From: Forest Vance, former pro football player, kettlebell expert, over-40 training specialist:
Dear friend:
- Would you like a stronger, more functional core?
- Are you looking to eliminate pain and be able to better do all of the things you enjoy?
- Would you just like to have a better looking set of abs?
I'm writing this letter to you today to let you know that kettlebells are the perfect tool for building a strong, functional, AND great looking midsection.
But more on that in just a bit.
See, earlier this year, I turned 40. One of my big goals was to get a stronger, more functional, and better looking set of abs.
I have two small kids, and let me tell you, they have endless energy!! Keeping up with them is a workout in itself. Racing them in the park, playing catch, tossing them into the pool, and so much more requires a strong level of physical fitness. And I know that having a strong core will help me do this for years to come.
I love hiking and trial running. I also typically do several obstacle course races each year. As I write this, I am preparing for a big one towards the end of 2021 (it's a 50k distance, about 12,000 feet of elevation change, plus dozens and dozens of challenging obstacles). I know that having a strong core will help BIG time with these activities.
Plus, if I'm honest with myself, I'm usually in this sort of perpetual "bulking" phase. Not fat, but while I always carry a good amount of muscle, I typically hang out in that mid-to-high-teens bodyfat percentage.
So this year, I decided to change all of that. For the fist three and a half months of 2021, I REALLY focused on training my abs hard, plus cleaning up the diet. And I got some pretty solid results! Here is a progress pic (the on the left is from several years ago, but I wanted to post both to give you the "before and after" effect):
Now, I'm working to get even stronger and leaner before my next OCR race in November. And I will continue to use the same methods I used to get here.
WHY am I telling you all of this?
Because my results were largely thanks to the power of the kettlebell. Specifically, learning how to use kettlebells in special, new ways to both strengthen the core, shed the fat, AND take it easy on my 40-year-old joints, all at the same time. And I am putting everything I've learned into our upcoming 28-day Challenge:
Here's how it works:
The first bonus I am going to include when you sign up today is my "14 day Jump Start" diet and lifestyle plan. This is the "quick-start" plan all new clients at our personal training studio get when they first sign on. We want them to get rapid results, and this complete guide helps them do it. It's a quick-start nutrition and lifestyle guide - done-for-you meal plan included! - so that you can shed the fat FAST, and get to your goals that much faster. It's sold for $99++, but you get it FREE when you sign up today!
The second bonus I am going to include when you sign up today is my FVT Flexibility and Mobility “Cheat Sheets”
Here you’ll get the “cheat sheets” from the last flexibility and mobility workshop we held at FVT. You’ll learn about self-myofascial release, joint mobility, static stretching, contrast relax stretching, and much more. I’ve also included handy links for more info, exercise descriptions, videos and more on most of the topics.
This is the exact outline of what we did at our $57 workshop. The next best thing to actually having been there. It’s not available ANYWHERE else.
But this aspect of your training is SO important – and I feel, highly NEGLECTED – and so I’ve decided to include it FREE when you order today!
The third bonus I am going to include when you sign up today is my "10 Minute Total Body Workouts" program.
In 10 Minute Total Body Workouts, you’ll find seven of my best body weight / kettlebell workouts to burn maximum fat in minimum time.
If you can’t get a full Basement Badass workout in for any reason, you’ll still have NO excuse, because you’ll have these total body workouts that take 10 minutes or less to do at your disposal!
Or, you can add these on to the END of your regular Basement Badass workouts for the ultimate ass-kicking!
It's 100% FREE as a bonus to you when you sign up today!
This is the COMPLETE program you need to get results.
In a typical economic climate, we would charge between $79-99 for this program. And it would be well worth it. And hundreds of folks have, in our past challenges.
But I am sensitive to what is happening right now. You want to get fit, but you also want VALUE. That's why I'm pricing the Challenge at only $37 dollars for the whole 28 days.
Then, if you love this Challenge, you can continue on in future Challenges for just $28 every 28 days, and you will roll automatically into the next one.
If you don't like it, you can cancel at any time - no hard feelings.
But we think that when you try this program, you'll get amazing results, and you'll be hooked!

Probably lost some weight, definitely got some muscles... but the larger gain is that it helped me move on a different level, it could have been either physical or mental limitation, not sure ... also it is totally okay to do KB strength and this program's cardio together ... I will be doing HIIT and cardio days differently from now on :)"

"I loved this program. I can't believe it's already been four weeks. The workouts were awesome and you gave us so much great information and motivation. I lost five pounds. Endurance is hugely improved. Definite improvements in overall muscle definition. I will continue to incorporate these workouts into my trainings. Excellent format Forest, thank you!!"
- Carolyn Rudin
"Loved the program!! I was looking for new ways to condition myself ... and found it with this program!! I will be using Forest's other programs especially for strength building!"
- Joel Robinson
Q: How many kettlebells will I need to perform these workouts?
A: Just a couple of kettlebells are all you need. Recommended starting weights are a 16k and a 24k for men, an 8k and a 16k for women - but these suggestions could be bumped up or down based on training experience and current fitness level.
Q: Are these workouts suitable for all ages and fitness levels?
YES! I have designed the program with this specifically in mind. We have a "foundations" week before the actual program starts, specifically designed with helping you learn the kettlebell form and getting your fitness level up to speed. Then the workouts themselves are also adjustable and can be modified for all different fitness levels!
Q: I have XYZ injury - can I still do these workouts?
It depends on the injury. What I find is that most people do one of two things when they get injured: 1) stop exercising completely, or 2) keep working out, change nothing, and make the injury worse. I recommend something in between. And I try to give as many options and modifications as I can for all the exercises, so that you can adjust for your own particular situation.
