Product Description |
Save time on your workouts and look better than ever!
Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand. Because more muscle groups are utilized in the swinging and movement of a kettlebell than during the lifting of dumbbells, a kettlebell workout is more effective, and yields better results in less time. The momentum generated by the kettlebell also reduces stress on the joints and minimizes the chance for injury.
While the general public is starting to catch on to the power of the kettlebell, many kettlebell books on the market merely feature exercises for dumbbells, substituting the dumbbells with a kettlebell. This approach fails to maximize the efficacy and fun of the kettlebell as a workout tool. For the first time ever, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women provides a female audience with kettlebell-specific workouts.
Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women will teach you:
•The differences between dumbbells and kettlebells •How the kettlebell's shape enables endless variety of movement patterns •Sport-specific exercises to enhance performance •Uniquely designed exercise programs to benefit all fitness levels •Where to buy kettlebells and which kettlebells are best for your fitness level •Basic nutritional guidelines for a more effective workout
With easy to follow instructions, clear photographs, and extensive information on the kettlebell, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women provides a comprehensive guide to this unique fitness tool, making these powerful workouts accessible to people of all fitness levels.
Created by U.S.A.'s first International Master of Kettlebell Sport, Lorna Kleidman, this guide is sure to bring one of the most effective workouts to date. |

If you are looking to learn about kettlebells and what they can do for you - this is the book.
I have been watching people working out with kettlebells at my gym in nyc and was wondering what they were all about.
Someone mentioned that Lorna Kleidman was an International World Champion and that she was coming out with a book. I ordered the book and a kettlebell last week and received my copy of the book yesterday. It is fantastic. It clearly explains what a kettlebell is and what it can do for me. I tried my first workout today and it is everything Lorna claims it is. I couldn't believe how much my heart rate increased. It was like doing my regular cardio workout while getting the benefits of strength and endurance training at the same time. As a mother with a 1 year old baby, I have been busy juggling motherhood, work and pleasure, while at the same time trying to get to the gym so I can get back into the wonderful shape I use to be in. I can already see where this will not only help me get back in shape and help me regain the energy I need to to get through my day, but will also help me in many of my daily activities with my baby. I felt the workout through my entire core, butt, legs and arms. It was great and really time efficient.
My husband plans on getting a heavier bell and working out with me so we can learn the proper movements together.
Will keep you posted as we work our way through the myriad of drills. |
Great book

| I'm relatively new to kettlebells, maybe 2 weeks in. I purchased a GoFit brand that came with a short introductory video, and was hooked! I've always been a lazy person who hated exercise, and kettlebells are something I look forward to. I searched around for a week or so, debating about buying a workout DVD or deciding between a few books, and after reading many reviews I decided on this one, plus you can't beat $10 for a book! I was not disappointed. It has a great introduction to how she got started and the benefits she gets, plus a brief story on the history kettlebells. Then great illustrations of many kettlebell exercises, and 3 different workout plans so you can progress to something more challenging as you get more fit. Very clear and concise. I'm very pleased I picked this book. It's amazing how much your heart rate goes up with just a few swings of the kettlebells, what a great workout! |
Excellent Book!!

| This is an excellent book for kettlebell users of all levels and abilities. I had worked with a personal trainer earlier this year and he does resistance training and kettlebells only. Phenomenal workout! You get both muscle training and cardio in one compact workout. In addition to 18 weeks of workouts, you get common sense information about nutrition and a little bit of background about kettlebells. Easy to read and understand illustrations of all exercises. Great warm up and warm down stretches, which I do on the "off" days. I highly recommend this to anyone! |
An illustrated gem

| This well-written book is all you need to get rid of that muffin-top and back into that little black dress. The trouble with most kettle bell instruction is that the available books and videos are either cutesy, or they tend to be long on testosterone and machismo and short on planned out, solid, safe workout practices. This book is absolutely full of illustrations that clearly show proper form, and Ms. Kleidman's text is clear and informative. If you want to try a kettle bell workout routine, but don't know how or where to start; start here. This is an excellent fitness book that really works. |
Awesome book!

| This book is easy to follow, and thorough in its content. There are tons of pictures, which I found really helpful. The author even discusses the history of Kettlebells, as well as nutrition and step by step movements. At the end she even maps out a few different routines if you want to get certain results. I really like this book, and would recommend it for anyone who is interested in beginning Kettlebells, or taking their current KB routine to a new level. It covers it all! |
