Kettlebell Review
With 3 kids it is definitely difficult to get to the gym to do any sort of workout. Even when I was living in the apartment and we had to gym in the complex, I always had to wait until the kids went to bed to go down there. Late at night I was never in the mood to really get in to my workout and it always felt repetitive. Same cardio machines every time.
I was given the opportunity to review a Kettlebell from KettleWorX. It is a 6 week training program, I have been using it for 2 weeks. Now I will say about 1 1/2 weeks ago I came down with a really bad cold/flu so it was a little difficult to give it my all but I did work out as much as I could over the 2 weeks.
I really liked that it gave you the option to purchase different packages to accommodate your financial situation. For example they have a starter package for $59.95 where you would not need the Kettlebell but it would give you a 6 week training within 4 DVD’s. Or for the more advanced workouts, they have packages with more DVD’s and it would also include the Kettlebell.
The package I received to review was the KettleWorX Ultra 5. It came with a 5lb Kettlebell, which was recommended for women, and 9 DVD’s.
I like that each workout incorporated the Kettlebell in with each movement. Each movement worked a number of different muscle groups in order to get a total body workout. After each workout I felt that my muscles had been stretched and trained properly. When I was going to the gym I always think I over did it and my muscles would be extremely sore in the morning. I contributed that to not stretching and working out properly.
The start of each work out included a low intensity warm up, to get all your muscles ready for the workout. The fitness package I received came with several 10-minute workout videos. Those worked really well on the days I felt the worst with my cold or had to tend to my sick children. I felt they were a little more intense to get a great workout in such a short amount of time. I was able to workout even though I didn’t have much time and continue to strengthen my muscles.
With the package it came with 9 DVD’s to focus on every part of my body. From abs to arms and shoulders to butt and thighs. That was also my problem going to the gym, I mostly did cardio machines that really only burned a lot of calories. It didn’t tone my body as I lost the weight.
You can also just purchase the Kettlebell by itself. For as low as $19.95 for the 5lb Kettlebell.

I have only been doing the workout program for 2 weeks and look forward to giving it my all in the next 4 weeks. I expect to see wonderful results. For me however, I do have a good deal of weight to lose so I am sure I will need to workout for more than 6 weeks to reach my goal but I feel these videos are going to be a great help in achieving my goal. They will tone my body as I drop the fat. Lose the fat not the muscle.
