From my log regarding Lightning: Broken into several sets. Upper, Lower, Mental Toughness, Core and Indian Clubs. Pretty challenging. Very well put together, a great mix of different moves. My 20 got hard, especially with TGUs. Keeper. Upper, Lower and Core is a great combo. About 45 minutes. Alex is a great instructor too. Rounds are 30-60 seconds each, 3-4 moves, with about 30 sec rest in between rounds. I like having body parts split. Some cardio too with Swings. GREAT core moves like full Getups and partial.

Just did Luscious & Lean today. I like it! Not killer hard, however I think the key with this workout is to go heavy. I started with 20lb bell, 25, 35. Of course that is just me - use what works best for YOU.
Format below. Each Section is done 3 times each with a 30 second break in between each set. Reps start at 8-7-6 so you are meant to go heavier each time as your reps get lower. Pace is slow enough to go heavy and keep good form. It doesn't look like a lot, but again, if you use heavy enough bells, it will be challenging. Lauren even says if you're bored, go heavier. Instruction and form tips are good. One other gal (doing beginner moves) and Todd doing intermediate. Lauren does advanced. I think this would be just fine for a relative beginner to kettlebells, but you need to know the proper form for the moves she does. Intermediate to advanced - go heavier (yeah broken record but it does make a difference). Warmup (Mobility) Section 1: Single Leg Deadlift to One Arm Press Mountain Climbers Section 2: Tactical Lunges Deck or Goblet Squats Squat Press Section 3: Low Swing Medium Swing High Swing One Leg Plank Cool down

I love Lauren, but titles seem to be a weak area for her.
I always laugh at "The Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells DVD" which is the most awkwardly titled fitness DVD I have ever seen. And she then reused it on two more DVDs! I remember a lot of people being super put off by "Shut Up and Train," although it didn't bother me. I do, however, find fitness DVDs with terms like "sexy" and "luscious" in the titles embarrassing. Much prefer words like strong, because that's my goal - and also workouts my (male) partner is willing to consider trying. Not the sexy lady ones. She did well with Kettlebell Body and Kettlebell Lightning, however. To the point, not aliening. Perhaps she needs to make volume 2 and 3 of those. |

I am a bit confused on why shipping seems to be on the high side. I actually asked and was told so which is it, do they do it themselves or use a shipping company. Sorry don't like two different stories in less than a week. I ended up not buying but thought the answer I got and what Lauren sent in an e-mail to be strange - two different stories.
"Hello, We use a shipping company to mail our products, have you tried our streaming/download service? Much faster and cheaper all around. DVDs are becoming obsolete, eventually we will be moving away all together from hard copy DVDs, they costs are so high to make them" and then got an e-mail over the weekend stating the opposite "There was a time I thought it would be better for me to hire a large fulfillment company. Which can be a very smart business decision. Two main reasons we keep it in house with a small team. #1 - I like to see each name go on the package. Something about package everything yourself, sealing them and knowing where they are going. #2. I feel connected to our customers/students. Afterall, this is a homegrown business and we care about each customer. Do we or our assistants make mistakes once in awhile? Of course we do! We aren't robots or machines and once in a while, the wrong DVD may get put in the wrong envelope. Minor things. We usually just send out the right one and let our customer keep the one we sent them on accident. I really don't mind getting my hands dirty and be fully involved in all parts of my business. 😊 " |
