Paul Katami Burn & Build DVD

I have worked out consistently for 33 years, I run, compete in triathlons and bike races. I love to cross train to lesson potential for injuries, so I consider myself at an advanced level. I love this workout. Its challenging, and Katami explains the workouts clearly and his cues are easy to follow. you will not regret ordering this. You can make it easier with no to light weights or make it harder by using heavier weights.

I''m an advanced exerciser, or I thought I was. I like Cathe, Michelle Dozois, Amy Bento, Ilaria, Anthony Diluglio, to name a few. I have several of Paul''s DVDs among them his newest kettlebell DVDs which are excellent. This one is a bootcamp style super-challenging workout. Using a kettlebell and high step is an extra perk for me because I love both. This really kicked my butt, but what makes this doable is Paul''s excellent cueing and calm friendliness. For me, a yelling, condescending instructor who doesn''t do the workout him or herself is a real turn-off. No worries here. Paul rocks! Also, the bonus ab section is fantastic.

Be prepared for a long workout. It is over 1 hour and ten minutes.

This challenging and intense workout is a mix of aerobic movements, coupled with weight work. For weights, you need a single moderate (between light and medium) kettlebell or dumbbell. I used a kettlebell, and for certain moves, (clean and press type moves), I used a dumbbell.

If you want to make it easier, don''t use the high step platform; it''s easy to adapt the movements. I also made the workout easier by doing simpler versions of moves that were too complicated or strenuous, so the workout is doable. In addition, Paul Katami gives a few seconds break between each exercise group, so there''s time to breathe and recover. Moreover, one woman demonstrates easier dumbbell moves, while Paul Katami works with one man and one woman showing the kettlebell moves on the high step.

Mr. Katami explains clearly with excellent cueing.

This workout was tough in a great way. My background is running, doing Cathe and P90X and IMO this was harder. Yet somehow it was really fun and the time flew by. I started with kettlebells off and on a few years ago but got more serious recently. The step added a whole new dimension. Paul Katami is very likable and gives helpful pointers the whole way throughout. I can see this video could be modified for an intermediate ( lighter kettlebell, lower step), but definitely not for beginners. I know this is going to be one I keep going back to and look forward to all Mr. Katami''s kettlebell workouts. I do have his Kettlebell Drills and his Kombos DVDs and also highly recommend them. This DVD is an Advanced Gem!!!!

Paul Katami does an excellent job of instruction along with demos on proper form(which is crucial)thoughout the DVD. I have used high step and kettlebells in various workouts for the past two years, but never together....HOLY MOLY did it kick my butt! This is definitely an advanced workout and there is a woman doing modifications, but the mods are for intermediates, not beginners. I agree with another reviewer, Paul''s calm voice makes the intense workout go by easily. I had no desire to yell or curse back at the TV like I do with other instructors. I can''t say enough positive comments, just be warned...it will leave you weak in the knees and in a pool of sweat.
