The Russian Kettlebell Challenge Description:

The Russian Kettlebell Challenge review:
5 stars (Essential strength training material.) - After reading Pavel Tsatsouline's "The Naked Warrior," I took the plunge and purchased this book along with a basic 36-pound kettlebell. The exercises are more technically demanding than what you see being performed in fitness clubs, but the superior results of kettlebell training are impossible to deny: lean wiry muscles, increased endurance, and immense reserves of functional strength. Unlike the Nautilus scene, kettlebells are just plain fun to work out with, and like I said, they leave no doubt even after your first encounter with them that they are *the* ticket for the would-be ironman (or woman.)



If you have a fitness club membership, burn it and use the proceeds to purchase this book and a kettlebell or two. It's a better deal.
5 stars (Fantastic Workout) - If you are tired of dieting and aerobics, want to take part in an intense workout, or if you just want to read more about this crazy workout and learn some basics this book is for you.



This book provides a great introduction to Kettlebell Training. This book is broken into the following four very useful sections. Section One explains the History of the Russian Kettlebell. Section Two goes into Special Applications such as Combat Sports, Arm Wrestling, Weight Loss, etc. Section Three goes into actual Kettlebell Techniques. Section Four finishes the book off with some Classic Kettlebell Programs



One of the most impressive parts of this book and the reason I believe it earns its 5 stars is because of not only its complete history but also its fantastic breakdown of the foundational exercises through photographs.



This is a great starting point if you are interested in Kettlebells. However, if you plan on continuing with kettlebell training I would recommend that you get a quality 16kg kettlebell & purchase Pavel's DVD also named "The Russian Kettlebell Challenge"
