The debate continues on the Kettleworx DVDs. Are they any good? Is a 10lb Kettlebell heavy enough? Is Ryan certified?
I’ll be honest I don’t know the answer to those questions what I do know however is that many people are happy with Kettleworx. Normally if an Infomercial product is complete rubbish you come across many negative comments both on and off-line. Yes you’ll find a few negative comments mostly from people doing traditional Kettle Bell training who scoff at the 5-10lb weight and who’ll tell you it’s far to light even for women.
I would have to disagree. If you’re already fit and fairly strong and have a history of working out then 10lbs may well be to light – assuming you’ve had the correct training that is. But lets face it who is the target market for this product? It’s going to be middle aged overweight people with little or no workout experience.
Do you really want that type of client hurling a heavy weight around? With poor core stability lets face it they’re going to hurt themselves before long and then they won’t be able to train at all will they?
Let them start with Kettleworx and a light weight. Once they’ve strengthened then they can move up to a heavier weight. If Kettleworx gets people excited enough to workout then that’s fine by me. If someone can show me that the Kettleworx is dangerous then please post your comment below.
