Certified instructor description: Three complementary workouts: aero/tone, toning and yoga. They form a well-structured series designed to maximize results by challenging your body in diverse ways. The first DVD uses the kettlebell to increase cardio intensity as it simultaneously tones your upper and lower body. The second program is classic kettlebell body-sculpting (e.g. rows, squats, bicep curls and bell-intensified abdominal rollups). The yoga DVD does not use a kettlebell. It’s a multi-level blend of power yoga and athletic conditioning (from handstands to mountain climbers). Brook’s instruction is friendly and easy to follow. Includes an eight-minute kettlebell tutorial. Requires a 5 to 20 lb. kettlebell. ©2011. DVD has: Wide screen.

Brook Benten's Kettlebody by Brook

the best!

i do the cardio workout twice a week & the strengthening one once a week. they're only 30 mins but so fast-paced yet easy to follow your heartrate is up and you're never bored! my new fav instructor! - posted by Lisa on 3/24/2012

Good safe workout

I have done a lot of kettlebell workouts and I have gotten rid of many of them. For the record, Brooke is a trained professional, not a celebrity who just decided to make a work-out dvd because that particular workout worked for him/her. She shows modifications and urges participants to work at their own pace. The 3-dvd set is worth it just for the Yoga Burn. Before you write a poor review, I urge you to watch the intro clips, which explain the workouts and give demonstrations of the exercises. And you may have to use a light kettlebell or simply start off without any weight for some exercises. This will burn and you will sweat but it will leave you invigorated not worn-out. It is also a nice low impact option for those of us who would rather not jump a lot. - posted by Mary Anne on 11/26/2011

Brook Benten Does It Again!

I need to state for the record - that Collage's ranking system does point out that these are 30 minutes(ish) in length. Anyway - I've done these workouts several times, and like Kettlebell Butts & Guts and Cardio Pump Fusion, these are excellent at giving you a total burn but this time in a short manner of time. Cardio Kettlebell is my favourite, and I love doing this before any toning workout because I am on fire for the rest of my workout. Yoga Burn - BURNS (a lot more than I thought it would). Someone mentioned barefoot mountain climbers - I didn't have an issue with this, and I have weak feet. I don't do a lot of traditional body sculpting, but I have to say that BellBody Sculpt is a burner as well. These are very easily "stackable" to make a longer workout, or just follow the system as well. This is a great workout system. - posted by Sunny on 6/19/2011

Not sure..

I'm an advanced exerciser in very good shape but had never tried kettlebell. I enjoyed the workout, but I do have to agree with the another reviewer about the poor form - but I am not a kettlebell expert by any means. The two kettlebell workouts are good in that they do get the heart rate up and they are quite challenging, but they are also very short - twenty one minutes followed by a cooldown (the same cooldown segment is used on each one). The yoga workout is tough on the arms but I would warn anyone to take extreme care when doing Brook's 'yoga mountain climbers' - you're barefoot and unsupported and you can turn your ankle far too easily here. Altogether, I didn't dislike the workout but will be looking at the Paul Katami ones too (I do his 4x4 one and like it a lot). - posted by Pip on 4/22/2011

Didn't like it much!

Wow, I did not know this instructor but after trying the workout, I was expecting more of this workout meaning, I hurt myself doing it..Brook Benten's form was not very good. There are much better kettlebody workouts out there. I really like Paul Katami. If you are intermediate, don't do this workout, you might hurt yourself doing it. - posted by Cheryl on 4/21/2011

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.

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

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.
