Been doning kettlebell work outs for about 2 months~ be prepared to get VERY hungry all the time~ eat more protein!

Lots of different workouts available over here for under $20~ I have 2 different ones with 5 and 7 1/2 # weights.

Oh yeah, I saw a noticable difference after 6 workouts (2 weeks) all over really does lift the butt:bigsmile: !

Really watch the dvd all the way through, and practice the form before using the kettlebell to prevent injury!

Good luck!

One thing though - I've no idea what level of calorie burn is going on....

Sorry guys was crazy busy last few days :blushing: I started the challenge tonite

Just completed Week One Core, wearing HRM and was surprised only burned 121 cals for 24 mins highest HR 136 lowest 109 ... I'd say I managed 90/95% of it ok and I was using the 5lbs weight

I had also just come back from a 2 hour walk in the woods How do you guys compare?

Didn't do the full 20 mins workouts as wanted to rest the body in between but I wanted to get in some kind of workout :bigsmile:

Tomorrow I plan on doing the 20 mins Cardio workout if I can still move lol woke up this morning kinda stiff and sore :laugh:

ChellieIrish

Also did JM BFBM for 53 mins

I'm hoping this will all be worth the pain I am feeling :laugh:

I think it's awesome you are keepin' us posted. I have a kettlebell myself and really dunno how to use it. I currently do sit ups with it and a side to side thing.
I have On-Demand and there's some work outs on there using it. I'll look into the program. Seems like its a good deal.

I started my second six weeks last week. I started over again because I went from a 5 lb. to a 7 lb. You wouldn't think 2 extra lbs. would make a difference, but it does! Great so far.

About results - I am loving them! I've been doing Zumba as my cardio since mid-summer. I didn't add the KW until October. It was after about three weeks I heard from three different people: HOW much WEIGHT have you LOST?!? I had lost a lot of it before KW. I was just more toned and it made people really notice.

Have fun!

I thought this thread had died and I was chatting to myself lol will post the results and then reply thanks guys :flowerforyou:

Monday plus I did Zumba :bigsmile:

I'm kinda nervous moving from the 5lb altho I did get the 10lb too :laugh: might wait a long while to move up as have an old back injury I need to keep an eye on I also do Zumba mind you my Zumba may not be up to scratch I am definitely moving around the room :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: and burning a stack of cals

By the sounds of it I made the right choice I have lost a good bit already but certain areas never seem to go down :noway: I cannot wait to see how it goes :bigsmile:

Are you supposed to do these every day or every other day? How many rest days. I do 1hr+ cardio at the gym every night... I am thinking of buying this set. Also are the actualy moves easy. I am very uncoordinated

Hey! I'm beginning Week Six w/ a 7 lb. Kettlebell. Once I get through that I'm going to try some of the extras I got w/ the set. The Fast Fat Burn (I think that is the title) is really good. I know I won't be ready to move up to the 10 lb. quite as fast. I'm going to stick with the 7 lb. for awhile until I feel like I'm ready.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Hey everyone!
I had started doing kettleworx last july through early/mid november , but due to my inconsistency and poor diet (I have a hard time eating enough) I was never able to get any results further than more energy.
After falling off the health bandwagon I'm now into the end of week two [using the 5lb] and am trying to eat more/better so my metabolism can start functioning again and I can *hopefully* start losing weight and getting healthier.

I don't do more than the 3 exercises a week, more because of equipment restrictions and lack of imagination, so if anyone could give me some ideas that I could do easily at home, I'd really appreciate it. :]
