Great set for beginner and intermediate
Great price for 4 dvd set! Two dvd's are instructional and a must do if you have never had instruction. Third dvd is the Iron Core Boot Camp , a challenging workout. 4 sets of one arm deadlift/balance combo , cleans, snatch-squat combo, lunges, and swings. 4 sets of swings at the end for abs. 4th dvd has two workouts- Iron Core Warrior I (one kettlebell) and II (2 kettlebells) ending with variations of Russian twists, even more challenging. We had the kettleworx set but sold it after getting these, prefer Sarah's quiet style and the even flow of these dvd's. Love that she is a strong woman doing real strength and not a skinny minnie jumping around with lighter kettlebells. Followup (4 months later) : I have gone a bit nuts with other kettlebell DVD's but keep returning to this set, especially the Bootcamp workout, as our favorite. The clustered sets (5 minute clusters with 1 minute rests, repeated 4 times) is a rhythm that i really like and hard to find elsewhere. Most other dvd's offer more interval workouts- 30 seconds on 30 seconds off , for instance. Also, there are not very many double kb workouts out there so I use the Warrior 2 workout a lot also. Note: I started with a 10 lb kb but am now using 25 lb KB (I weigh 125 lb) and burn about 10 cals per minute on my HRM for the bootcamp workout including the programmed rests and a short cooldown (done on my own). That's about the same burn rate as running 6.5 miles per hour continuously for me. I use two 20 lb KB's for the double workout and that is QUITE a heart pumper! Just found out that Sarah was 3 months pregnant when she filmed the Warrior workouts. Yowsa. YOU GO GIRL!
