With Master RKC, Andrea Du Cane
DVD 2 hours 50 minutes
Nothing ages us faster than the lack of regular, effective exercise. Muscles melt away, bones go brittle, posture stoops, skin sags, flab hangs—and joints creak. Pain, fear and fatigue become our constant companions.
The good news is that there is one form of exercise which can give you immeasurable health benefits, whatever your age. Regular, well-designed kettlebell workouts may not only reverse many symptoms of aging, but will actively contribute to building your strength and power well into your 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
Andrea Du Cane's Kettlebell Boomer presents a complete De-Aging Masterplan, that gives everyone from the raw novice to the experienced athlete an opportunity to defy physical decline and hone themselves—safely, simply and progressively—into the muscular, energetic, magnetic specimens they deserve to be.

The less you exercise, the faster you decline. However, not all exercise is created equal. Many forms of exercise may at best put you in a holding pattern, while other forms of exercise might even exacerbate your health issues.
The good news is that there is one form of exercise which can give you immeasurable health benefits, whatever your age.

Kettlebells are the only handheld weight that allows you to exercise aerobically, for cardio as well as anaerobically, for strength training. The kettlebell is the unique "gym in your hand" that can reward you with decades of high-yield health benefits.

Kettlebell Boomer provides everything you need to start training with kettlebells—with full instruction plus follow-along workouts. You will discover two main workouts, one with a strength focus and the other cardio. Watch four different people doing the workout, each representing a different level. Pick the right level for you and follow that person through the entire workout. Or you can switch between levels for different exercises.
Bonus sections cover warm-ups, joint mobility, balance and stability—to ensure your anti-aging kettlebell program covers all the essential elements for a long, active, safe and pain-free life. Enjoy!
"Why do so many people, once they reach some arbitrary age, relax into middle age and stop being men and women?
Youth is a choice. There are dull-eyed twenty some year olds ready for rocking chairs. And there are youths who have been getting their Social Security checks for some time. Years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Milton, an eighty year old gent with the fiery gaze of a young warrior. The first time he saw the deadlift, this man walked over to the bar and literally ripped 225 pounds off the ground. Assuming that a retired man would play golf I told him that this exercise would improve his game. Milton gave me a furious look. "Golf?! I don't play golf. It's for old people.'
With the right attitude and the training methods we have today, it is a shame not to be young. In the best tradition of Russian ballerinas, Andrea Du Cane keeps getting younger. She could be a boomer's daughter, but a boomer herself?—No way! Andrea has found the secret of never ending youth and a big part of it is the Russian kettlebell.
I keep hearing this story over and over from our RKC kettlebell instructors. Former athletes in their forties and fifties take up kettlebells, decide to give their old sport another go, and within months outperform their twenty-year old selves! Fifty-two year old David Zaharik, Canadian full contact karate champion in the 1980s, wrote in our magazine Hardstyle: "One of the amazing things about training with kettlebells is that after not training in my martial art for over two years, I have actually increased the speed of my strikes and the power and speed of my kicks! I go and grapple with my old buddies who train this stuff everyday and I hold my own very well. And I getting comments back like … man you are strong… oh, by the way, these guys are 20-25 years younger than me.'
If you choose to reclaim your youth, look no further than Kettlebell Boomer. Andrea Du Cane has been kettlebelling since the very first days of the Russian kettlebell invasion we started in 2001. The Kettlebell Goddess possesses a razor sharp mind and the kind of attention to detail that separates the high-end professionals from the also-rans. Which shall become obvious once you watch her DVD.
—Pavel Tsatsouline, author of Enter the Kettlebell!
Have you ever wondered how to overcome your physical limitations (or your clients) to optimize your performance and get real results from your kettlebell workouts?
When I owned my gym, 90% of my clients were boomers who came to me with some sort of pre-existing injury or impingement that limited the progress we could make together. Of course as an RKC, I had some tools in my toolbox to help them make breakthroughs, but I didn't have The Kettlebell Boomer. I remember both of us walking out of some training sessions frustrated that we didn't make the progress we intended to make. Has this ever been you?
If the answer is yes, you have to watch The Kettlebell Boomer with Master RKC, Andrea Du Cane. Du Cane's DVD is one of the most important kettlebell DVD's available for both trainers and kettlebell enthusiasts- here is why:
Students in the DVD are varied in their limitations you will find either yourself or your client in this DVD
Du Cane teaches you with sound methods how to work within and even overcome limitations
You will learn how to reverse the effects of aging in a easy to understand format- Du Cane is professional and engaging
Complete and thorough instruction on how to adapt certain exercises to specific limitations
Du Cane demonstrates how to shatter plateaus, boost performance and maximize results!
Did you know boomers are estimated to be 80 million strong by 2020? As a trainer you must know how to train this group of people and as a boomer you should know that you don't need to be limited in your kettlebell training.
What was the experience you had recently that left you feeling frustrated after a training session? I am willing to bet that after you watch The Kettlebell Boomer DVD you will no longer feel like you (or your client) just didn't do enough or that you (or your client) just can't perform certain kettlebell exercises. Get The Kettlebell Boomer now!
I bought her book "The Ageless Body" first. An excellent book with a work your way up schedule that was just what I was looking for. The problem with books about how to move (try learning Taiji from a book) is that you can't see the flow. This video fixes that. It shows how to properly (and that's important) perform the movements and also has a "class" where four people are performing the exercises at each of the four ability levels. You can join the class and do the version that is right for you.
It's well done. I do recommend that you also have the book that I mentioned first for the schedule if you are starting out way out of shape and are new to kettlebells. It's worth it.
The routines seem well worked out for the intended audience. So many exercise videos have young strong people doing routines that are inappropriate for boomers and seniors. I'm glad that I bought this and am well satisfied with how it's going.
I was looking for a DVD on the use of kettlebells for someone in my age bracket (60); that is a beginner; and that would take into consideration the physical limits that often comes with age and prior physical injuries. This DVD is it! Andrea Du Cane did an excellent job on this DVD. When a couple of questions popped up, I e-mailed Andrea and had my questions answered with 24 hours. Way to go Andrea!
I'm an Occupational Therapy Assistant and I work in a Transitional Rehab Facility. I have a wide variety of clientele , but I can always use the kettlebell for functional training, which is what my job is! I really liked the accommodations, it gave me a lot of great ideas. From this video I also felt confident enough to share my love of kettlebells with my co-workers, and now we have a small group that works out at lunch time. I was also impressed with the amount of time that was spent on form, that's another thing that us therapists like to instill is proper form! Very nice DVD.
Recently, I did a kettlebells dvd (with a 9# kettlebell), and I was appalled with how the workouts were set up, the moves done. I did a short workout on it (21 minutes with warm up, and cooldown). I attempted to add on another short workout from this dvd; gave up and put in Andrea's Ageless Body dvd and did the cardio workout. What a difference! Andrea is very keen on form, safety, and doing the moves, but NOT hurting yourself. There ARE kettlebell dvds which ought to NOT be on the market. I heartily recommend Andrea's.
I felt compelled to watch this dvd and even more compelled to write this review. Watching it reminded me of my parents and the necessity to get the transformative power of the kettlebell into the hands of the Baby Boomer Generation. This dvd will do just that.
The most amazing thing about "The Kettlebell Boomer" is not just Andrea's 4-stage breakdown of the exercises for just about anybody at any age level, but was actually watching two men - 58 and 63, and two ladies, 60 and 65 - gracefully take their kettlebells through their paces.
"The Kettlebell Boomer" truly demonstrates that kettlebells are for EVERYBODY and no bodies need it more right now than the Boomers. This dvd is the solution to aging gracefully and it couldn't come at a better time than now. My hope is that members of the Boomer generation, with the help of my generation (Gen-X), experience what we already know - that "when we say kettlebells, we mean strength. And when we say strength, we mean kettlebells."
Andrea DuCane is not a Master Instructor for nothing. She has been there from the beginning of the Kettlebell Invasion and is still leading from the front. In fact, she was my Team Leader when I got certified in 2005 and was a tough, fair and exacting instructor.
She only wanted you to do things technically correct so that you could make the best progress you could,safely. Her emphasis on technique and execution over sheer loads makes a big difference,especially when on is in the second half of their journey.
Her interest in working with the general population lead her to always emphasize corrective drills, stretching, mind body connection and safety first, way before it became so popular.
Her newest DVD Kettlebells for Boomers is perfect for those that want a solid introduction to all the basic kb exercises as well as progressions and techniques that let them go slowly into this brave and perhaps scary new world of the kettlebell.
Given that there are 76 million people in this age range this is a product that needed to be made.
One of the charges we ask of ourselves when certifying potential RKC's is whether we would feel safe having them train our Mothers. With this DVD any instructor will have even more tools to safely bring deconditioned, older people into the kettlebell community with confidence.
Well done Andrea, this is a fantastic DVD!
"Kettlebell Boomer DVD by Andrea DuCane is full of excellent progressions, variations and techniques targeted at the "senior" population.
Trainers will want this product so they can effectively integrate the Kettlebell into the routines of their "senior" clients and Seniors will want this product to enhance their own Kettlebell practice or to enter into Kettlebell training. With 4 experience levels, the "self screen" and the variations and progressions provided, this DVD can open the world of KB training to the older clientele."
Brett Jones, Master RKC, CSCS, CK-FMS
I have Tracy Riefkind's swing DVDs. With Kettlebell Boomer, My basics are in place. Andrea is an excellent instructor. No RKC or HKC within 75 miles of my residence. I am grateful for these 3 DVDs to help master the basics since no certified instructors are close to home. By the way, I celebrate 68 yrs. 2012.
As an Instructor, I want nothing more than to be able to help my family as I do my clients. However, they live out of state and only seem to remember so much from each visit. But now with this fabulous new BOOMER DVD, I am excited that they will be able to continue learning.
Andrea did a tremendous job. The Introduction is very thorough. The Self Screen is very simple, clear to understand and extremely important for those who do not have an instructor near by. Each exercise is explained in great detail and easy to follow. I think having different levels of athletes to follow was brilliant and gives each person room to grow with this one DVD.
The background is soothing and the music doesn't over power. Andrea's approach and progressions will make everyone feel comfortable. And the Athlete interviews show REAL people moving well and proves that at any age you too can gain strength and defy the aging process. Why not start now?
I am looking forward to taking this DVD home for the holidays to get my family following along with Andrea's Boomer Athletes.
