So I tired to click on your qvc link to see her horrible display of what she calls KB training….but the page is gone. BUT I FOUND SOMETHING EVEN BETTER!!! Check out this blog with Jillian’s KB workout from exercise TV. Seems she heard all the ridicule and SEMI fixed her form from the biggest loser spot…..BUT OH IT GETS BETTER…..then at minute 2:15 she states that she is next going to demonstrate “what she calls” (direct quote) a “swing thru”…….OBVIOUSLY a dangerous spin that she added to her swing…….putting crazy stress on the lumbar!!!!! Thank you for posting this blog….I hope the word gets out fast that she is NOT A CERTIFIED KETTLEBELL INSTRUCTOR and that she will potentially hurt a mass of people…….here is the link: http://www.blackandi.com/?p=1467 Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Honestly she is the reason I decided to give kettlebells a try because she talks about them so much and I needed a new and challenging workout. However, I have been an athlete most of my life and form above all is most important. I know from doing free weights in high school how easy it is to get hurt. Having no real experience with kettlebells, even I could tell how horrible her form was. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that "swing" is more a fling and does nothing beneficial fitness wise and will most likely lead to serious back problems. I made sure to check out legit websites for instructional dvd's and videos and also looked for a store that sold "real" kettlebells not the crap on tv or in walmart. I'm with a few others on here. I don't want to be negative and I actually do respect Jillian in many ways. I think she is very positive and motivation to many, particularly women, but also as others have stated, her form is bad news because she does have so many followers. I'll take her diet advice, but I'm sticking with you for the kettlebell instruction. Thank you so much for this video.
