Hello All

Just looking for some guidance - should I be eating all my calories and then exercise so I'm below on my calorie total? Or should I aim to be at zero calories taking into account how many calories I've gained from exercising?! If that makes any sense!!!

Also, I do a Kettlebell workout (Kettlenetics) and it's the cardio balance workout so I'm doing cardio and strength training ... right? I've been listing it as a general circuit training for my exercises since the explanation seemed near enough. Is that right?

Hope we're all doing well starting 2012 - my husband is doing P90X so I've decided to do my Kettlenetic DVD 5 times a week to support him, and so I'm not left behind when he gets all buff and I'm a podgy lump next to him! We did our before pictures yesterday and I was not best pleased, clothes hide a lot that a bikini doesn't! LOL Will be doing our next pictures at 30 days and hoping to post some good results here then :D

All the best, N x

    Everyone debates this on here. If you eat back all your exercise calories you will still lose weight, but not as fast as when you don't eat them back. It's that simple.



    IMHO -
    Hit your calorie target consistently.
    Exercise as much as you can.
    Make sure your net calories are over 1200.
    Drink all your water.
