Well written, well organized book. Lots of information. Loved the breathing techniques - they were very helpful. Also helpful were the common errors and how to correct them.

This is a great book! It gives a great background on kettlebells and what exercises they are most useful for. I've been looking for a resource like this to use in my personal training. Perhaps the most useful element is suggested exercises and programs to use depending on what you are looking to do, such as gain muscle mass, loose wait, or cardio.

This is a great textbook for all stages of kettlebell trainers! It starts out with the basics, even going over how to hold kettlebell. If you are more advanced, then you can skip right to the assortment of exercises. I loved that the book went over different programs and even gave example sessions that included warm up and cool down exercises as well. My favorite were the programs for different athletes--I will definitely be trying out the golfer exercises!

I'm really impressed with the level of detail in this book. As someone who has used kettlebells some, but not had any formal instruction, the exercise descriptions are helpful for figuring out areas for improvement. Personally, I use this in conjunction with DVDs/YouTube clips because I find actually seeing the exercise performed more helpful than static photographs. Great book and highly recommended for anyone interested in learning to use kettlebells safely and effectively.
