Here we are settling into 2015, and I have been meaning to update my post about Kettlebell workout DVDs for women. The top Kettlebell DVDs for women this summer are going to be great to follow along to, and I’ve detailed them below.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
Top Workout DVDs For Women
I am going to talk about some of the bestselling and hottest workout dvds on the market right now, and give a brief overview of some of the pros and cons of each. I don’t want to go on to review each and every one of them, especially as I haven’t tried them all.
What I will do is point you in the right direction for finding quality reviews of each, and additionally I will let you know my own recommendations for getting that summer body in 2015, or simply cracking the code to getting your fitness flying.
Our Top Pick: Lauren Brooks’ Kettlebell Body
Lauren Brooks is one of the leading names in Kettlebells. She’s put out countless best-selling DVD’s, and this latest one takes it a step further.
It’s more than just a DVD, it’s a full-on program.
Top 5 Runners-Up
1.The Kettlebell Goddess Workout
Pros: “Terrific no fluff workout”. This is the number one selling DVD for women on the number one Kettlebell website in the world,Dragon Door. You don’t get that kind of status without being quality, and this really is the best workout DVD out there, created by THE experts. It’s only $29.95 as well, which makes it an absolute bargain.
Cons: Tried to find some, but really couldn’t.
Conclusion: It’s easily the best of the bunch, and is probably better than the other four combined.
2. Iron Core Kettlebell
Pros: It’s got a great price and excellent value, with over 3 hours of run-time. Iron Core Kettlebell is also the second-most popular purchase among our readers, with zero complaints. It’s highly rated on Amazon as well.
Cons: It’s a little limited in scope, but for someone wanting a nice beginner DVD, that is fine.
Conclusion: A great starter DVD that will last you until you are ready to buy something more substantial
3. Iron Core Warrior
Pros: A two volume set that will keep you busy for a long time. This is an excellent intermediate DVD with single and double workouts to follow along with.
Cons: Not ideal for beginners.
Conclusion: It actually works well with Iron Core Kettlebell, buy both and work your way through them all.
4. RKS Kettlebell Workout
Pros: Arguably the number 1 global kettlebell workout program, it’s not just a single DVD, but a full on suite. While this isn’t explicitly for women, anyone can get massive benefits from using it.
Cons: Quite expensive, but on Amazon it’s currently heavily discounted.
Conclusion: This would be one of our top picks if not for the ones above.
5. Amy Bento – Absolute Beginners
Pros: This is one of the most popular DVDs for beginners ever.
Cons: You can outgrow it quickly
Conclusion: For the price, even if you outgrow it quickly, it’s great value. If you’re an “absolute beginner”, then it’s worth picking up.
Why Use A DVD?
When we did a survey on the Kettlebell users who visit this site, 90% of them said they use Kettlebells only at home. It can sometimes be hard to find the time to get to a gym, and if you’ve got your own Kettlebell already, why bother going? Using a DVD allows you to get expert instruction, follow a routine, and stave off boredom. One of the biggest issues people have with motivation is that they aren’t sure what exercise to do next, or they get bored of doing the same ones.
DVD’s pretty much eliminate this problem. The biggest benefit of all though, is learning correct form. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you get form correct. Bad form leads to back ache, muscle damage, and can cause long-term injuries too.
It’s not enough to just rely on YouTube videos to get an idea of correct form, because some of the instructors out there have bad form of their own!
This is why you need to rely on something like the Kettlebell Goddess (above) DVD from DragonDoor. In case you weren’t aware, the folks at DragonDoor were the ones responsible for the Kettlebell revolution and are well-known as one of the best resources online.
