Kettlebell Burn 2.0 promises to help you get more use out of your kettlebells, and will show you how you can use them to get the fitness levels you want. Kettlebells are really an emerging product, so it’s hard to know which guru to go with, since no one has really made a name for themselves as the master of all things kettlebell. But Geoff Neupert is giving it a shot, and says he’s cracked the code on these rather ugly weights.
Overview
If you’ve recently purchased a set of cannonballs with handles, a.k.a. kettlebells, you probably did a few kettlebell swings and some snatches and said nuts to this. They are not a whole lot of fun if you don’t know how to use them properly, and you can easily get discouraged because you don’t know what to do with them or how they can fit into a full exercise routine. There aren’t even too many personal trainers out there that have enough direct experience with kettlebells to instruct you on proper form.
The Claim
Kettlebell Burn 2.0 claims that it has five different strategies that basically guarantee that you’ll get the most fat loss possible from using kettlebells. The major theory they’re working with is that most people that try to use kettle bells don’t have any sort of strategy lined up, they just start picking them up and doing random exercises they find online, or on a DVD program.
The strategies they use incorporate a few different philosophies. The first is that you should lift heavy weights. This has long been known in the weightlifting world to get larger sized muscles, without having to lift the weights as many times. They also focus on lifting explosively. This makes sense, and when you combine the heaviness with the explosiveness you should see impressive gains quickly.
They also say that you need to eliminate the weak links, which means if you have a part of your body that doesn’t function as well as the others, you should be doing some form of exercise to correct the issue. They also say that you need to manage the fatigue that occurs when you lift heavy weights in an explosive manner. And lastly they say that you need to boost up your metabolism so that you can burn the fat, and reveal the muscle underneath.
The Hype
Kettlebells are all the rage lately, and it’s not really clear how it all started. They’ve been around for ages, and many weightlifters are very similar with them. It’s only now that they are coming into the mainstream, whether it be from getting a mention in the book The Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss, or just that the fitness industry needed something new to promote.
The Cost
Kettlebell Burn 2.0 is $67 and is sold through ClickBank so you’re going to get a full 60 days to try it out before you have to decide whether you want to keep it or not. Plus, if you try to close the window, they will tempt you with an offer to try before you buy it. This entails just paying $4.95 to download it, and then taking a full 30 days to decide whether you want to pay the remaining balance. No matter which way you go you still get the 60 day money back guarantee.
The Commitment
Kettlebell workouts are killer. Don’t be surprised if it pushes you to limits you haven’t been to before. This is because it not only gets your heart rate up, but also gets your muscles going, so it’s a combination of a cardio routine plus weightlifting. You need to be aware that this is going to be tough, but the plus side is that you should see results quickly, so your motivation can stay up.
Evaluation
Kettlebell Burn 2.0 is a pretty comprehensive system with five different modules, all targeting different areas of fitness. We like that they drive home the point that this is not going to be easy, and the results won’t come overnight, but that you only have to put in a focused 2 and a half hours a week in order to get the results you want.
Nutrition Matters
While you’re using these weights you should also be minding your food intake, and their is even a module on what sort of nutritional foods and supplements you should be taking to get the most bang for your buck. Some people think that they Can just eat whatever they want when they’re working out intensively, but this is counterproductive, and you’ll get the best results when you can get your eating under control, and keep your activity level high.
Final Kettlebell Burn 2.0 Review
Kettlebell Burn 2.0 is getting a solid Try review from us. There aren’t too many proven kettlebell programs out there, and this could be one of them. Since it’s a relatively new product for most people, a lot of training needs to be done a lot of education needs to take place on how to use them properly, and how to incorporate them in an overall program of physical fitness and general well-being.
Our Recommendation
If you’ve got a kettlebell or a full set of them, this is worth trying out. It will surely save you from wasting time with your weights, and at the very least should give you a plan of action on how to use them. Most of the time, we recommend going with products that give you sufficient time to evaluate whether they work or not. Especially when it comes to fitness, because often 30 days is not enough time to see if it works or not. In this case you get a full two months, which is plenty of time to know whether or not the product is worth keeping.
This is a great programme, and like Shaun T’s Insanity, you get a full refund if you don’t like it, even after 60 days! I really like that approach, as it shows real confidence on behalf of the makers in the effectiveness of their product. In return that gives me confidence in it. I’ve tried this programme and I knew in the first work out that I wouldn’t be sending it back. They push you really hard and they give you a pretty good food plan which is essential for achieving the ripped look you see on the front cover. This isn’t for the faint hearted however! These workouts are brutal, and that is really the only way to get the results they advertise in the kind of time scales they talk about. Definitely recommended.
There’s definitely something to kettlebells as it seems. Every celebrity trainer seem to be using it and they’re coming out with training dvds for this thing left and right. I feel comfortable working out with dumbbells and barbells, but I may add the kettlebell to my workout if it turns out that it gives me a good workout.
