Brook Benten's Kettlebell: Butts & Guts |
  ehhhhh |
| This workout is HARD and quite different. the fun factor isn't there, but if your goal is to get at the areas on your body that the dvd's title states, you will definitely be able to do so here. boredom is a key factor here for me because it's endless squats and not enough variation. i may be able to do the short workout from time to time, but the other one... not so much. - posted by banarrie on 5/11/2012 |

| good intro to bells |
| I wanted to find a kettlebell workout that was cardio AND strength in one session. So I was really happy when Brook said it is a continuous workout so you need to adjust the bell because it would be non stop. It sure was a dynamic session that was full body integrated fitness all compound exercises. The future of fitness is metabolic training and this is where bells and workouts that incorporate resistance and cardio will get you results quicker and better than before. Seriously forget standing and doing bicep curls.....that was then. Kettlebells are now. That being said the opportunity for injury is a bit higher.......so pay attention to form constantly...Only negatives were she could have mixed up a bit more variety. But over all, great. - posted by Rose on 2/23/2012 |

| Not the Best!! |
| I agree with the above review; way too much repetition!! You do work hard but it is not very motivating and it is like pulling teeth to make yourself get through it. At least for me anyway. I don't think that I will use this one again; not for me. - posted by Wendy on 2/14/2012 |

| Kettle Betty Kick Butt KettleBell workout |
| I'm a KettleBell Convert. There are a lot of newly minted Kettle Bettys out there and I strongly suggest adding this DVD into your weekly circuit. It's tough but you get stronger with each workout. The Kettlebell abs are insane at least for me ... but I'm tougher with each go around. It's tough but awesome. You work hard but isn't that what this is all about? I'm in my 50's and my Butt & Gut is definitely improved. You want a real workout? You want results? Get this. - posted by Bridget on 1/26/2012 |

| GREAT workout! |
| I have been doing kettlebell workouts for about 6 months now, so I decided to buy this dvd to have something new to workout to. I did the entire workout today and OMG was I dripping with sweat. It is non stop cardio, and your heart is racing within just a few minutes of doing it. Everyone keeps talking about all the squats you have to do, but in my opinion its not that big of a deal. It is repetitive, but you know your getting something done for sure. I usually use a 10-15 pound kettlebell with my other DVDs, But with this one, I used the 5 pound KB just until I get used to the fast pace of this video. And even with only a 5 pound weight, it still kicks your butt!!! - posted by JB on 10/25/2011 |

| Good Workout, too much repetition |
| This was the first kettlebell workout that I purchased and the next day I was REALLY feeling it! Brook is really sun-shiney and has a few cutesy sayings like "More Cardio - Less Lardio!" but all in all - it is a good workout. My problem with the workout was the repetitive aspects - too much of the same old thing over and over again. I will have this in the rotation though and it was a great first time purchase. - posted by Colleen on 10/20/2011 |

| squats, squats, & more squats |
| I was hoping for a little more variety: knee lifts, side kicks, etc. than just 45min. of squat variations. The 15 minute portion is bearable. The abdominal workout is great. I am a seasoned exerciser, weights, rollerblading, hiking, etc, (30+ yrs), have a huge variety of tapes,: shall we go back to Greg Smithey & the Original Buns of Steel? - posted by Deb on 9/16/2011 |

| Not Bad |
| For a first time user it would probably be challenging, yet half way easy and easy to understand. If your wanting a fairly decent, easy workout its ok. You got to like squats cause you do ALOT of them. The ab routine is ok also, a little slow. I find myself doing some things a little faster than she does. If your wanting something real hard and challenging this is not the one. - posted by Brandy on 7/24/2011 |

| OK BUT BORING |
| I like her as an instructor but this DVD was just boring. It is very repetitive in the moves and like the other review states it really lacks variety. I have tried it twice and both times just was bored with the moves half way through the video while it is a good workout it needs a lot more variation. - posted by Del on 7/14/2011 |

| Brook Benten's Kettlebell |
| This workout is the best workout, it really works your whole body. I have been telling every one about this workout because it really works and it is a lot of fun. The only thing you must be in good shape to do it because it is not easy. I have been working out all my life so it wasn't to hard for me. - posted by Renee on 7/14/2011 |
