Kettlebell Bootcamp
Angie Miller’s Kettlebell Bootcamp is yet another great supplement to Kettlenetics. This workout is approximately an hour long with chapters, which is nice if you’re pressed for time, or you would rather focus on a specific area. Angie does a really good job of cueing, and is constantly reminding you to keep your form. I would have liked to see more angles from the camera, since positioning is SO important when you’re literally swinging weights around. This workout definitely has a cardio element, and I was able to do the entire workout using my 8lb kbell. This workout is TOUGH, but in a good way. Angie has the workouts segmented into 6 sections, at approximately 10 minutes a session. This allows for a little bit of a rest between workouts. I also liked that each section focused on a different area of the body, or way to use the kettlebell. She also makes you do FULL Russian Get-Ups. OUCH. But a good ouch. I really enjoyed this workout, it seemed a little more traditional than Kettlenetics or Gin Miller, and there was absolutely NO dancing. This is a workout that I would do on weekends when I have more time to lay around feeling sorry for my poor muscles. I was quite exhausted after finishing all the segments (in a good way). I will eventually build up the courage to actually attempt this one during the week…I’m just waiting for the Saturday when I don’t get super out of breath during the swings!
This workout is a great addition if you have kettlebells already or are just starting out. I started out with an 8lb kbell, and it was plenty heavy. Considering that I normally swing around my 4lb kbell for Kettlenetics, I was VERY proud of myself!
