Kettlebell Basics

I’ve reviewed and talked about quite a few different kettlebell-related products and services here on KettlebellBasics.net.  AndI know that quite a few of you out there are, well, just crazy about kettlebells and want to know about all the latest and coolest kettlebell stuff.  So here’s a list of all the products and services I’ve reviewed on KettlebellBasics.net:

Full disclosure on this post: Some of the links to the following products are affiliate links – meaning that I get a commission if you click on these links and end up buying the product. But these are all great products that I use myself and enjoy, and this is why I’m recommending them.

Dragon Door Kettlebells

There are a ton of different kettlebells out there at quite a few different price points – while I certainly haven’t trained with all of them, I have used quite a few, and I like Dragon Door the best, plain and simple.

These KB’s are very well balanced, they have a nice smooth handle, they’re built to a high quality standard – check out this post for more details:

Enter The Kettlebell

This is a basic manual by Pavel that gives you an awesome template for getting started with kettlebells. Gives you a program for building size and strength using the kettlebell as a stand alone tool. Pavel’s writing style also keeps you entertained. Check out the full review here:

The Gym Boss Interval Timer

This is cool because a lot of kettlebell workouts – maybe even most – are going to have some time element to them – for example, the circuit workouts we do in the KettlebellBasics.net Quick Start Guide.

You can just use a regular stopwatch for this, but if you want to take things to the next level and make your life easier, be able to program different intervals and have the flexibility to do all kinds of stuff, the GymBoss interval timer is killer. You can read more about this on the recommended resources page or read the full review here:

The HKC Kettlebell Certification

The Russian Kettlebell Challenge was an awesome experience for me and was one of the most memorable training experiences of my life. But it’s not for everyone – some people don’t want to go to this level of commitment financially or physically.  The new HKC certification is a great alternative.

This cert costs about five or six hundred bucks, it’s a one-day seminar and it teaches you the essential basic kettlebell moves. You can also apply the cost of this cert to the RKC in the next year which is pretty cool. Here’s the full review:

The Kettlebell Goddess DVD

Not to say that men and women should really be training much differently, but when it comes down to it, many times a different kind of approach is going to work for men vs. women.

This video is focused on and caters towards females – check out the review here:

Viking Warrior Conditioning

This review actually isn’t on this blog, but I had to throw it in – it’s an awesome program. It’s a totally insane kettlebell cardio program that, if you can last through, will get you into incredible cardio condition. It worked wonders for me; check out the review here:

Kettlebells From The Ground Up

Specialty DVD and manual from Grey Cook, RKC, world-renowned Physical Therapist and creator of the CK-FMS certification, and Brett Jones, Master RKC. This is a product that breaks down the special RKC-style Turkish Get Up to great detail and teaches you how to perform it as both an assessment tool and corrective exercise. Highly recommended product if you have pain from old injuries, have movement imbalances that need fixing, or if you’re just struggling to learn the Get Up:

The KettlebellBasics.net Quick Start Guide

My own personal guide to getting started with kettlebells. One advantage of my guide is that it’s delivered in digital format; so you get it instantly and can start learning immediately instead of having to wait for it to ship. It’s got some bonus workout Mp3’s, a couple of bonus manuals that I’ve included with the package, and a brand new video series to re-enforce what’s in the manual. And you actually only have a few days left to grab the entire package before the price goes up – click below to check out the details:
