Interesting and useful bunch of workouts. There were an upper body and separate lower body workout for strength/mass involving moderate repetitions with significant weight. There were several cardio/circuit workouts and another group of workouts focused on "core" but all the workouts tend to overlap in function (the beauty of kettlebells). I was a little bit perturbed by the lack of direction in how often to do the various workouts in relation to one another. I attempted to contact Steve Cotter's website through their "contact form" but as of yet have received no reply. The workout combinations were useful and the instruction on the exercises was reasonably good. Steve Cotter looks a lot better than many kettle bell instructors and presents as rather "beastly" rather than appearing just aerobically fit. I guess I don't really know if he got that way from just doing kettlebells as he does sell DVDs on other forms of exercise. Considering the cost of other training programs this seems to be a pretty good deal. The instruction is certainly better than on several other kettlebell workout programs I have viewed/done. Again I was a bit disappointed about the lack of workout "mapping" and the lack of response in one workweek from Steve's website.
UPDATE: I didn't watch the lower body workout all the way through as it consists of 3 cycles of the same circuit. I just did the last run through of the circuit by memory. In the video , after the completion of the third time through, Steve says you can do each strength/mass workout twice in a week "on opposite days." Not sure if he wanted users to fill in 1-2 other days with the core or cardio light days or do 3 wks. "heavy" and do a light recovery wk. with the lighter circuits every 3rd wk. or so. I may have missed that by not listening to an epilogue or something. Still no reply from his web site.
