As a former competitive powerlifter, I should have been aware of the Russian Kettlebell. I lifted in the 198 Lb class and have a best bench of 410 pounds-no shirt, no wraps, no belt, no drugs. My wife, buys me the 44lb pounder and after viewing the DVD and reading through some of the book, I start swinging this ball of iron. WOW!

In five minutes I was sweating, huffing and puffing and having fun! I am still learning the moves and proper techniques, but as a former boxer, wrestler and lifter, this system is hands down the best for developing all around strength and fitness. I am also a "Grip" fanatic and the Kettlebell is awesome for building power throughout the lower arms. I took a fast paced power walk with my 44 pounder and kept swithing hands but made the 3 mile distance...what a workout!

If you are looking for a challenge, a way to develop power and agility and have fun...get the Kettlebell! After two days I ordered the 18 pounder for my wife and a 35 pounder for me! The 53 is next!

This is the best deal, and the best instructional combination for kettlebell introduction. It made an immediate difference in my technique, and helped me over a few obstacles that allowed me to move from 16kg to 20kg with ease.

Good complete package. I could have started with the 35lb., but have plenty of room to grow with the 44lb. Start off slow and pay attention to the book and DVD.

This is a wonderful package. Enter the Kettlebell could be the best workout book and DVD ever. It's got me excited about exercising again. I quit kettlebells for a long time because of elbow and shoulder pain. I just had Pavel's books to learn from. I've never got any coaching in person. I went to bodyweight exercises. But when I bought this set, I found out what I was doing wrong, thus bringing on the elbow and shoulder problems. Doing the work correctly has eliminated any problems and I'm feeling better than I have in years. The exercises are simple but effective. Before starting, I couldn't begin to press the 44. I can now one rep press it and it won't be long until it's my main bell, then on to the 53. I'm seeing amazing results and I'm seeing them fast. Kudos to Pavel and Dragon Door. I'd recommend this to anyone.

The kettlebell provides a challenging and fun workout. It is especially helpful for fat loss, developing power and athletic performance. It will also give your cardiovascular system more than a tickle as well! The 44lb Kettlebell is a good starting weight for anyone who can bench press more than 200lbs...for those who press less than 200 or who haven't worked out consistently, the 35lb weight will be more suitable. The video is easy to understand and follow. Overall, a great kit!

The book and dvd are tremendous in their scope in explaining the correct body mechanics for KB practise/training. When I began my first workout I was grinning during my workout, I was grinning after my workout and I am grinning anticipating my next workout.
I converted my girlfriend to KBs and when she watched the dvd and said it was so typically Russian in their style of teaching movement. My girlfriend has an extensive background in gymnastics and was impressed with Pavel's teaching style. I also converted a co-worker to the party.

I have started slowly and to this point am impressed. There are several exercises I can't do yet but from the first day I noticed my hand strength increased. I am working my way down to 230# and this will be a great tool. I just ordered another one along with an ab book. I'll be ready to take on Pavel in no time... Well maybe not.

I am new to the world of kettlebells but the quick-start kit got me off to a great beginning. The DVD and book really work well together and are simple to understand. I am still learning the basic forms and moves but am very pleased with the results so far. The quick-start kit is an excellent means of being introduced to the kettlebell.

This starter kit for the kettle bell is perfect. It gives you everything you need to master the essential exercises of Russian ketlebell lifting,

The 44lbs. starter kit is great. I have never used a kettlebell before so I thought this would be a good weight. It is for the most part, but I could have started heavier. Overall it is a great product. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I can see an improvement. Working out with the kettlebell has also improved everyday functional fitness, which I am very pleased about. I recommend this product to anyone who is serious about getting in shape.
