Great tips
Love this book a great detail with the amount of exercises you can do especially if you don’t like cardio and you would want to use kettlebells to get your heart rate up. I use the kettlebells everyday with the workouts I learned from this book

DIY-based workout plans
If you want a book that contains a lot of guided, pre-made workouts, this is not it. It has some sample workouts, but is more focused on developing your own program, which may not be ideal for beginners or someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time and energy on it. I did like how it had some new moves from the other books I was using, and there are detailed descriptions and photos of each technique. I also liked how it incorporated bodyweight moves into the sample routines. I noticed some of the demo pictures of squat techniques had the models going very low- way lower than what I was taught as good squatting form, but if it works for you, go for it. This is a non-issue for some people, but I wasn’t crazy about how they advocate doing doubles for advanced modifications since it means you have to have two of each kind of kettlebell and personally, I got into kettlebells partly to reduce the number of weights I had lying around. Overall though, a very good book to mix it up with.

Some different exercises shown in this book.
This book provided a few new KB exercises to add to my routine. If you don’t add something new every now and then, your workouts become boring and monotonous.

More exercises, great options, no more boredom
I’ve been using kettlebells for a little over a year now and I was ecstatic when I first was introduced. I bought a total of 5 bells, a few books and DVDs to get started. After a while I got bored and stopped using them as much. Same exercises day in and day out — BORING and sad 🙁 I needed more and this book definitely has it. More exercises with and without the KB. New stretch ideas and new KB moves. I really like it. Not only does it have new information, it also has a bunch of workouts with different rounds. I don’t have to conjure them up myself (I am not very good at that). I did one work out this morning (day after receiving the book) and I easily used up an hour of time. If you’re bored with your KB workouts and need a few new ideas to guide you, I recommend this book. It has pictures and descriptions to guide you. I will be utilizing this book for quite some time. THANKS and Keep Fit!!!

Really solid guide
My buddy and I have put this book to good work over the past few weeks. We’ve gone through 4 of the workouts and really liked 3 of them. One of the strength workouts didn’t really do it for us (or at least me). I really like that all the moves are well explained/documented in the back. My friend and I were looking for some new KB routines after going through some of our other KB workouts, and this book has provided that to us.

informative but kindle format is hard to use
There’s plenty of information in this book but it’s very hard to use in a kindle format. For example, the beginner exercise list includes the “2-Hand Swing”. OK, so I go to look for that. Well it lists a page number. There are no page numbers on a Kindle. OK plan B: table of contents. Nope, not in there, there is a section about swings though. OK plan C: read it on the PC and search for the phrase “2-Hand Swing”. Third match is a hit.This means that I basically have to go through and make a highlight for all of the exercises in the book that I want to use. Lot of work when the publisher could have done that for me (by placing hyperlinks in the text next to the exercises).Also the images of the workout list are hard to read on the kindle and should be reformatted.

I’ve been weight-lifting, swimming, barefoot running, and boxing for years and I’ve always made the effort to pick up kettlebells when they’ve been available in gyms I’ve used – but I’ve never really known how to use them!This book shows you the amazing versatility and simplicity of these ingenious bits of iron. I’ve found kettlebell training to complement almost every sport I’ve tried my hand at – developing core strength, minimising injury, and dramatically increasing speed, strength, and power.From an investment POV, kettlebells cost between £40 and £80 for a pair (depending on their weight) – that’s between one and two month’s gym membership! Get a pair for your garden, garage, or front room, and get lifting. If you need convincing, pick up this book for the safe and most effective ways to train.

The content is far superior to the book from Knopf. However:1. full-page ads are embedded into the e-book, and when you swipe to turn the page, your browser automatically opens and takes you to a place called “early bird books” to buy more e-books from them. You’ll also get bombarded daily with multiple emails from them.2. e-book is a locked pdf that doesn’t display correctly on the Kindle. Half the pic can appear on the bottom of one page, and the other half on the top of the next. There can also be just one word or line on the next page, if the entire page doesn’t fit on the screen.3. E-book oftentimes causes kindle to unexpectedly abort.

しょぼい紙質、写真白黒。でもトレーニング種目も多く紹介されてます。とりわけトレーニング・メニューが良い。机上の空論でなく、実際に取り組んだものをプログラムとして提案していると感じました。プログラム例、ほとんど試しました。インターバル少な目で30、40分。ゆっくりやって1時間で終わります。
