'select' a level. It's all the same workout, and the only thing that determines whether it's beginner or advanced depends solely on whether you do any modifications (not # of reps & sets, for example). You can't create a custom workout from the chapters, either - if you pick a chapter, that's the only one that plays. The chapters also feel choppy: if you choose "Play All," the DVD still displays a "title card" before each one ("Set 2," "Set 3," etc). I've had other kettlebell workout DVDs, and this is easily my least favorite. - posted by Kate L on 8/12/2011 |

| Not bad |
| Besides the video that came with my kettlebell this is the only video I have done. I like the fact that she is not overly chatty and she can count, which we all know many cannot. I am 46, have exercised my whole life, but still only in moderate shape. This is a good workout, it doesn't even seem that hard while I am doing it, but dang can my butt feel it the next day. I have been doing it twice a week and it is definitely one I will keep in my collection. - posted by Teri on 7/9/2011 |

| Mixed review |
| While I liked most of the exercises included in this dvd I really disliked the formatting - all of the parts were run together so it was a hassle to fast forward or reverse to get to the part(s) I wanted - it would have been a whole lot better to have them as separate drills that I could select as I wanted - decided other dvds I had were much more user friendly and sent this one back. - posted by Elaine on 7/7/2011 |

| Buyer BEWARE !!! |
| This is my first and last "Angie Miller" video. A cadaver would have more enthusiasm that she! I know that she has a Tutorial in the beginning of this video but why not reinforce the instruction thru out the actual exercise? She says "ok now lets do this" but doesn't bother to reinforce how you do it, she just remains SILENT during each set. This is an absolute waste of money. Angie Miller should not be an instructor !!!!! Buy Kettlebell Worx instead !! - posted by Ellen on 6/30/2011 |

| LOVE THIS and LOVE THE RESULTS |
| I am a 39 y/o mother of 2. I am 5'4" about 130lbs. Over the years I have taken MANY different types of fitness classes and run sometimes. I am in decent shape but never felt "sculpted". Last summer I was taking Angie's cycling classes at my health club. I was in awe of her tiny chiseled frame and always wondered what else she did to look like that since cycling is a lot of lower body. Then one day she mentioned working out w/a kettle bell and another day mentioned "filming again in the fall". This peaked my curiosity so I went home to "google" her and stumbled upon her kettle bell video. I ordered it hoping it wouldn't be a dust collector like all the others I own. After doing it once, I was addicted (I even took it on vacation, that's saying a lot). Hard workout but easy to get through. It is in short segments so when you think you can't do anymore, you get a short break. But the best part were the results. I have always hated my arms. Within a week I started to see definition in my arms, back and shoulders for the 1st time ever! My stomach was getting flat and my hamstrings/butt were getting toned. I was amazed. Many friends asked what I was doing and I recommended this video to all of them. This video has a great combination of exercises to get FULL body results. Angie does a great job explaining, motivating and reminding you of proper form. I HIGHLY recommend this video but do not recommend pushing through the whole video your 1st time through(I was sore for about 4 days). I would suggest 1/2 one day and 1/2 the next because my whole body was screaming. Going to try her newest workout soon. She is GREAT! This is a looong review and could keep going and I NEVER write reviews, that's how much I love it! - posted by Kim on 6/28/2011 |

| Great workout |
| I am new the kettlebell, but not to fitness tapes/workouts. I was looking for something new that would keep me motivated and give me a good sweat... this certainly does it! Good music and by having the 10 segments, you get something new every couple of minutes. The moves are challenging, but not impossible and easy to follow. I highly recommend this one! - posted by Michelle on 6/28/2011 |

| Upbeat workout to keep you pumped up |
| This was my first kettlebell workout and I Loved it!! The music is fast paced and upbeat to keep you pumped up for the entire workout. Your heart rate is always up there so you are burning calories and toning too!! Love it!! - posted by Jackie on 5/12/2011 |

| Great intro to kettlebells |
| I'm an avid runner who has started to focus on incorporating core and strength training into my routine. I wanted a change strength training routines and wanted to give kettlebells a try. Having never used them before I was a bit intimidated, but this workout is excellent. Easy to follow with a good variety of moves and you feel like you're really working everything from arms to core to legs. Great way to work up a sweat. Angie is a perfect balance of encouraging and informative without being annoying. This will be a regular addition to my weekly routine. I am in pretty good shape and a 10lb kettlebell will be all I can handle for awhile. If the workout becomes less challenging you can easily move up to a heavier kettlebell. - posted by ksj on 4/21/2011 |

| Great for Beginners |
| I love this video! I just started working out with kettlebells and found that this was a great one to start with. The instructions are easy to follow and the ease of going from one exercise to another is great. I do have to add that it is a little boring, but I can say that I have seen great results since starting with the kettlebells and this video is a good part of those results. Thanks so much and I am on my way to the body I want and use to have. - posted by Sheryl on 4/20/2011 |
