I'm in *love* with my kettlebells! I'm definitely still a beginner. I just finished a 6 week program with a 5 pound kettlebell and started over again with a 10 pound kettlebell. ....and I'm sore just like day 1 of week 1 with 5 pounds. Love. It. :#

Awesome job! I hope I get there, even if it takes longer than Shaun T has planned for me on that pesky calendar of his

That's a hot tip! I'll try that, too!

I'm going to keep trying, but I do love the kettlebell. I may stick with that a little longer ☺️

lilflav - good call. I'll have to try that. Kellyreen - congrats on getting through week one! I'm sad to report that I only got through the warm up (barely), got frustrated and switched to 30 minutes of kettlebell instead. I'm not sure why I can get through that with no problem, but Insanity kicks my *kitten* so quickly!…

Hello! I got through 3 weeks of Insanity last year and experienced *serious* DOMS in my calves. I couldn't walk! Since then, I've lost more weight and have successfully completed a 6 week kettlebell routine. I'm ready to start again. I did the fit test today, and it wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. We'll see what…

I'm hoping the post-workout protein shakes will make a difference this time around. I'll be right there with you tomorrow ☺️

I'll definitely try that. The fit test went better than I expected. So excited! As long as you're doing a more than the day before, you've got it.

When I started the keto diet a year ago, I did five days on and two days off. That way, if I was having a carb craving, I would eat it and just make that one of my days off. I knew I couldn't go carb crazy on an off day, but after awhile, I didn't NEED two days off. Now, I rarely take one meal off during the week. In any…

I've been on a low-carb (35g or less, typically) diet for a year. On Sundays, I cook veggies in bulk - broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, whatever - for the week and split them up into Tupperware containers so I can grab and go in the morning. I also hard boil a dozen eggs, cook a pound of bacon, and make whatever meat dish…

I'm 32 years old. I was always pretty good about keeping it between 1200-1400 calories a day and staying under 80g of carbs per day. I cut back to 32g of carbs a day when I started a 6 week kettlebell program. At the time the issue presented, I was in week 2 of the program. Hopefully, it seems to have leveled out. If not,…

I'm happy for anyone to add me as well! ☺️

I switched to a low carb diet a year ago and dropped 40 pounds. With most of the extra weight off, I'm focusing on getting into better shape and healthier eating. I just finished week 3 of a 6 week kettlebell program - I can definitely see progress! I try to log everything faithfully, but....sometimes, I forget. ☺️ You can…

Congrats on the start of the program! I may have to check that one out, as I'm on the six week program they came out a while ago now. I know I'll be in the market for a new program to start, and while the dialogue on the six week is a little cheesy, I like to crank my music so that I can barely hear what he's saying. That…

I know I'm late to the thread, but I'm in week 3 of 6 now (halfway there!) - how did it work out for you?

Thanks for the reply! :)
