Another Strength by Sara dvd review rolls in!

Last week while doing a search for Z-Health I came across the name of a coach who is an expert in both Z Health and Kettlebells. The coach is Sara Cheatham. I have never met Sara but when I reviewed her blog she appeared to be very knowledgeable in both Z-Health and Kettlebells.

I decided to purchase her dvd (Strength by Sara) and I can say with confidence that it is one of the best dvds I have purchased. I purchase a lot of dvds (some good and some very bad) and I will tell you what I liked about this dvd:

1. The quality of the video is very good. I like how you can fast forward and skip ahead from chapter to chapter. She does a very nice job of presenting the material.

2. I liked the introduction which covers Z-Health and joint mobility. Although the movements are very basic she does a very good job of explaining each movement and I would be willing to bet that everyone could benefit from this 10 minute warm-up. Although they are basic I am sure very few people actually do them.

3. Her cues for the Kettlebell instruction are excellent. She says A LOT by only saying very little (I think this is one of the keys to being a great coach)

4. Her progressions on the KB lifts are very good and she goes from basic to advanced in a way that they are easy to follow. She also performs every movement which I think is key when it comes to learning a new movement for the first time. Instead of just talking she actually shows how it is supposed to be done.

5. She offers a couple of quick workouts to get you going which are short but like anything they get you started and you can make them as easy or as hard as you want.

Overall, excellent dvd that I would highly recommend to any strength coach or sports performance coach.
