Powerbody: Advanced Russian Kettlebell Workout With Phil Ross (DVD, 2008)

The only reason why it is called "advanced" is because the guy is using heavier kettlebells. The exercises are all very effective, however, the instructor is not skilled as a video instructor; he feels he doesn't have to say anything else while demonstrating the exercises. Yes, the DVD offers a segment where everything is explained, however, the purpose of an instructional DVD is to continue to give direction while instructing. I don't necessarily want to be entertained when I do an exercise DVD, however, I do want some explanation during the workout. The producer should have used a skilled instructor to lead the exercises.

This DVD is amazing, having bought a few KB DVD's, this is the best one, very well made and great workouts!

This is a brutal way to get in shape. I thought I was going to die. Next time I try it, I am going to drop down to a smaller size kettlebell. I feel like jello at this moment, lol. WOW!

This DVD though pretty basic in parts has more than a few training gems in it that I now incorporate into my workouts. I will let you know any size bell will work but, Phil uses two 35s and a 50 pound kettlebell in this.The stretches with the bo staff and the warm ups are the good parts for me.One of the kettlebell philosophies of low-tech / high concept are very well displayed here. Basic yes,Effective? Hell yes!!worth the price for the info in my case.3 out of 5 * Be Relentless!

Great instructional video. Clear speech and easily understood. If you can do this work out you are a bad-ass!
