Maurteen Martone Cardio Fatloss for Women and Interval Training for Women
(This was done by me) Breakdown of Cardio Fatloss for Women
Maureen Martone - Cardio Fat Loss for Women It isn't a must have. The set is ugly. She is in a large room and all I notice behind her is a ugly white wall. It is broken down into 3 15 min workouts: warm up-5min (same in all 3 workouts) beginner - 5min 2 arm swing 1 arm swing right 1 arem swing left H2H swing (hand to hand) intermediate 5 min 1 arm clean right 1 arm clean left alternating dead clean alternating clean and jerk advanced (this is tough) 5 min clean and snatch right clean and snatch left alternating squat thrust /clean/snatch combo cool down 5min (same in all 3 workouts) 2 arm swing around the body pass (sling shot) side step box squat H2H bonus section (this is from her husbands dvd) high pull catch high pull catch into front squat high-pull clean-right high-pull clean left I did this today. I think there is a way you can mix and match these but I could not remember how to do it. It is a short intense workout but nothing special. If I were you I would stick with getting kettlebell goddess. Comments from Martha Edington I have Cardio & Fat Loss for Women, but it's on my swap list. Nothing wrong with it--it's just not the way I'm interested in working out right now. It has a warm-up, a cooldown, and four 5-minute segments that are mixed and matched to create 20 different workouts. The moves are all pretty basic, the instruction is good, the music and set are very, very basic. I bought Interval Training for Women and sent it back for a refund because it's a DVD-R and also because it wouldn't play properly in either of my DVD players. I was able to preview it on my laptop, and I think the concept and exercises are great. Maureen is going to send me one that's been burned just for me to see if the playability is any better, but I've been e-mailing back and forth with her about the DVD-R issue and about how I'd never knowingly buy one and would never recommend one to any of my kettlebell-using friends, either. Their replicator is insisting that DVD-R is the industry standard (yeah, right) and that the problem is with my players because they're just not powerful enough for the technology (does this sound familiar, Cathe fans?).

Dave Whitley-Power Circuit review and breakdown
This was done by me
Power Circuit I think this is DVD-R. It is chaptered by the workout. There is music, no warm up or cool down, just you and Dave. It is not as professional as the AOS DVDs. It's very basic but I like it anyway. The breakdown is : 11 minute workout Turkish Get Up Hindu Push Up Swing Hindu Squat 20 minute workout Windmills Hindu Pushup One Arm Row Hindu Squat Clean and Press Squat Thrust Swing 38 minute workout Turkish Windmill Hindu Push Up Clean and Press Hindu Squat Sling Shot and Swing Squat Thrust One Arm Snatches Jumping Jack and Toe Touches ONe Arm Row Alternating Floor Press Swing Thruster Pull Over and a Get Up Sit Up

Revolution Fatloss Vol. 1 breakdown and review
Review by Janzia
Revolution Fatloss I didn't know if should start a new thread for this but I knew many of you were interested in a review for this workout. I'm terrible at reviews so I'll just give a breakdown and some thoughts. On the dvd menu there's a choice of Lifestyle Tips, Kettlebell instruction and specific exercises, and Exercise Routine A and Exercise Routine B. Lifestyle Tips Just your basic stuff here, eat clean, drink water, get a good night's sleep, etc. If you want the whole diet plan than you have to get the book (I didn't). Kettlebell Instruction - You can either view all or a specific exercise. The exercises covered are: 1) Intro 2) Lunges 3) Squats 4) Push Ups 5) Cleans 6) Turkish Get Up 7) Windmills 8) Attacks 9) Biceps 10) Triceps 11) Sit Ups 12) Snatches 13) Deadlifts 14) Rows 15) Presses 16) Swings 17) General Preparation Exercises I followed along with the instructional and have to say I got a little workout just from it, LOL. There wasn't much new here as far as information presented. There was something about the way she instructed the clean that I did think help (at least me) quite a bit. Okay now onto the workout themselves. Basic Routine A Consists of 3 circuits with a minute rest between each circuit of: Tactical Lunges X 20 Clean and Military Press X 6 each side TKU X 2 each side Then you do 3 circuits with a minute rest between each circuit of: Renegade Rows X 5 each side alternating arms 20 Swings Bicep Curls X 10 Jumping Jacks for 30 seconds End of workout I did this routine today and although it might not sound like much I did find it challenging. It clocked in at about 20 minutes and there was no warm-up, cool down or stretches which at the very least I wish there would have been some stretching. The production value is okay, nothing to complain about but nothing fancy either. I thought the background scenery was very nice, it was filmed outside and all I can really remember is that there was some beautiful flowers around. Music was okay, nothing memorable. Hmmm, what else? Very little talking. Basically just an announcement of what was next and a few reminders on form here and there. Okay now for Basic Routine B: Consists of 3 circuits with a minute rest between each circuit of: Suitcase Deadlift x 8 Fisted Pushups x 10 Snatches x 10 each side Then you do 3 circuits with a minute rest between each circuit of: Single Arm Squat Press X 5 each side Single Arm Swing x 10 Mountain Climbers for 30 seconds Shuffles for 30 seconds (what they call shuffles I think more of as a cross country skiiing move). End of workout All in all I liked the portion of the workout I did and I don't think I'll regret purchasing it even at the price. I think either workout would suffice as a quickie or be great as an add on or you could combine both A and B for a longer workout. I didn't time Routine B since I didn't do it but since it's the same format with maybe an exercise or two more I'd say it's 20 minutes too, at the most 30. I'll try to at least view Vol.2 and give a breakdown of it within the next couple of days. If anyone has any questions just let me know and I'll try to answer the best I can.

Revolution Fat Loss V2
This was done by Janzia (It is not the entire DVD)
Debbie - Great minds must think alike, we did very similar workouts today. I did the Goddess Artemis (the upper body one) and a set of pull ups and chin ups. I added on the basic routine B from the Revolution dvd too. I was smoked afterwards! I previewed half of Revolution Kettlebell Fat Loss Vol. 2 today. It's the same setup as the first volume minus the instructional segment plus an additional two routines for a total of four, two intermediate, two advanced. Here's the breakdown of the two I previewed today. Intermediate Routine A Double Attack, Double Clean, Double Press X 5 Windmill X 3 each side Single Arm Bent Over Row x 8 per arm Single Arm Swing Ladder > 5 1 minute rest Repeat circuit twice with a minute rest between each circuit. Triceps x 10 Bear Walk x 5 Single Leg Deadlift x 5 per leg Farmer's Walk 30 seconds Star Jumps x 5 1 minute rest Repeat circuit twice with a minute rest Workout completed. Intermediate Routine B Single Arm Overhead Front Lunge x 8 per side Double Bent Over Row x 8 Single Attack & Single Dead Clean R & L x 8 TKU (no hands) x 2 per side 1 minute rest Repeat circuit twice with a minute rest between each circuit. Upright Row Squat x 10 Single Clean Swing & Snatch x 8 per side Alternating Floor Press x 10 each side Situps x 10 1 minute rest Repeat circuit twice with a minute rest Workout completed. It looked pretty tough to me. I started to preview the other two routines but got tired so I'll post when I get a breakdown of those. Jeanette

It has tons of options. It is great for a beginner. There is no music and she says we all have our own taste in music so you can play your own music once you are comfortable with the exercises. Also I think there is no music so that you can learn how to breathe correctly for each exercise.

Hi Janzia,
I thought I was overlooking it. I looked forevever for it. If you want to PM me I can put it in the review. Hi Ann, I added the Agatsu site. Thanks for reminding me. Deb, Great that you rescue too. My rescue is called INKY. Indiana-Kentucky rottweiler rescue. I think I am done for tonight. I will add both Sarah Lurie's and the two Art of Strengths tomorrow.
