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

    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!

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

    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?

    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. :wink:

    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'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 :wink: 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 :heart:

    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
