Okay, let's face it, almost every single week there is a new program or a new exercise machine coming out. But how do you know which ones work, and which ones are just a bunch of fluff? Well one thing you can do is go online and read a few reviews from people, before you decide to buy that new ab blaster or that new elliptical. One of the newest programs I have heard about recently is called Kettlenetics. So what is Kettlenetics and how can it benefit you? Simply put Kettlenetics integrates a little dumb bell sort of weight called a kBell. When you swing the kBell you are using almost every single muscle in your body which allows for resistance training and high speed cardio.



Sounds too easy right? Well yes and no. Most of us that have done resistance training, know that when you resist against something, you are using muscles in doing so. And with the kBell this is exactly what you are doing. Not only are you using your muscles but you also get an aerobic work out which helps to burn fat and calories, which is what we want! The main program of this work out is called Slim&Tone and it includes everything you need to lose weight and get fit. Here are a few of the products included:

4lb kBell - This is the item that uses resistance or as they call it "FlowMotion." This bell allows you to make movements quickly, without having to lift a heavy weight.

KB Elements - This is the 20 minute DVD that comes with the program. It includes seven signature moves for total body conditioning as well as ways to protect your body against injury. This DVD also includes a three-dimensional FlowMotion work out, which will transform your entire body.

Flow Motion Basics - This 20 minute workout gives you a 360 degree body sculpting with unique standing in floor exercises

Cardio Balance - This 40 minute fat burner takes your kBell to the next level and teaches you how to burn fat with it

KB Target Toning - This is a five-part work out for a total body work out including, upper body, lower body, core and stability

Strength & Serenity - This DVD allows you to develop core strength, flexibility, grace and posture.

It also includes other things as well such as wrist bands, guide book, wall chart, VIP access, Web Club, Guide To Healthy Eating

I like this program mainly because it's not just one of those "exercise and you will lose weight" deals. They actually touch base on the eating healthy and eating right topics as well. As a person that is into healthy eating I know that both exercise and eating right goes hand in hand. You can't expect to lose weight with just eating right and you can't expect to lose weight just with exercise. There has to be a healthy balance between the two! If you would like to check this program out please look online. Personally I consider the Kettlenetics program a good idea for women. However, for men, not so much. Men are usually bulkier in size than women and they also have different muscles, sizes of muscles, etc. So, listed below I will include a few reviews of programs that are good for men to take a look at (some of these can also be used for women as well):

Tony Horton P90X - $119

P90X is a revolutionary system of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days.

The Power Within workouts give you a one-on-one connection with Billy the mentor and motivator as he teaches you how to regain control of your body, your mind and your life.

Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat - $60

This fat burning system was designed by a bodybuilder, but it's not just for bodybuilders. In fact, 90% of the 600+ coaching protege's and thousands of customers are "regular people": teachers, students, parents, business owners, musicians, accountants, financial planners and lawyers. They're busy people with social lives, careers and families. You don't have to live in the gym all day to get fantastic results with this system.

Whatever program you choose, I hope it works out for you, and you lose the weight you want and become much healthier in the process. Remember there is no miracle pill, or miracle program. This all takes time, determination and most of all patience! Good luck!
