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!0 -
I ordered mine a week or so ago - did my first session this evening.
Oh Sweet Jesus did I feel the burn!!
One thing though - I've no idea what level of calorie burn is going on....0 -

I've just ordered mine and they are coming tomorrow.
Just wanted to know how it is going for you ladies? Any tips and what have you noticed0 -
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? 0 -

OK update today did the Fast Abs 10 min workout incl cool down/warm up burned 79 cals in 15 mins highest HR 137 lowest 109 also did 20 mins of a Zumba DVD
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:0 -
OK managed to do the 25 min Cardio and yeah it kinda kicked booty lol :bigsmile:
burned 223 calories doing 25 minutes Max 161 Avg 141
Also did JM BFBM for 53 mins
I'm hoping this will all be worth the pain I am feeling :laugh:0 -
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. 0 -
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!0 -
I thought this thread had died and I was chatting to myself lol will post the results and then reply thanks guys :flowerforyou:

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 uncoordinated0

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!0 -
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. :]0 -
Hi everybody.. im Looking to loose another 20 and ill be very happy. I started kettleworx today and really excited to see my results!!!..how long usually until you can really see a noticable diffrence with kettleworx?? Thanku!0
