Ultimate Body Sculpt & Conditioning With Kettlebells DVD Review & Giveaway!

My love of kettlebells is certainly no secret. And my admiration of a certain kettlebell instructor isn't either. So the fact that the amazing, world renowned Lauren Brooks agreed to let me host a giveaway for her "Ultimate Body Sculpt & Conditioning With Kettlebells" DVD thrills me to pieces. I LOVE preaching about the benefits of incorporating kettlebells into anyone's exercise regime. I've had SO many people asking me about what type of exercise I did to get my abs back after 2 pregnancies in less than 2 years. And the answer is so simple... I did this exact DVD that one of my lucky readers is going to win!!

Honestly, kettlebells, and this DVD specifically, are the only form of exercise I do on a regular basis, and the only exercise I've done in my entire 26 years on Earth that I haven't hated. I mean, come on... if someone like me, a girl who hated all sports with a passion and would hook gym class every single day, can get fast and noticeable results, then there is absolutely no reason you can't, too!! Lauren's instructions are clear and simple, even for someone who has never laid eyes on a kettlebell in their life. The DVD includes an exercise demonstration section where Lauren goes through a step by step instruction of every single kettlebell and body weight exercise that you need to know to turn your body into a lean, fat burning machine! Some of the moves you will quickly learn to love are: 2 handed swing, alternating swing, high pull catch & squat, mountain climbers and many more.

This DVD comes with not one, but TWO fat burning workouts. If you're a busy mom like yours truly, then you will most definitely benefit from the 12 Minute Fat Blast workout. Hard to believe, but you can get an amazing, full body workout in 12 short minutes! Anyone can find 12 minutes in their day, no matter who you are. And don't let the short time frame fool you,-- this is a sweat inducing, heart pounding cardio workout that will leave you feeling completely accomplished. The 12 Minute Fat Blast is also an excellent way to ease yourself into using kettlebells, or any type of physical exercise in general since it is Low to Medium Intensity. Once you master the 12 Minute, you can repeat it back to back for double the fun and double the fat burning!

Also included is my personal favorite, the 40 Minute Sculpt and Conditioning Workout. If you can get through this workout just one time, you will be good to go after that. 40 minutes definitely sounds intimidating, I know. But the way this workout is designed, you get plenty of rest time. For every 2 minutes of intense exercise, you get a 1 minute break. This alternates throughout the entire 40 minutes. So no matter how tough it seems at any given moment, you can always keep in the back of your mind that it is ONLY 2 minutes and then you have a full minute to catch your breath, grab some water, and save up for the next round! Not only that, but the timer on the side of the screen shows you exactly how much time you have til your next rest. And if you're like me, your eyes will stay glued to that timer and you'll be so focused on that, that your body just goes into autopilot!
