Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I need to be clear, blunt and truthful in my assessment of the Skogg System..... It is, in a word, great. I have never worked with Kettlebells before and haven't really worked with weights for quite a while. I had amassed horrible habits such as eating and drinking way too much along with exercising way, way, too little. I am forty-eight, overweight and was in need of some serious changes to occur. I got the eating and drinking under control but that left with me the battle scars of a hard lost fight with my weight. I tried going to the gym, uh, can you say fiasco. I tried miracle weight loss fasts, detox's and even went to weight-loss Doctors (pill pushers in white coats instead of dark alleys) and finally the dreaded late night infomercials. I used to ride my bicycle quite a bit so I jumped on the old steed and gave it a go......btw, my legs now look great! The only problem was that my beer/food gut was shifting and changing shape but not diminishing. Things were not going as planned, but I digress. It was during this time that a infomercial for a Kettlebell workout was on late-night TV. I was curious. I definitely did not want to purchase it (based on other late night promises failing to even reasonably pass the credibility test) but it sparked a curiosity with me. Now for the best part. I am a consumer of goods distributed on Amazon. I read reviews prior to purchasing (made easier without the late night stupor) and my fellow Amazonians heartily praised this set. I ordered the DVD's. I purchased Kettlebells (to my shock and horror, I soon discovered Kettlebells are not created equal) and made the commitment. I couldn't be happier. The program is extremely easy to follow. NO GIMMICKS! Correct form is stressed and the workouts are challenging and extremely doable. I am actually stunned that I am following a program and seeing results. The quality of the production is just as many reviewers have stated....fabulous! The voice narration is encouraging and quite honestly delivered in a way that makes me want to work harder.... that part is very hard to explain, so much so that I am actually having a hard time not doing more. This is where the genius of this system pays off. He includes a nifty chart and workout guide that details the progression from couch to warrior. It is working so I won't try to sabotage it. Sorry for the long rant/review but I am seldom this excited about any product, let alone a workout product. Lastly, I am stunned that a simple Kettlebell combined with superior coaching can deliver long sought after results.
