This workout is from a female's perspective: Anthony's Art of Strength workouts are by far the best kettlebell workouts on the market to date. The production, music, and format of his workouts are all excellent. The music options, practice chapter, and out takes, add to the quality of these DVDs. I have all three of Anthony's workouts, and all of them have blown me away. I'll break them down from the easiest to the hardest.
Easiest-AOS Providence. For me personally, this is the near perfect workout. I'm so glad that I did this workout first, because I fell in love with Anthony's training style.
AOS Firepower-I find this workout to be between Providence and Newport. This workout does require two kettlebells during some of the exercises, so if you don't have pairs, this might not be doable for you.
AOS Newport-The first time I did this workout I was shocked at how hard this workout is. I work out at home, and I have a VAST collection of workouts. This is by far the most difficult workout in my collection. I'm just happy that this wasn't my first workout by Anthony. If it had been, I never would have done another workout, which would have been a shame, because I'm telling all of you, the AOS workouts are the best.
Breakdown of Firepower: All of Anthony's workouts are done in circuits. What makes this workout much different from the other two is that Anthony adds an exercise to each circuit.
warm up-Fantastic warm up
circuit 1-one exercise
circuit 2-2 exercises
circuit 3-3 exercises
circuit 4-4 exercises
circuit 5-5 exercises
bonus circuit
5 minute snatch test
The only negative that I could find with this DVD is that you can not skip chapters. For some reason this DVD will not let you do this.
Kettlebell DVDs are extremely expensive, and I have a few that are not worth their price tag. The AOS DVDs are worth every single penny!
