Anyone have great luck with this DVD? I am starting it tomorrow. The workouts are twenty minutes, and I think I'm going to include walking after work with it just to get me moving.

    I just started using this program. I bought it years ago but it has had more active shelf life than real active life. I am starting with the flowmotion basics. I have done it 3 times this week. I love it. I should have started when I bought it.

    I'm not sure what you mean by great luck.

    My only advice is to start with a low weight kettlebell. I recently started a kettlebell routine (well, it only lasted two sessions, but...) and ended up pulling a muscle in my back doing something totally unrelated to the exercise session. I had bent over to adjust my pant leg at the end of the work day and <twang>. The good news is that I was able to get a prescription for a muscle relaxant and hydrocodone. (Although I found the muscle relaxant and Aleve worked great and I never did open the bottle of hydrocodone.) Anyhow, I just "graduated" from my back treatments yesterday and I can now exercise more than just walking again. My chiropractor said that if a 10 pound kettlebell seems to be an okay weight to lift, start with a 5 lb kettlebell. Don't swing above your shoulder height for the first two weeks. (He said that was advice for anyone, not just me.) :)

    I'm looking forward to getting back together with my kettlebell and Hip Hop Abs.

    Edited to add: I thought I should add that I was NOT doing Kettlenetics. I have the Absolute Beginners: Kettlebell 3-in-1 with Amy Bento. (I should look into the Kettlenetics one...)
