[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-24 Summary: A simple kettlebell circuit interval workout ... Not a bad beginners Kettlebell Training DVD at all. She leads you through three interval circuits and mixes them up a little each time. For example, she starts adding more arm swings into the second circuit, etc. Each interval has relatively low repetitions, so for more advanced Kettlebell folks, I'd recommended using a higher weight. I use this DVD for my "recovery days" when I don't feel like taking a complete break from my weekly routine. Remember, this is an INTERVAL CIRCUIT workout. This means there are 30 second ...more

These gloves are very comfortable and soft still they provide the protection for calluses and grip necessary for lifting.

I lost one glove at the gym 2 weeks after buying them and I re-order the exact same pair. I ordered Large Size; I'm small framed but my hands are like med size. Large are just fine and the band is adjustable. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-05 Summary: Saranac b-grl Lifting Gloves ... I purchased lifting gloves on my doctor's recommendation after an injury to my thumb. I was looking for something to give my thumb a little extra support. After reading previous reviews on this item, I decided to order a size small (My hand would be a medium according to other sizing charts offered for women's lifting gloves). The gloves fit perfectly on my palm, but literally have extra folds of material around my fingers and thumb. Looks like I'm not going to get any extra help for my thumb, but the gloves are very ...more
