I like this DVD because you can customize your own workouts. Be prepared, this is tough and I am only using a ten pound kettlebell! I have not have the nerve to try any of the complete workouts. I usually do a session of abs, arms, and legs..that is plenty! If I can ever get myself to progress to the longer sessions (and I am hoping to do that this winter), I know I will see a difference! This is the only DVD that I have found with the short workouts that you can combine into a customized one for yourself. For that alone, I recommend this DVD! My only complaint is that there is not enough explanation (or even counting) during the workouts. I could use the help because three people are doing the exercises in slightly different ways. In addition, I like to know that how many reps I have done, so that I will not give up!

I am very pleased with this product. As a beginner kettlebell user, I find the instructions easy to follow and the workouts can be varied to suit my strength. There are lots of workouts to choose from. I was a bit afraid that it would be too challenging, and it definitely is very challenging, but I prefer a workout dvd to be a bit too challenging rather than not enough. That way I have something to strive for, but can also take breaks if needed. Highly recommend it.

I found this to be a good strength workout. Unfortunately for me my DVD appears to be warped and Amazon.com is unable to replace it. Very disappointing.

I'm new to the kettlebell craze but not to weight training. I purchased Kettlenetics after seeing an infomercial and loved the workout and results. The Goddess workout is only the second kettlebell routine I've tried. It is a different type of workout than Kettlenetics and therefore I have added it to my weekly routine. I feel sore in the right places the day after I use it.
There are several full workouts on the DVD as well as the option to create your own. They use heavy weights. I only use an 8 pound bell but am getting great results. (I tried the routines with my 4 pound bell but didn't feel it was much of a challenge.) Each workout runs about 30 minutes. It doesn't seem like much time but the routines are intense. You cover a lot of ground in this short time. The prompting is good.
It is worth the price.

I just completed my very first Kettlebell Goddess workout (Odyne -- the Goddess of Pain -- yeah, I'm a masochist) and loved it!
The DVD design is intelligent & user friendly. It's setup as interactive menus which allow freedom of choice. You can choose from the Goddess workouts (which either focus on cardio or strength) or a build-your-own workout by combining different exercises and Goddess workouts. There's even a pdf file that contains examples for your weekly exercise routines which allow you to chose between cardio & strength.
The Goddess workouts are a complete workout which include a warm-up and a cool down/stretch. The build-your-own workouts include elements from all of the workouts, plus there are additional exercises.
Granted, you have to buy the kettlebells, but this is still a great price for the volume of exercises available. Kettlebells are pretty reasonable until you get up to the really heavy ones. I'm starting with a 4 kg/9 lb kettlebell I got at a local sporting goods shop for $20. It's the traditional grey iron Russian version, not the colorful, vinyl coated American version.
The instruction is easy to follow, and the exercises are demonstrated well. I just hate when they pan to the pretty smiling model's face and I can't see what she's actually DOING, which is the whole point of the darned thing! That doesn't really happen with this video. One of the things that seperates this from the pack of most workout DVDs is that all three are Kettlebell instructors. One is even a medical doctor. They aren't model/actresses who answered a casting call ad and know little to nothing about the exercises.
Another feature which seperates this DVD from the pack is NO CHEESY MUSIC! Andrea has omitted the usual, generic workout music in favor of simple instruction. Much of the time, there is no speaking either, just breathing. She says once you get the hang of the exercises, feel free to play your own music. I went ahead and played mine and was able to hear her and the music. So much better than that Goddess awful synthesizer music commonly found in workout videos (pardon the pun)! =P
