8 Week Rapid Evolution DVD Set

I purchased the Kettlebell Kickboxing series and was doing the Body Series and Scorcher 2.0 for the last 3 weeks. I was browsing on Amazon and came across the KettleWorx program again. I saw the price and was skeptical. I couldn't remember why I dismissed it the first time. I re-read some reviews and decided to take a chance. I did the first two Cardio workouts yesterday and did one 20 minute core and one 20 minute resistance workout today. I REALLY like this program. I think the price for this is about $79.99 on their website and I believe this program is on par for that cost. Or in other words, this is not just some cheap, lame workout program. My purchase price was $14.30 I decided to double up yesterday and do two of the 20-minute cardio workouts. The first 20 minutes had me huffing and puffing and I almost didn't make it through the second one. There were a few moves demonstrated that I haven't seen before. I felt like I was working much harder then the other K.B. workouts I was doing. I know this is partly because I went from doing a 40 second on and 20 second rest for each exercise to a one minute of work and 15 seconds of rest in this program. Background info: I'm a 45 year old male in good shape. I completed several of the Beachbody programs, Thunderbell, Cathe STS, etc... I was using a 15lb Kettlebell the last 2 days. Back to the program: the instructor is likeable. He does about 85% of the repititions with minimal talk on form,etc... It has the basic setup of other programs with 3 other exercisers in the background, with one doing modifications. It was fun and motivating. I felt like I was doing some advanced work, so I can't wait to see what the actual advanced workouts have in store for me! This program is setup for 8 weeks and designed for a single 20 minute workout 3-4 times a week, with the option of doing more. I'm not going into specifics, because I'm sure other reviews have that covered.

I wanted a DVD exercise program I could take on road trips for a quick workout, and this one fits the bill; the case packs easily and the weights ride in the backseat no problem. Each work out is about 20 minutes with a short warm up/cool down bookending the sessions. Usually it's a set of four or five different exercises about two minutes each, then the circuit is repeated. The program does not include kettlebells, as other reviewers have noted, but those are easily obtained from your local WalMart. The guidebook gives the recommended weight size; a good rule is to use a weight you can control -- the further it is away from your body, the harder it is to control. I use weights 5lb to 15lb, depending on the exercise.

The seller lied listing this product as a complete set. I only received the DVDs and case, none of the other products shown such as workout calendar or nutrition guide. You CANNOT find a free printable workout calendar online. I truly hate listings that are a lie.The actual Kettleworx program is great! Kettlebells are such an effective way to build muscle and burn fat quickly.

Did not like that routines recommended each workout were on different Dvd's and had to stop workout.

Came with only the 7 DVD discs, 1 DVD case, 1 case sleeve. No welcome letter, 8 week personal training guide, Power of eating in 3's guide, or 8 week rapid evolution calendar as listed in product description. I did find the guides and calendar on the KettleWorx website and was able to download, but not provided as indicated.

The package arrived right on time. I already had two kettle bells so I was ready. The introduction disc was short and straight forward which I really appreciate. I am on summer vacation and very serious about using this time to drop some major weight before I go back to work. I found an 8 week nutrition challenge and wanted an exercise program to accompany it. I learned that muscle burns fat and weight/ resistance training is the best way to build muscle...... So I ordered this set. I was overwhelmed with joy after completing the first workout! Why? Because I completed it from beginning to end with sweat dripping off my face. At no point did I want to quit. I am accustomed to finding excuses to throw in the towel early on. However, I didn't want to quit, I actually wanted to go longer. Why? Because the routine was interesting, well paced, and easy to understand. I'm a very big girl and I did that, enjoyed it and will follow the calendar for the next 8 weeks. This is intense like a body pump class yet it's doable.

This is a great set of workouts; as another reviewer mentioned, I also found them more challenging than Kettlebell Kickboxing The Body Series, the interval here are for a whole minute, so you get to work harder, but the exercises are fun! And Alex, the instructor is very likable and very encouraging, I love that there is a modifier in case you need to take it down a notch, I also think the calendar is well thought out, all in all a great program and way better than the old version, which I also happen to enjoy.

I have been using Kettlebells for a year and this workout has helped vary my exercises. The first workout I was sweating buckets. It is definitely a change from what I have been doing. I do recommend using different weights if possible. All I have is a 20 pound Kettlebell. I have only been doing this video for a week and I feel sore, which is a good thing.
