 Level 2 just ok |
| Level 1 on this CD is great, had been doing for about a year on exercise TV, bought the CD when network cancelled. Still love the 1st workout, level 2 however is not as good - posted by Patti on 2/27/2012 |

| Different |
| I'm always looking for something that will hit me in a different way. This does just that. I would recommend a kettle bell weight though to use with it. - posted by Leslie on 2/9/2012 |

| Surprised, not impressed with Kettlebells (but LOVE Jillian!) |
| I love keeping up with fitness and the variety that is presented to enthusiasts year after year. But I do not follow Kettlebell fitness. In googling kettlebell fitness, it states, "purpose of kettlebell exercises is to condition the muscles and improve strength." We can do that with free weights too! We can do this by all other fitness regimes: running, walking, weight training, bicycling, stability ball, resistance bands, Spri bands, weighted gloves, our own body resistance, and etc. It also states, "the use of kettlebells for workout eliminates the need for exercise tools and equipment." K's are/is equipment, heavy, and you cannot pack in a suitcase, like bands can be. In this dvd, even though I just love Jillian, some of the moves she executes surprises me, for being AFAA certified. Some moves are AGAINST AFAA guidelines. Doing a squat with legs and middle below being parallel to the floor? A big no-no according to AFAA. Also, there were many unsafe moves, both fitness, and possible injury to yourself with the bell. I don't have K's, so I used my 3-lb weight. Guess what? IT WORKS JUST AS WELL! And I did feel new muscles used the next day. One other thing, she does aerobics in the warmup, immediately. That is TOO soon to add aerobics, esp in A warmup! The 3 stars is for the workout effectiveness I felt with my 3-lb weight. - posted by Sher on 8/29/2011 |

| If you want to feel Amazing... |
| This was my first time using the kettlebell. Jillian has an instructional section for fist time users that really takes the anxiety out of throwing a weight around. By using your body to control the trajectory of the kettlebell, you are challenging your body and burning calories. Jillian is really supportive and motivates you to keep going. I interchange this DVD and No More Trouble Zones on days I don't do cardio. It's really effective and afterward I feel amazing, like I can conquer anything. - posted by Monica on 7/11/2011 |

| Good Challenge |
| Good workout as usual with Jillian. I feel it the next day, especially in my hamstrings, OUCH! It took me a couple of times to get some of the moves. I'm an advanced exerciser and use a hand weight but using 5-8lbs. wasn't challenging enough so I use 10-12lbs. on level 1. Level 2 is very difficult and I will be sticking with level 1 for a while or using lighter weights for level 2. I gave it four stars because it's a little tricky at first, review it first. Jillian is great, I love her workouts! - posted by CDW on 6/23/2011 |

| 30 minutes of Hard Work |
| I only completed Level 1 so far. I didn't think I would be sweating so hard after 30 mins. of working out since I usually do 1-hour workouts, but this proved very effective. Looking forward to Level 2. - posted by Elaine on 6/18/2011 |

| Not my favourite Jillian workout |
| I love almost all of Jillian's DVDs, and I was excited to try kettlebell workouts, but I was not hugely impressed with this DVD. I like the kettlebell moves a lot, but it felt as if there was too much of an intensity gap between Levels 1 and 2. I consider myself an intermediate exerciser, but even with a heavy kettlebell level 1 didn't get my heart rate up the way I'd expect a short intense workout to. And then level 2 was so intense that not even Jillian and Bashira (one of the exercisers in the back) could do the whole thing! And the beginner modifications in level 2 are not always helpful. So level 1 felt way too light to me, and level 2 is just frustrating! I think if you're a beginner/intermediate exerciser level 1 will be tough, and if you're advanced level 2 will be satisfying. But if you're somewhere in the middle like me? It's not worth the investment. - posted by Jane on 6/14/2011 |
