Kettlebell Bootcamp - Angie Miller |
  Pretty Good -- Comprehensive |
| I enjoy KB workouts and this one is great for home use. It will work every part of your body. I used a 10lb KB and it was perfect, tried using a 15lb first, but had to move down after about 15 minutes! (I'm also 53 years old!) If you're looking for an intro into KB, this is a good DVD. - posted by Lynda on 1/18/2010 |

| Very Good Kettlebell Workout |
| This was my first kettle bell DVD purchase - and I am by no means an expert or purist - but I thought it was a very good workout, and a nice introduction to the kettle bell concept and moves. There is a separate 8 minute tutorial that breaks down the moves (somewhat). The full workout is very thorough and balanced. There aren't many specific upper body exercises, but you are constantly using your shoulders/back/core as you move the bell and work to maintain proper form. The abs section was quite short, but had the potential to be very effective, especially if repeated 2x as another reviewer suggested. My only complaint is that she seems to be off the beat at times - she speeds up her pace faster than the music. I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser (and runner). I will continue to use this DVD on a regular basis, and would recommend it! - posted by Melanie on 1/7/2010 |

| Not a true kettlebell workout |
| This I'm sorry to say is not a true kettlebell workout. The basic swing is done incorrectly and in bad form. I think she is trying to present a good workout, but needs to go get REAL training before she attempts again. I would not use this workout... Can't rate this with even one star...Somehow I can't remove the star that I pressed accidently. - posted by Irene on 12/27/2009 |

| WOWza! |
| This workout kicked my butt! I used a 10lb kettelbell and that is all I can do right now! Angie uses a 15lb one! This worked the legs, glutes, core,arms-what's left? Really impressed and I really like this one! It moves quickly thru 8 "sets" then a stretch. I will do this one in my weekly rotation for a long while! Excellent instruction with lots of pointers on form! - posted by TracyAZGirl on 10/23/2009 |

| A new Angie Miller fan! |
| I am a longtime Firm/Cathe/Jari Love/Jillian Michels fan and have to include Angie Miller as one of my favorites. She is my "sleeper" instructor --- someone I didn't think would merit much attention, initially, but who has become someone I now know I can count on for fun, challenging workouts. Loved her Core & Fusion workout but even love this kettlebell workout more! It's easily modified to becoming an advanced or beginner workout, depending on the weight used. The workout just flies by, too. I was huffing & puffing! I credit this DVD, along with the 10 Minute Solution kettlebell DVD, with inspiring me to pursue kettlebell training in depth. A++ I hope Angie Miller follows this up with a sequel soon! - posted by Michelle E. on 7/4/2009 |

| Great Challenge |
| Wow- I didn't expect it to be this tough! I also didn't expect to like it this much. The reviewers who say this is not a "real" kettlebell workout are really missing out. Angie has "real" moves and moves that are not a la Pavel. So what? What matters is, it's fun, effective and a real challenge if you go heavy. My arms and legs were fried. Kettlebells are truly amazing and substituting dumbbells is really not the same thing. She instructs perfectly, not chatter here. The ab section could have been longer, but you can also repeat that chapter. Very effective workout and if you wonder which one is better: Gin Miller's or Angie's, well it's this one (and I love Gin). 5 stars! - posted by holly on 4/4/2009 |

| Fun yet challenging workout |
| I can't think of anything negative to say about this workout. It's true that this is not an authentic kettlebell workout, but what difference does it make if it's effective? If you are looking for a different kind of workout that's tough, fat-burning, and fun, you should check this out. Angie seems like an awesome instructor, she cues effectively, gives great instruction, and the time flies by when I do this workout. I would actually say that, for me, this is more of an intermediate/advanced workout. I recommend this DVD highly. - posted by Renee on 3/23/2009 |

| Excellent Workout! |
| I recently ordered four kettlebell videos...this is, by far, the BEST kettlebell workout of the lot. As a 24-year exercise instructor(kettlebell certified),I'm always seeking a more challenging workout for myself. Angie is very professional with excellent cueing and good form. This is a five star workout! - posted by Joanne W on 3/19/2009 |

| Wonderful workout |
| This is a wonderful workout. And I have to dis-agree with the review that said this is not an authentic Kettlebell workout. I have just about all the Authentic Kettlebell Workouts available on line, this is An Authentic kettlebell workout, and it is awesome. She did not incorporate all of the moves in this workout, but she got alot of the good ones. Out of all the ones I have this is my favorite and the one I use the most, I use a 10lb. Kettlebell, and it is a great workout, I am already seeing amazing results in just a few weeks. If you want a fun kettlebell workout, one that is easy to learn and will get results, order this one, you will not be disappointed!!!! - posted by Nessa on 3/10/2009 |
