Customer Reviews

Good resource, but not a stand alone guide
Lovely glossy guide containing every exercise you will ever need, however if you are new to kettlebell lifting you will need another resource as this book offers very little in the way of teaching points. The book consists of a series of photographs accompanied by a sentence explaining the movement, the DVD is a silent demonstation of each lift.
This book is great for people who have been training with kettlebells for a while and are looking for exercise variations and way to make their exercises more difficult until they can afford a heavier bell. It is a quick reference when looking to target areas of the body, chapters are divided into chapters for upperbody, lower body, core and advanced lifts offering some extremely demanding exercises.
I think the book would benefit from a couple of ideas on how to build a programme, eg. which exercises, sets + reps for strength, endurance ect.
In summary good book it is, complete it is not beginners who cannot find an instructor should look to find a good DVD, Enter the kettlebell covers a few lifts in detail.

The Kettlebell resource
I think Steve Cotter has created the definitive kettlebell product with this. It always helps to have multiple resources but if you could have only one, then make it this one.

Kettlebell Bible
This book AND DVD shows many different exercises for the kettlebell. Beginners and novices will learn new things that will help with strength and cardio. I highly recommend this book.
