The 12kg Classic Female Intermediate Pack is designed for women who have a good base of strength training under their belt, with either kettlebells or traditional weight training, and are ready for a challenge.  This is definitely not a pack for those just starting out with weight training.

Why Get an Intermediate Pack?

As mentioned above, this pack is ideal for women who have a background in weight training and are looking for a challenge with kettlebell training.  This includes women who may have spent some time using an 8kg or 10kg kettlebell.  The pack includes the 12kg kettlebell and an instructional DVD to get you going.

Unlike a lot of other home gym equipment, the kettlebell is not a fad - it has been around for decades and is used by everyone from celebrities through to elite athletes and the military (you won't see the latter using one of those silly ab machines!).

The kettlebell gives you a full body workout and can provide both cardio and resistance training so it's all you need - I personally only train with kettlebells because they get the job done without any fuss and in a short space of time.

What's on the DVD?

We found that there was a serious lack of quality kettlebell instructional DVDs out there for women so we made one that has very clear instruction on the technique for several key kettlebell exercises and even gives you common mistakes and corrections to ensure you're training safely.

The DVD takes you step by step through each exercise, it's second only to having a kettlebell instructor in your home, and then shows you some great workouts you can do using those exercises.

Instruction is essential for kettlebell training, it's not a tool you can just pick up and use instinctively, so the DVD is a must for those who are new to kettlebell training.  Even people who have been training with kettlebells for a while often need their form corrected (due to a lack of good information on kettlebell training in Australia) so this DVD is going to be useful for anyone wanting to train safely and effectively.

What Sort of Women Can do Kettlebell Training?

Any woman who can do weight training can do kettlebell training! That means kettlebell training is perfect for most women - you certainly don't need to be an athlete or to have done weight training before to do kettlebell training,

You should always check with your doctor before beginning a new weight training program, partiularly if you have any health issues or injuries.

Why is Kettlebell Training Good for Women?

There are countless reasons but here are some good ones:

  • Kettlebells are quick and effective because you can combine cardio and resistance training, excellent for those who are time poor.
  • Kettlebells will not make you bulky, they will tone without adding unfeminine muscle.
  • Kettlebells are great for targeting the muscles that give you good posture - you will feel better and carry yourself better.
  • All women should do some sort of resistance training to maintain muscle mass (important for a healthy metabolism) and prevent osteoporosis - kettlebells are perfect for this.
  • Kettlebells also train mobility and flexibility.

So there are just a few reasons to get started with your kettlebell training ASAP.
