Sports reviews of GoFit 10-Pound Yellow Kettlebell with Vinyl Coating, Training DVD and Exercise BookletCustomer Review: Great item for starters Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recently started working out after gaining a bit of weight and being completely out of shape. I joined a gym and went a few times but stopped after just a few weeks. I'm one of those people that just don't feel comfortable working out with so many people around. The only machine I ever used was the elliptical. Plus, I would have loved to get a personal trainer because I'm not knowledgeable about proper work out techniques but they are so expensive. A couple of my girl friends do kettlebell workouts and have raved about it to me so I finally decided to give it a try.
I bought this particular kettlebell because it came with the DVD since I have no idea what I'm doing. The DVD is short but it will teach you everything you need to get started. It goes through the basic moves and you can take your time learning before you do the actual routine. I thought about possibly getting an 8lb ball to start off with but I'm glad I got the 10lb. The 10lb is perfect even for a beginner like me. It's light enough to lift without any problems but still weighs enough to give me a proper workout. I was winded and sweating in the first 10 minutes of the routine.
With the kettlebell, I can get a great workout in the comfort of my own home. I'm in the process of convincing my husband to do it with me but he thinks kettlebells are only for girls. Pshhhhhhhh if he only knew how difficult this could be.
I did not receive the exercise booklet that was supposed to be included, but I'm not too worried about it. The internet is full of so many videos and other kettlebell exercises.
Customer Review: Super Item Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I really like this kettlebell and you won't go wrong if you decide to purchase this particular GoFit one. I didn't even watch the DVD because other people said that it was not all that good (maybe I should, though). I am using the exercises that are laid out by Prevention Magazine (two issues ago so try July 2010 or August 2010). Prevention showed another brand that weighs 8.8 lb but the 10 lb weight is not much heavier and worked out well, for me. Also this brand is slightly less expensive and the quality is perfect. I have the kettlebell in the back of my car and I have used it at the beach when my young son is playing etc. A super on the go item or you can sneak in a little work out at home while the other family members are doing their own thing. Ah yes, if you do the Prevention Magazine work out, your heart will get pumping and you may sweat a bit..these are actually bonuses for your body ;).
Customer Review: Killer Workout in Little Time Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have always been a fan of dumb bells or bar bells, but now that I have tried the kettlebell, I doubt I will ever go back to traditional "bells". The kettlebell is easier to maneuver and you can do so many more moves with it than you can with a traditional bell. The kettlebell is well constructed and I like the rubberized surface so it doesn't scratch up any surfaces and adds some grip factor to the bell.
The workout DVD that comes with it is great! I was not expecting much so I was surprised by the quality of exercises. In only 25 minutes, I felt sore already. As you know, the next day is the real test. I am really sore today (the good kind of sore) from my kettlebell workout yesterday. This is a better workout than anything I have tried with regular dumb bells.
I highly recommend this kettlebell and DVD.
Customer Review: 10 Lb yellow cutie - DVD, not so much Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased the 10 lb kettlebell because I already have the 25 lb kettlebell. This 10 lb kettlebell came with a DVD, which was a bonus. The DVD's goal, I believe, is to show the correct usage of the kettelbell weight; how to stand, how to bend, how to hold your arms, et cetera. The quality of the video recording on my DVD is subpar (meaning the picture is not crisp), but it is still watchable, and the audio is okay.
The handle on this kettlebell is comfortable to hold with both hands. I like the vinyl over iron kettlebells because you don't have to worry about plastic edges or sand shifting in the bell. The vinyl is easy to keep clean, too. I would recommend this instrument to beginners for sure.
Customer Review: Awesome Results Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this workout. I actually noticed an increase in muscletone after a couple of workouts and after several weeks I feel amazing! I'm only doing it twice a week to work in my other excersize routines but it is an amazing workout, both aerobic and strength wise!!!!!I lost 104 pounds two years ago and have steadily increased my workout routines, but never really integrated weight training, just concentrating on aerobics due to time. The kettlebell helps with both and I am excited with the results. The accompanying video was easy to follow. I don't have much space and it is not required for this routine which makes it an excellent choice for me. I highly recommend this product!!!
