Stamina 36-Pound Adjustable Kettle Versa-Bell Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: Shaped (pretty much) like a traditional bell; weight changes are super quick and easy
Cons: A lot of plastic, slight rattling from the weight plates
New to kettlebell training, so I don't have a lot of experience to rate this against other types of bells.
The handle and top of the dome that you see in the picture is metal, the red part is a plastic dome that conceals the weight plates. It seems sturdy enough for its intended use (lifting, swinging, etc.), but I could imagine shattering the plastic pretty easily if I dropped it on a hard surface. The internals seem pretty solid though. Not perfectly round, it's slightly flattened on the sides parallel with the handle, but the top portion is round.
Weight changeover is amazingly quick, pull down a rubber bumper on the side, slide the pin out, put it back in the new hole, flip the bumper back up, and lift. Five seconds, tops, and foolproof. It has an internal weight stack, unused weights remain on the floor on an included mat.
My other first impression is that it is pretty big--think volleyball size. Doesn't bother me, but it's considerably bigger than the 35-pound solid bell at my gym. A typical 16-pound fitness bell would probably be a third of the size.

With the Stamina Adjustable Kettlebell, there is no need to have an entire set of kettlebells or to guess at which weight is right for you. One Stamina Adjustable Kettlebell replaces an entire set of conventional kettlebells at a fraction of the cost, and takes up very little storage space. The adjustable kettlebell is six kettlebells in one. A simple locking pin let's you choose 16 lbs., 20 lbs., 24 lbs., 28 lbs., 32 lbs., and 36 lbs.: that's six weights in 4 lb. increments.

The Isometric Total Body Workout DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 7 workouts included on this DVD are very good. They will definitely increase your body temperature if you put the effort into them that JB asks, however you won't come away sweaty like you've just had a hard workout at a gym. The only equipment required other than your own body is a chair, either for balance or for sitting in a few of the exercises (a couch works too), and something to lay/sit on for the stretching segment if that's what you prefer.
JB Berns is motivating and he reminds you to always keep your abs tight without beating you up about it. A reminder is good when you're concentrating on another area of the body.
Two things I would improve if this DVD were to be made again, however they don't detract from the overall workouts: 1) Have the intro segments as a separate menu section rather than as track one in each workout (which can be skipped past to get straight to the workout). This would be a change to make it like the Urban Rebounder dvds and the way they're setup. 2) During the intro show on either himself or an assistant exactly what area in the muscle you're working that you should feel the exercise in. That would be helpful to know if you're doing it correctly.
The 15 minute time for each workout is decieving, however I had forgotten that NO workout dvd ever includes the warm-up/cool-down portion in the time allotted. The back and stretching workouts really are 15 minutes including warm-up/cool-down. The other 5 are realistically from 20-25 minutes in length.
