    I use 10lbs and it's a really good workout! Still can't do those jumping/squat things while holding the kettlebell -- but maybe I should try just holding a 3 or 5lb weight instead. Just to think, when I first started this I was holding that 10lbs on my body all the time!

    Shred It was great today. It was a good workout. The part where you hold the kettlebell squat and jump is a killer. Had to stop a couple of times. I pushed through it though.

    I had the day off today, so I thought I would be able to get in Yoga Meltdown and Sw/W early. Well, school called and sent one of my little ones home, so I haven't had a chance to do it yet. :frown:

    I realized I didn't check in yesterday! Shred it w/ Weights wasn't doing it for me for some reason. Maybe I need to use a higher weight. I don't have a kettle ball so I was using a 5 lb dumbell. I bet that is my problem. I should bump up to an 8 until I can buy a kettleball. I burned under 200 cals with it which is by far the lowest cal burn for any of the JM workouts I've done. I guess it is more concentrated on toning rather than cardio.

    Excited to try Yoga Meltdown for the first time! I'll let you guys know what my HRM states that I burn doing it. :smile:

    Keep up the great work!:flowerforyou:

    Yeah, I just got done doing it with the 8 lb weight, and it was a little harder. I burned 227 cals--way better than before! I'm not sure if I like Yoga Meltdown. I really thought I would, but it was hard to remember all the moves without looking at the television, and it was hard to do the moves while looking at the television. :laugh:

    I tried 6 week 6 pack Level 1 once between the 30ds challenge and the Slimdown challenge. I remember liking it!! :wink:

    The yoga part is difficult looking at t.v but I got used to it once I did it a few times( different yoga video) Its like wth are you making me do, I cant see? lol

    Thanks Val for letting us know the calorie burn. I had checked out a website and it was saying roughly around the same, so I'll stick to that :) Definately the Shred it with Weights (SIWW) is a toning workout. I need it though cause my biceps are good but my triceps need a little more off a firmness. I figured out that I like strength workouts better than cardio.... maybe cause I can do the whole thing without having to gasp for air lol


    Hope everyones doing great!! :)

    I had that same "watch TV and try to do the moves" problem too. But I remember having that problem with The Shred too. It will get better as I get more familiar with it. The whole concept of Yoga is new to me, so I'm sure anyone watching me would have had a good laugh. :)

    Excited to do 6wk 6pack tomorrow!

    6 week 6 pack was good! I like it a lot. I was very scared of it and still had to modify a couple moves, but I'll get there. I can't keep up on the burpee's though...no

    My shoulders and inner thighs are killing me today...is that from the YM?? wow. It's a good burn, though. :smile:
