    Kettleworx is not an actual kettlebell training program as most of the moves done are not kettlebell specific moves. It is more or less a program that adapts conventional aerobics with light weights to kettlebell training and is not as effective as actual kettlebell training (which is traditionally much more dynamic in nature as well as has you using a MUCH higher weight)

    Remember that muscle weighs more than fat! I would keep an eye on the measurements and how you feel more closely than what the scale says. :)

    A pound of muscle weighs exactly the same as a pound of fat. The pound of muscle is denser. The pound of fat is larger because it has more volume.

    A 12 oz. bag of Puffed Cheetos will be larger than a 12 oz. bag of crunchy Cheetos.

    I just started doing a KettleBell X workout at my local gym. Today was my first day I completed it!! So proud of myself and what a workout!! I am hoping I can stick with it. My biggest problem is what I eat. I enjoy working out but ruin it when its time to eat.

    I am thinking of purchasing the kettleworx. I will also have to buy a kettleball. Any suggestions on what weight I should should buy? I have been doing some lifting with hand weights usually 5 lbs. Is that where I should start with the kettleball?

    I started with a 10lb kettlebell and outgrew it quickly.
    You need something that is challenging.

    I now use 35lbs, and two 20lbs bells for double work outs.

    I saw big changes, granted its been a couple of years so I don't remember details.

    One thing, is the cute-sy names.
    I prefer to know the real names for the moves.

    I did the program, then branched out to more advanced rotuines.

    I lost 40 lbs in six months doing only the Kettleworx program and I only did the 3 20-minute workouts each week - nothing extra. Also did the Fat free in 42 - food plan that's included with 1 cheat meal a week. I started with a 5lb kettlebell and progressed onto a 10 and then 15lb each time I completed the program. I loved only working out 1 hour a week. It worked for me. I also did Jillian's 90 day body revolution after that. That was 3 years ago and I am still maintaining my weight loss :)

    I think estimating kettle bell calorie burns are almost impossible. I did 8 mins yesterday - but in that 8 mins I executed over 110 snatches with a 45lb bell - that is going to burn WAY more than someone doing 10 goblet squats rest or 1 min repeat with a 10 lb bell - there are too many factors in play - the weight you use, reps you execute, exercise you do - even the form of the exercise - I am training for competition so I use a form that actually preserves as much energy as possible so I can maintain a steady pace and non stop high rep count - there is no way I would be able to get as many hard form snatches with the same weight in 8 mins -
