This is an excellent DVD that allows you to mix and match workouts and spend as much time or as little if you don't have a lot of time and still feel like you were able to get a sweat and heart rate going. I look forward to working out each day. I just need to add the second kettlebell to increase the intensity. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
Lisbeth - Denver, CO USA

This is one of the best DVD's that I have ever purchased. It is so complete with workouts and instructions. The variety is terrific. I really enjoyed Andrea in "From Russia with Tough Love", but this is the best. Nicole and Kristann are a wonderful compliment to her and very much inspire me to keep working to get better. I tried to just watch the video without picking up the kettlebells, but I couldn't. I had to jump right into a workout. I am glad I did. First the warm up was one of the most thorough that I have ever had. Then the exercises really hit the mark. I had such a pump in my lower body and an overall rush all over. Then the nice cool down made me feel like I really accomplished something. I plan to keep on doing the workouts. Thanks for the Kettlebell Goddess Workout. Please keep up the good work!
Robin McGill - Tampa, FL USA

First off this is the second dvd that i have used since starting the awesome KB journey with, the first one was a short 26 minute workout with music and pretty scenery. It was a great dvd to start out with but after 2 months of using it and seeing results, but the 10 exercises got to be pretty boring. I came back to dragon door and found Andrea's dvd and read the reviews and decided to give it a shot and picked up From Russia with tough love. I started swinging KB's in March and started faithfully the Goddess dvd in the middle of May. Oh my goodness, the results are awesome. Let me say I was 45years old, and totally out of shape when I first picked up the KB in the spring. Now in the fall 48 pounds lighter with tone and definition in my legs that i have never had, and the middle age chicken flab under the arms is almost gone, and loving each and every workout. I make sure I find the time to get in some part of the Goddess dvd everyday. Andrea you challenge me everyday, you inspire me everyday and have helped with the increased health and fitness I am gaining. I would never have dreamed a year ago in as little as 30 minutes or less a day 4 to 5 days a week I would have gotten these results. WoW girl, you go. Thank you so much for creating this DVD!!!! I tell everyone about it and have challenged my teenage nephews to come workout with me if they have the "iron will" to keep up with me. Again, thank you.
Michele - Terre Haute, IN

I ordered this DVD before I attended the RKC in September and wow has it given me a new perspective on training. It adds a new excitement on working with KB's. All three ladies show different views of each exercise which helps you better understand them. The atmosphere of the DVD creates a relaxing yet motivating theme. I love that there are different workouts given to help add variety to your training. This DVD is a definite must for men and women, beginners and advanced KBer's.
Christine Staunch, RKC - Bayonne, NJ

This is a DVD for every level of workout. If you follow the appropriate instructor, it is possible to work yourself up to the next level quite easily. One can watch this over and over and find that you are actually following the higher level instructor in a short time period. The camera captures each angle of the various positions so that you can mimic correct form at all times. Of all the DVD's for any type of workout, I think is the best one to workout to and it produces the best results.

I was really excited about getting this DVD because of all the high ratings, however, after the first time watching it I haven't used it again. It was nice to see the different drills, but like others commented, it is very dry with no music. I don't have plans on ever using it for working out, but maybe I'll use it as a refresher on form or for some ideas on different drills. I prefer to use a workout I downloaded for free on line that has music and works on my Ipod.
Marcia - CA

There have been so many positive reviews of this DVD, that I decided to write my review to counter some of the criticism the DVD has received because of a lack of a music soundtrack.

No, there is no music in the background. To me, THAT IS A BIG PLUS!!! I have a couple of Pilates DVDs that have music backgrounds. Even if you liked the music, and it wasn't too loud, if you actually use the DVD with any regularity you quickly become absolutely SICK of hearing the same music again... and again... and again...

If you like to work out with music, turn on your stereo or clip your iPod on -- then you can choose whatever background music you feel like, be it Mozart or Steppenwolf. You can also control the volume.

I hope I have successfully dispensed with this ridiculous criticism found in some other reviews on this site.

The DVD itself is terrific. Great workouts and camera angles so you can see what is going on. You will never get bored, there are so many ways to mix and match these workouts. The best DVD I have. Good job, guys!

Lani G. - Evansville, IN

I recently purchased the Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! If you have an interest in incorporating Kettlebells into your daily workout, this DVD is a good introduction into how to do just that.
Karen from San Diego - San Diego, CA

THE WORKOUT VARIETY OFFERED IN THIS DVD IS EXCEPTIONAL, EXPLAINATIONS ARE CLEAR AND WELL EXPLAINED, ANDREA'S DVD LEAVES NO QUESTION UNANSWERED AND COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF WORKOUTS AND MODIFICATIONS FOR ALL LEVELS ALTHOUGH SOME SKILLS ARE CHALLANGING EVEN FOR THE MOST FIT, THE DVD PROVIDES ENOUGH PROGRAMS TO KEEP YOUR WORKOUTS FROM BECOMING BORING, THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS IM ALMOST READY TO HAVE TO BUY A HEAVIER KETTLEBELL AS IM SLOWLY INCREASING MY SKILL AND STRENGTH, BUT I SEE THAT AS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE.
VALERIE A MORGAN - GLOUCESTER, VIRGINIA

I am fairly new to KB workouts, and was on a search for a good DVD. I had high hopes for this workout because of the rave reviews I'd read. I was sorely disappointed. The workout itself might be a good one, as the exercises are good basic KB exercises, but Andrea Du Cane doesn't cue, count (with one or two minor and seemingly incidental instances) or instruct during the actual exercises, and there is no music (which would have helped with the exercise count). That forces you to look at the screen constantly to make sure you are doing the movements correctly and at the same count or time. There are moments when you can sort of hear her counting under her breath, but I'm not sure as she was doing her explosive hissing exhales.

I regret spending my money on this DVD.

Getting strong - L.I. N.Y. USA

I love this dvd. I don't think you will ever get bored as you can create your own workouts or pick from some already created.

It is an awesome workout as well.
Katie - Canda

I really like this DVD! Seeing each exercise from different angles and with different ways of using the Kettlebells is a great help. I like that I don't have to have two Kettlebells to do the workouts. Since I am a beginner, I only ordered one Kettlebell.
Andrea is very thorough in her descriptions.
Highly recommended!!
Sandy - Richmond, KY

I have several DVDs on kettlebells including all of Punch Gym's and some of Mike Mahler's. The Kettlebell Goddess Workout contains very good information but it is extremely boring to watch. I hate to use the word boring because I think as long as a person has a brain, he shouldn't get bored---but I found this DVD hard to watch. I returned it directly because I knew there were better products out there. The information is very good but the delivery is poor. It would be a good DVD to learn from but it is not a work-along DVD. Even a touch of music would have enlivened it.
I do have several Dragon Door DVDs and enjoy them, but this one I would pass on.


Ronnie - Wyoming

This video is challenging, exhilirating and definitely worth purchasing. The proper positions and form are carefully explained and demonstrated, the warmup and stretches are great, and the fact that you can mix and match the exercises for your own personal workout is wonderful. I look forward to doing my kettlebell workout each day and feel fantastic when I'm done. After just 3 weeks, I've moved up to a heavier kettlebell, and have lost inches around my waist and hips. All hail the Goddess (workout)!

I am a recent kettlebell user and was bored with the current DVD I was using. I was excited to find the Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD as a new option. The workouts are challenging and heartpounding! I have been working with the cardio and fat burning routines that were suggested on the CD/PDF portion of the DVD. I am looking forward to finding the Goddess within as I try to master all the workouts. It was definately worth the money! Thank you Andrea Du Cane and Dragon Door!
Kathleen Gallagher - Channahon, IL USA

This is a fantastic tool for me as a trainer and personaly I love the work outs.

Haveing the choice to follow Andeas work outs or mixing them up is ideal as i get to do something different every day.

Andrea and the girls put a bit of a feminine touch to some really tough drills, my clients love the variety and so do I

Thank you.




karen elliott - ACT Australia

This is by far the best workout DVD I've found. The exercises are clearly explained and done in real time, including the reps so you don't have to keep hitting the pause key.

There are so many drills and they are laid out in a great format - both as total workouts for cardio, upper body, legs etc, and as individual drills. There is even a list of suggested drill groups for daily and weekly workouts. Nothing is left out. A great workout DVD.
Karen - UK

Andrea Du Cane is very informative, it is refreshing that there is no studio enhancements, you actually hear how hard they are working. My only complaint, if it is that, the instructor of the cool down/stretching segment is a bit on the bossy side. This is a cool down, not boot camp.
Lisa - Youngstown Ohio USA

Since I am new to kettlebell workouts, I was wanting a great instructional, easy to follow workout. This is easy to follow, but definitely not easy! I did two of the workouts, one for upper and one for lower, and felt like I got a tremendous workout. The only reason I gave this an 8 was because of the fact there is no music and it can be a bit boring without it. (I LOVE my music!) But I just played my own and went with it. All in all, a fantastic DVD for those new to the bells.

This DVD is awesome! I think it's the best one I have ever seen. No cheesy music,strong cool women, I love it! I am also out of shape from having my baby and I am able to do most of the exercise but it's super intense! Everyone should be using kettlebells they're the best!!
Deanna mom to Aidan - Fabulous Orlando

My husband bought the dvd for me, and I love it! I can do it at home in the morning, while my baby sleeps! I love that there are so many different workouts too! It's great!!
Kelly Karls - Chicago

This is a great DVD. Probably the best thing about it is its versatility. I've never had a workout video that was as "customizable" as this. It allows you to mix and match and create your own workout. The combinations are almost limitless, so you don't get bored. If you print out the PDF that comes with it, you get even more ideas of how to run your workout for the week. By far, the best exercise video I've ever purchased.
Shelli - Cincinnati, OH

I am new to kettlebells, and I come from a background of follow-along workouts. This DVD not only lets you customize your kettlebell workouts by choosing among the segments, it also contains six follow-along workouts. They all kick my behind quite well. The three instructors show perfect form, and the workouts are amazing. What amazes me about kettlebell work is how you can accomplish so much in so little time. This DVD is the mainstay of my newfound love of kettlebell training!! Please make another one just like it!!
Carol - Murfreesboro, TN

I bought this DVD for my wife, to get her on board with a challenging kettlebell fitness routine. Trying it out myself, I was actually quite impressed with a lot of it. The speed for the cardio section even proved to be quite a challenge for me! Since the instruction is a little limited, I would recommend buying 'Enter the Kettlebell' with it. And keep your eyes on the screen, since she doesn't keep the count with you. There's no soundtrack, but if you need music, get a radio.

LOVE HOW I CAN PICK WHAT I WANT TO DO AT ANY TIME. LEARNED ALOT OF NEW AND WONDERFUL NEW WORKOUTS AND MOVES. VERY EASY TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH. MY HUSBAND ALSO JUMPS IN BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU THE OPTION OF LEVEL OF WEIGHT & EXPERIANCE. GREAT FOR THE BOOST I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!
CASI MATSON - CASTAIC, CA USA

Very functional workout. It is harder than it looks. There is a lot of variety available. The only negative is that there is no music. I find it hard to workout with no music at all.
Christy - Savannah, GA

I love this dvd, it has taken my kettlebell training to a new, previously unattainable level. To con a phrase, "Pain is weakness leaving the body"....after completing the 'Goddess' workouts there will be no weakness left to leave the body, only the exquisite pain that can only be felt after a proper bell thrashing.

Nikki - Personal Trainer/Massage Therapist - Sydney, AUSTRALIA

Extremely informative DVD, with great workouts, and customizing potentials. We only wish there were more "verbal" reminders on form while working out with the DVD. Many of the exercises require looking at the Kettlebell, and it can be difficult to workout and watch the Poses at the same time.

Other than that...we love it!
BurnNfly - San Carlos, CA USA

I bought this video for my wife and she loves it. I thought I could do this video really easy so I joined her one day with a 45# kettlebell. I found out that this video is not just for females.

This video is unique because it allows you to customize the workouts based on the sets you wish to do. There are 3 variations to each exersize so you can chose the one that fits your fitness level that day. The only thing I don't like about this video is that there isn't any music. I would have preferred to at least have a music option available. Andrea gives good instruction, but she isn't counting off the reps, giving encouragement, or tips, so why not add a few tunes to keep it interesting?

I like the stretch at the end of each workout.
Sandi O'Shaughnessy - Kauai, Hawaii

I've had the KB Goddess Workout for two weeks and I'm not yet through it all! I am impressed and grateful for this offering. Andrea is so clear and thorough - and kind! - through all of her instruction. I appreciate the variety in, and the toughness of, each workout. I'm awakening muscles that have been sleeping for sometime. I'm a newcomer to KBs, although I have used Pavel's From Russia With Tough Love, which is also excellent. With the Goddess Workout, it all feels accessible, that even if I can't do it (all of the sets or a new form) today, I'll be able to do it tomorrow - or SOON. So the training is empowering and hopeful. All of the women in the video are beautiful and able trainers, so thank you to them, and especially to Andrea, who embodies Kettlebell Goddess and training excellence.

My next goal - to train with Andrea in person.

P.S. I wanted to get this video for some time, but didn't. DON'T WAIT! For health, for fitness, for fun - you deserve this!
JoAnne S - Minneapolis, MN USA

This is not a DVD for beginners as it offers only a simple review of various moves. For those who have the basics down pretty well this DVD offers routines that cook your butt! That has always been a complaint with beginners. "Now that I feel comfortable doing these moves how do I put it together to achieve what I want and not get bored?" This DVD puts it together. My only suggestion would be to add a guy or two to the lineup and rename it, "The KB Immortal Workout."
JTT - CA, USA

this is a great kick but sweat drippin workout men and ladies will enjoy it!
marcus - colorado springs

the Goddess workout really makes you feel stronger right away. There is no messing around with Andrea. She is a great instructor. She speaks to you like she is right there. She also give proper instruction with lots of versitility. I love it.

I didn't really enjoy this workout too much. There is no music on the background that you an listen too, and it's very slow moving too me. If I had known this in the beginning I wouldn't have purchased this dvd. I guess it's good for people who may be just beginning, but for more experienced kettlebell workers definityly need something more higher impact. For a beginner I would recommend it, but not at these price it's a little pricey for something not so good.
Jianean - Texas

I just love "The Kettlebell Goddess Workout"! It is so easy to workout to this DVD! It contains Great Instruction, Classic Kettlebell Movements,Fresh and Exciting Drills to workout different area's of your body and Andrea Du Cane is just truly a great teacher! I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to learn the basic's or to learn new movements that are sure to make you sweat!
Angela Washington - Columbus,Ohio

i started the goddess workouts and a week i noticed a difference in my body, particularly the hips and legs. they just shrinked so fast i couldnt believe it was my legs!! my arm,s are starting to show some definition too and i dont even do this workout everyday, and i;m not dieting! i dont mind having no music, i think andrea is trying to teach us how to breathe properly and the music would just distract us from learning proper breathing. but buying the kettlebell and this dvd is the best choice i have ever made, all the other exercise machines can go down the drain!
girls, if you havent bought this dvd yet, you're missin out
annabel - malaysia

The quick review section is a wonderful reference for those times when you need to check a particular exercise. It is a great workout and shows variations for different levels of fitness.
Kim - Fairfax Station, VA

The depth and content of this DVD are amazing. There are so many workouts to choose from. You have the flexibility to choose long or short workouts, to focus on cardio, strength, upper body, lower body or to mix and match workouts. Andrea did a great job designing this DVD.

This DVD offers the great flexibility of allowing you to choose from specific goal oriented workouts or creating your own workout by choosing from several exercises. You won't get bored quickly with this one! I like that Andrea gives different variations of ways to execute some of the exercises(I am fairly new to KB). There is no music and she is not very talkative, almost to a fault. There are a few times when I wish she would vocally count down or say it is time to change sides so I wouldn't have to keep up with it myself by counting or keeping my eyes on the tv. Not enough of an issue to keep me from loving this DVD though.
JC - Knoxville, TN

I am enjoying the follow-along workouts on the DVD. I would have preferred them set to music rather than the "loud" silence. But other than that I'm very pleased.
A.Sheriff - Crane,TX USA

That's how my girls in Phoenix and Hawaii describe this video! They were impressed with Andrea's physique, demonstrations, and her manner. I'm placing an order for a 3rd copy of the KB Goddess workout and will probably eventually order a 4th....I've got 4 girls! They've tried a lot of different workouts over the years: gym (free wts., machines), personal trainers, etc. and this one kicks major butt! (Personally, I've done every kind of workout imaginable for over 50 years, even owned a fitness center at one time in my life, and they assure me that I'll love this one when I next fly to Phoenix!)
Tom Shippy - Gillette, WY USA

I ordered this dvd for a lady friend of mine, but I have to say I think I will be using it, too! It's a great follow along program, but also allows the option to create your own program. I really like the fact that a mobility warm up and cool down stretching program are added. Lots of great exercises and workouts, this one is not just for ladies!! It's great to see a dvd produced by a woman. Well done Mrs. DuCane!!

JonFrost - Naples, Florida

I love this video. I have found a new fitness passion.
I was doing yoga and weight training - but truth be
told - weight training had grown dull for me. Kettebells
put the spark back in pain. :-) Andrea Du Cane
is an expert at what she does and it comes through
in her perfect physical technique and smooth delivery
of precise, step-by-step instructions. I also very much
appreciate the lack of any music... so I can choose
my own. My ability to mix n' match workouts
based on my particular energy level or training needs is also
a unique and useful feature.

Keep up the great work!
By the way, I've only been using the kettlebells for a week
and there are VISIBLE changes in my muscle tone.
My husband commented on it and has begun
training with me.

This DVD was a good introduction to kettlebell, which was what I wanted. As a personal trainer, I did not need the warmup segment or to see each exercise done 3x. The menu needs to be somewhat modified to make navigating thru the exercises easier to find.
Patty - Long Island, NY

I had been used to doing "the art of strength, providence"; fast paced, fun music, challenging, with 2 minute interval workouts. When I did "the kettle-bell Goddess workout", I was disappointed at first. It's a good workout for women who are beginners at kettle-bell training, or women who have never exercised before. It was very slow, no music (extremely quiet), and low quantity of reps. However, it's a great workout if you just want to do something. You can break it down into 6 different workouts, all targeting different body parts. I do it when I'm just tired and not up to exercising. In 20 minutes you get a nice workout, and you don't feel like a waste of a day.
Lucylu - NY, USA

Wow! This DVD really gives you a great workout. I am newer to Kettlebells and wanted to be able to follow along with someone else. Being able to workout in my home is a must for me, and I hate to go anywhere to work out. This DVD will really make you sweat and work hard. I noticed that in the short time that I've been working out with this DVD and my kettlebells that the jiggly part on my underarm is noticeably less jiggly (my husband was actually the one who noticed this), and my bottom has actually lifted some. My kettlebells will be my only workout tool from now on!
Mandy - Ottawa, ON, Canada

I was going to keep this link until I could consider myself a bit more knowledgeable about kettlebell-ing :). I am absolutely green, so I thought, "what could I have to say". But I have used the DVD every day for a week, and between this, and my wonderful aders, also from DD, I feel that I am starting my journey with top of the line tools! I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, and strongly believe in using a trainer when I begin a new method. Alas, this time, due to time-restraints, I had to jump in and HOPE the net appeared! I believe it has, in the form of this DVD. A trainer can really appreciate the way this is laid out, and the only down-side is that it makes me SO eager to "get to" all of those wonderful more advanced sessions, so I must practice delayed gratification. I will be back to report even more, once I know what I am talking about! :0D
Sherilyn - Littleton, CO USA

Recently I have joined in with my husband's love of kettlebells. We're both in the AF and there is a certain look we're supposed to maitain to be 'fit to fight'and he kind of strayed away from that look for a while. He picked up kettlebells as a regular way of working out. That plus eating better has helped him loose almost 50lbs since the end of July. As a way to maintain accountability for himself, he even created a website russbeye.com so we could write down his daily routines and post pictures and videos of his kettlebells.

So many of our coworks have noticed the drastic changes in his body and demeanor and wanted in on some of the action. He began offering demonstrations of the types of exercises he had been using for the men around work. Then the women get interested, so I offered to show them what I do on my 18lb beauty. I started ended up naming her Sedussa, because everyone who tries her out is immediately sedused and ultimately ends up getting one for themselves. Since so many ladies fell in love, I decided to purchase the Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD so that we could have group sessions as soon as all of their KBs arrived.

I just got the DVD and went through a few of the exercises. So far I am very impressed with the quality and understandability of how to do each. It is recommended that you start with From Russia, With Tough Love; however I think this video is easy enough to use even if you didn't have the first one. Several of the previous reviews I read indiicated that everyone liked the DVD but some didn't like the lack of music. I completely understand why Andrea chose to leave it out. The DVD is like a smorgasbord of small exercises that the user can choose at whim, each section only lasting a couple of minutes. This would have made it very difficult to get motivating workout music to play seamlessly in the background.

Great job Andrea! I can't wait until our first large group session for all the kettlebell goddesses at my work.

I was really pleased with the variety of workouts presented on the video. It will be a very good way to vary my workouts without ever getting bored or repetetive. The only thing I would have liked better is if there had been some music or something of that sort since I tend to do better with something in the background. But that is truly no reflection on the quality of the information provided in the video.
Leigh - Idaho, USA

I have learned some new exercises to do with my KB's. The program lets me do a quick workout when I am pressed for time or do a variety of workouts back to back when I want to do more.
I can see that by using a heavier KB or using two KB's can increase the workout dramatically so I can continually increase the intensity of the workout.
Elisa - Montana

I was very excited to get the DVD. I am relatively new to kettlebells, however i have worked out with a kettlebell trainer and done many exercises to previous DVDs. According to the other reviews i felt this DVD would be fun to workout to, but on the contrary. I felt her presentation to be very dry, their was no music and little energy conveyed in the workouts which went by really fast with no time for breaks in between. Their are only a few seconds between workouts. In alot of her workouts she uses 2 kettlebells and I only have one so that cuts out alot of workouts.
It's not too bad, but I would not recommend it.
Gretchen Stell - Austin, TX USA

I have about 3 kettlebell dvd's and Andrea is by far the best, the variety is absolutely motivating.
Stan - Nassau Bahamas

Andrea explains each exercise and demonstates with three views (right, left profile and head-on). The workouts are an economy of force. No music, no messing around. She just calls out the exercise and the girls move out. Keep up if you can.

Great workout! I used muscles that I hadn't used in a long time. I will recommend this to everyone.

Greetings, Comrades.

I bought this DVD for my sixteen year old daughter. She was worried about a few extra pounds she was carrying since the swim season ended and proms were coming up.

I previewed the tape with her and she got right to it with her 18 lb. kettlebell. She loves it. Most of her previous workouts have been in a pool and she had no idea she could sweat so much.

The following week, a buddy of mine-- the guy who introduced me to Dragondoor-- gave me two 35 lb. kettlebells because he had moved on to the 53 pounders. I thanked him for his generosity. Later, I thanked him for the pain. ("Thank you, sir, may I have another!")

I'm just doing the same stuff my daughter is and now I know why I don't have to "suffer the indignity of diet and aerobics." After just one week, 5 sessions, I can feel my core firming up. My hamstrings were on fire for three days, but they've settled into the hard life.

If you think you're too much of a man to do a workout made for women, then think again, tough guy. These exercises, and the variety is great, don't separate the boys from the girls; they separate the mortals from the mutants!
Peter Stroth - Oak Park, IL USA

This DVD not only has workout routines for you but they are also divided up into the different target areas so you can decide which body part you'd like to work on for the day. I'm so glad my husband told me about this new DVD. This will be great for getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Thank you, Andrea, for all the routines wrapped up in ONE DVD!
Angela - West Richland, WA

A easy to follow program.
Xiaoling Li - Other Australia

The video, and techniques and descriptions, cueing are excellent, I'm glad it was recommended to me and that I bought it.

I did not like the fact that It required that I install Interactual software to run the video. Since it did not install on all computers, I can only use the video in one place and not the place I need to use it. As if I don't have enough media software....
Kathleen - Columbia SC

I am new to using kettlebells. I absolutely love this workout. I've always been into fitness and love to workout. I've never gotten the definition that I've wanted. I pretty sure that with the Goddess workout and kettlebells I will.

Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to The Kettlebell Goddess Workout. I want to order The Kettlebell Goddess Workout NOW and understand that I am ordering with ZERO RISK because The Kettlebell Goddess Workout comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for one full year!

I love the different work outs and the ability to make up my own routine! I love the instructor ability to teach and give direction. She keeps to the point and keeps you working out without excessive chit chat or jokes.

The only improvement I would recommend is some notation in the menu about how long each goddess routine takes so I could better work out in a known time frame.


Celtic Lass - Sacramento Ca

The workouts on this DVD are awesome. They are designed so that you feel like "that was not easy, but not too difficult". Then you wake up the next morning and your body tells you that you worked it much more than you thought. I love that.

My only critique is that I wish there was some sort of music on the DVD during the sets.
Anne Guy - Crofton, MD

This is a very good instructional DVD, however, if you are working with it there is no dialog to let you know when to change hands, etc. So, you have to be watching the screen pretty much the entire time.

The DVD definitely is a WORKOUT!
Redhead - California

I absolutely LOVE this DVD. I really like how interactive it is, you can pick your workout or mix and match smaller portions to make a whole. I've got my husband doing it with me I just haven't told him the name of the DVD! I like the "real people" doing the workouts, not models, which for me is always a real downer. I like the variety of workouts as well as the variety of different exercises, some I had not done before. I swear I can see a difference already, after two weeks. I love to KB, but I have a hard time thinking what to do, how much, etc. This makes it fun, and is something to work for, I can't quite keep up on everything, YET. Andrea, what size KB is that, anyway?
Brenda Sparks - Monroeville, Oh

This is the best dvd that there is. I recieved it about 2 weeks ago and I have been doing it everyday. They really can kick your butt with this dvd. It's a MUST HAVE.

I learned about KB's through a local trainer and own two 18-lb bells and a 26-lb bell. I was starting to feel "antsy" and anxious to try some new things. A friend told me to return to the source --- Dragon Door --- and check out this DVD. I HATE exercise videos but did it anyway because it had to do with KB's. Wow!!! I did the Artemis workout right off and was really surprised how much new stuff I learned in 30 minutes. I told myself that it was ok that I couldn't do 3 sets of an exercise; I'd have plenty of time to practice in the months ahead! Also, I had to do some modifications so I could participate, such as using the Swiss Ball with the Russian Twists -- NO ONE, no matter what your level, should be left out of the KB rage! Very pleased to see Andrea's bonus drills and workouts so that I can put together my own programs. I use a purchased computer application to manage my workouts and can easily grab one instead of re-inventing the wheel. My success has to do with my own creativity, and Andrea and group have encouraged me to go for it. My workouts have moved up a couple of notches. A million thanks! More, please!
DEBORAH F - DENVER, Colorado United States

I can do Andrea Du Cane's workout or make my own from her list! And her list is organized and well thought out. 10 minutes or an hour. Change it up whenever I want without wasting time. I've never seen anything like it! I don't wait 5 minutes in between exercises for an explaination. All angles of the exercise are shown. The best part is the workout itself. After 2 weeks of kettlebell I can do other exercise tapes easily. One exercise I had a major problem with was called the "pelvic scoop". I could do about 5 before I had to stop (did the tape for 2 months every other day). Right after the 7th kettlebell workout I tried the pelvic scoop again - did 30 and could have done more. You know how great that felt??!!! And I had no idea that I could get that much stronger in such a short time. My body feels more firm. My back hasn't hurt the last 5 days - at all. I'm 52 and have 6 kids - my back hurt all the time.
Time flew by the first time I did the workout. An hour had gone by and I could have sworn it was just 20 minutes! My other tapes I would be looking at the clock constantly.
With the kettlebell workout I feel the exercises deep inside - not just right underneath the skin. Something I never experienced before and I have worked out with weights on and off for 20 years. I felt that for the first time I'm finally working out the right way. They DO make you stonger, they DO give you that energy kick and they DO melt the fat.
Combined 1 inch and 3 1/2 lbs lost in 2 weeks. Never did that with the other tapes!
Thanks for the prompt attention to my order. I received the tape 2 days after ordering.
Take care
Therese R - Poolesville, MD USA

I am new to kettlebells, but certified in Pilates, so after reading about KB techniques I decided on this DVD. Andrea recommends in the introduction that newbies become familiar with "From Russia with Tough Love" first. With this in mind, her basic form review is brief and doesn't provide a full breakdown of each exercise (it's a good basic overview, though), and within the workouts, there is minimal cueing--and by minimal, I mean that after naming the exercise, she often is silent for the rest of the set. Andrea's breathing is audible and that helps. I felt OK with this level of instruction, combined with written instructions from elsewhere, and common sense, and I think I'm getting good form.

The "goddess" gimmick is nicely done, with a simple but attractive set featuring columns and curtains, and the two supporting athletes demonstrate good variations. I find myself watching Kristann Heinz for her excellent form and control.

The structure of the DVD, with minimal cueing, lends itself to both mix-and-matching the exercises and adding in--it's really easy to do a set of swings before or between sets of other moves and build up a longer workout or increase the cardiovascular challenge of a strength-based workourt. Finally, Dr Heinz's segment on safety and pregnancy, while not the most fascinating to watch, gives good information for women wanting to explore KB training through pregnancy.

Some more variation in warm-ups (there's only one) or some more challenging combinations of drills would have improved the workouts for me. For example, putting a few swings between sets of squats or military presses.

I expect this DVD to give me many years of challenging, fun KB workouts.
Beth - New Zealand

This is an excellent workout! It is very challenging and unless you have done some lifting, I suggest you start real slow.
The strengths of the DVD are the variety of workouts, and the no nosense approach. The major weakness is instruction on how to do each move.
I think she should have a section where she not only illustrates the move, but takes the time to practice it with you. Some of the complex moves that are introduced during the workouts have caused me to stop the video just to practice.
Another thing that should be discussed is how heavy a kettlebell you should use.
My wife had these little 10 lb kettlebells that she got from GNC, and they worked well when she was just starting. Now we are waiting for her 18 pounders to come in.
Overall this is an excellent DVD, and will challenge us for many many months.
Graybeard - Cincinnati

I really like this DVD. Andrea does a good job explaining the exercises and there are various workouts. This is designed for women but make no mistake..it's a butt kicking workout for men too!

I purchased the Femme Fatal dvd over a year ago. I found it to be informative, however it lacked a structured workout I then purchased a kettlebell workout dvd. I like it, but it seemed to be lacking something. I purchased this and have been using for a little over a week and WOW! I love the mix and match format. I am already seeing results. I would HIGHLY recommend this to someone who needs direction when doing a workout. I love being able to choose if I want to do a Goddess workout - which are KICK BUTT. Thank you to Andrea for this GREAT WORKOUT!!!
Cathy Sands - Newark, OH, USA

By showing three women doing the workout/routines at the same time, you will better understand proper form and ways to "modify" the workout depending on your fitness & experience level.
I prefer a "time bar" to sets/counting reps as is done on this DVD. "Counting" interrupts the flow of the sequence.
There's one instance in the full body section where the second set was omitted.
Lack of a music track could be worked around but I did miss having one. I think this DVD is a good "intro" because the verbal descriptions are concise and the photography shows good form, but it drags a bit.
Elizabeth - Faribault, MN USA

I purchased a Kettlebell last year and only knew a few exercises. As a fitness professional teaching group choreographed aeorbics for 23 years I am excited to recieve this addition to my home workout!! It is like having my own personal professional Kettlebell trainer in my living room!! I love it.

CJ - Forestville, CA USA

This DVD is awesome. I like the way it's arranged into 6 sections. One can pick which workout to choose. It really complements my training with John Rock my Certified Personal Trainer and RKC instructor at Lifetime Fitness St. Louis Park. (Phone 952-546-5474 ext. 150307). We've recently been working on the Pistol-something I never thought I could do. The DVD helps with the technique. The constant variety of the workouts will keep it from ever getting old and boring meeting my changing needs. The bonus section will help keep things fresh.
judith hansen - minneapolis, Minnesota United States

I have been swinging the bell since January, love it and am amazed at the results. Results gets me "hooked". I have a certified instructor I work under twice a week. I wanted to workout more often so would pick up the KB during the week but would swing for only ten minutes or so. I would do my favorite and easiest swings. This video gives me such a variety of workouts, has a few swings I have not seen or done and I now do some tough stuff I otherwise would pass on when I am working out alone. What a great compliment to my classes as a fill-in during the week.

Men! Don't let the "Goddess" title keep you from getting this DVD. The workouts are demanding and complete. You may follow each workout as demonstrated for some great training. The real bonus for me was the build your own workout section at the end. Any "God" can reap tremendous benetits from the Goddess workout.
Steve Gould, RKC - Morton, IL

I am fairly new to KB training and own the "Tough Love" DVD. I was looking for some structure in my KB training when I came across this find. I am not one to 'wing it'. It is like Andrea read my mind. I have only done a few of the available 'Goddess Workouts' on the DVD and am very impressed. It was obvious that she really tried hard to accomodate so many aspects of KB training! I also appreciate the low cost associated with this excellent DVD. I am sure I could add more as I become more acclimated to this DVD, but was excited to share what I have experienced so far! If you enjoy working with KB's and are looking for some structured, short, workout routines I would highly recommend this DVD. Thanks, Andrea for taking the time and energy to put this together.
Diane - Belleville, MI USA

I'm glad you sent me this request for a review because I had been thinking about sending you one anyway. I think this video is GREAT because you can move to anything you want to right away, and Andrea does a FINE job explaining and demonstrating the exercises. The fact that they are broken up into upper and lower body and cardio workouts is wonderful. I use the video everyday and I thank you for offering it. I think you're right to let people choose their own or no music. Also, it is a great buy, for $29.95 you get 2 1/2 hours!
Anne Clare - Kansas City MO

This is definitely the best work-along kettlebell DVD I own (and I have several). The pre-programmed workouts are excellent. Most instructors would have stopped there, but not Andrea. The A/B/C programs and the ability to select individual drills within those programs make the DVD even more versatile and more valuable. But she didn't stop there, either--the bonus drills are the icing on the kettlebell cake. In addition, two or three options for performing many of the drills are shown. The instruction and form pointers are outstanding throughout. I'll be using this DVD for a long time, and I'll be using the workout design principles and suggestions in the accompanying PDF to make my other work-along DVDs more effective and more enjoyable.
Martha E. - Tennessee

Good video - good to see the different options for the exercises. I will be starting a KB class soon, so this is a good resource for ideas.

This is a great DVD. I have been getting nothing but positive feedback from my clients. I tried a few of them myself and trust me guys, this DVD is not just for the Goddess' but the Gods' can also get worked on these programs as well. The different combinations and ways Andrea shows you how to come up with your own personal routine makes this a must for anyone who wants to get in shape.
Lance Mosley, RKC, CSCS - Palm Beach County, FL

Very informative. I like the flexibility of the workouts. I've been missing the stretching after working out with kettlebells and this got me back on track with that. Great for men or women. The only thing I would have added would be music.

marilyn eckelman - boston,ma

Excellent quality, very clear demonstrations, good decore, very useful for personal use or working with clients.

I enjoyed it very much.

Thank you
Mariam Scudamore - Englad, London

This DVD is brilliant! I love the way it is structured to either follow along with the goddess workouts or to create your own. The instruction is great and the workouts are awesome. I can never see myself getting sick of this DVD with all the variety!
I'm newly addicted to kettlebells; I have only been working out with them for a few months now and I think this DVD is excellent for beginners. I'd recommend it to both beginners and advanced kettlebellers alike. If you are looking for a serious workout DVD, this is definitely worth it! I love it! I can't thank Andrea enough!!

WOW!! I purchased this DVD at the RKC in October and I am in LOVE!! I will recommend this DVD to EVERYONE!! This has to be the most kick-butt workout I've tried. My clients will love it! I love the structure of being able to design my own workout with the formulas provided, or just follow along with the workouts already created for us. Andrea - You are awesome! Thanks so much for this DVD! I feel like I'm back at the RKC. (well...almost!)
Rae Chitwood, RKC - Mansfield, OH USA

I am so excited about this DVD! I have been training with KB's for three years now off and on, and I have to admit that my motivation has been running low in the past year, and this is just what i needed! Someone to push me, something simple, something sturctured. I have been waiting for a DVD like this for a looong time and now it is finally here! What I like best with it is how it is laid out. It is a complete foolproof way to get your butt kicked a different way each and every day! I love it. And the PDF that came with the DVD shows different ways to schedule your workout or combine different excercises and it gives me absolutely no excuse not to swing that bell! Andrea, great job!
Ulrika - Detroit, MI USA

Andrea Du Cane provides some tough workouts on The Kettlebell Goddess DVD. This DVD is not for beginners, but it is a great way for someone familiar with basic kettlebell exercises to get a great challenging workout. Each of the goddess workouts are great no-frills, no-nonsense, kick-butt exercise routines. I really enjoy the relax into stretch segment at the end of each workout.

By the way, this DVD is not just for women! My boyfriend loves it as much as I do (though he did complain about not being able to keep up with women wearing pink shirts).
Mary - Saratoga, CA USA

I recieved the DVD a couple of days ago.If I could I would give this DVD a 20 instead of a 10.Most DVD's only give you a stripped down verzion of a workout. This marvelous DVD gives you not only 1 workout,like most DVD's.It gives you An infinite amount of them,and they include a warm-up portion and a cool-down routine that is out of this world.These workouts will work you out even if you use a light kettlebell.The instructions are clear cut,and concise for all to understand.Guys will love this DVD as well.
Karen R. Queen - Tampa, Florida United States

I placed an order for Andrea's DVD when I was in St. Paul for the September RKC. Receiving it in the mail 2 days ago, I popped it into my computer for a mini sample workout before work and have to say that in one quick "Goddess" segment I was smoked and stoked! From the picture quality, angles at which each exercise can be viewed, as well as the concept and content packed into this user-friendly DVD, it triples as a work-along workout, a reference on proper form, as well as a workout structure guide. While I am an RKC and not a new kettlebeller, along with all other kb practictioners I'm sure, I am and should always be constantly working to refine my form. Andrea's clarity (along w/that of Kristann's and Nicole's) in explaining and displaying each exercise is worth the price of the DVD alone. One of my trouble exercises is the simple yet complex clean. Just by viewing the "quick start review" feature of the DVD, I already feel like I have a better understanding of this exercise that plagues me and things are really starting to click! it is the subtleties in form after all that makes all the difference at the end of the day as we practice this skill called strength. One complaint that I often have with predominantly female-tailored exercise guides is that they often assume its audience is beginner level; "Goddess" is for all-users (men included) and I'd even veer to say that its workouts are quite advanced, although they can be paced to any fitness level, as the 3 ladies each show a different variation on each exercise. I could go on and on but I hope you'll all be the judge and do yourselves a favor to grab a copy of your own. Great job Andrea and I look forward to working with you again!
