Thanks!! I am glad to see so many positive remarks about her workouts, I had read some places online saying her workouts can be dangerous. But I remember years ago when the Cindy Crawford/Radu workout came out and some criticized IT for being risky/dangerous, and I used to do that workout all the time and was in the best…

Thanks all, great replies and info and suggestions!!! :)

She has a diet book or two out there, with meal plans, etc..that is what I was referring to by her books..

I often wish MFP had like buttons for replies!!! Thanks all!!!:D

Wow, that is awesome!! And yes, I am finding the weight is handled mostly by your core, and thankfully my core is very strong!!! May I ask if you are male or female..?

So many great points and thoughts on this!! Thanks all!! I think if it happens again I will just move quietly to another machine. It very well could be just an allergy or just a tickle, as I mentioned in one of my posts, but it also might be something brewing or something contagious. Personally I do not get why someone…

Totally agree! But I do know, and I've been there before, that some coughs just linger and linger, or it might just be allergies, hard to say!! But I just don't get why anyone wants to pick a piece of equipment right next to someone when there are 40+ other ones available, but that might just be me and my personal space…

Haha, that is what I kind of tell myself..that they are (hopefully) not contagious..;) I guess maybe moving is not a bad idea..

Let's hope!! But even with my bad wrists, I still don't want to get too crazy with them..

Thanks for the rec's!! Unfortunately, the closest Trader Joe's (as is Whole Foods) is also over an hour away, and we do not belong to Costco anymore.. But I will definitely check out the other recommendations, thanks!!! :)

Agreed!!! ;)

Wow, you are lucky!!!

I could not agree more, to stay safe and enjoy!!! I may outgrow them, I will cross that bridge when I get there. But for now, these are great for this newbie!! I still dream of the bigger and better ones, though!! ;)

TY, TY!!

Ahh, if only we had a good local baker..esp one that baked healthy options.. ;)

Thanks all. I got a set/kit from Kathy Smith as my Christmas present to myself, they ran around $23.00 at Wally World (yes I prefer not to shop there, but..) and it includes a 3 lb kettlebell, a 5 lb kettlebell a DVD and wall chart. So far, so good, I am enjoying it!! I think this is a great way to get broken into…

Thanks for the replies, and great thoughts as well. I agree, wondering if this is a one size fits all kind of thing (thinking probably is).

Yep I hate mine! 45 years old and keep wishing menopause will hit soon! I know many people say menopause sucks, but to me, I have had rough periods ever since I was in my teens. Exercise does help greatly with cramping, but it still often has me wanting to be bed-ridden the first day or two. Pain pills don't even touch the…

Oh geez, I can't believe I forgot the link!! I am so sorry!! https://www.kathysmith.com/store/2-week-new-you-kickoff Thanks!!!

I am very much still a novice to MFP but one thing I have found and that I believe is we need to do what works for us and what we believe is best for us and what we get the most/best advantage from. That person is entitled to their opinion. It does not mean it is right or that you need to follow it. I think some people's…

This is ow I feel about them. They are okay, too, for something quick or a convenience thing, but I try to have things made ahead of time or plan ahead. But for days when that is not possible, I am not going to beat myself up for resorting to one of these or something similar. Just not part of my regular rotation of foods.

Finding an RKC in this area would be like trying to find a needled in a haystack. TY htimpaired, I will look for yt videos from Sarah Lurie or Lauren Brooks. Thanks so much for all the info. Looks like I need lots more research!!

jemhh, I hope someone can answer that for you. I would maybe google kettleball classes and your zip code and see what pops up. Or go to your local YMCA or gym and ask. Even though that facility may not offer it, that may know of a place that does. Hopefully someone can give you a better answer. Good Luck!! :)

Oh, those all sound so good, too!! TFS!! :)

Ahhhh..see, this was something lurking in the back of my subconsciousness..I've got bad wrists..These may not be for me, might be best to stick with dumbbells. Oh I totally believe in and agree with proper form. I have always been huge on that. Definitely don't want to risk injury. Plus you get the most bang for your buck…

Those sounds like good ideas, too!! Thanks!! :)

Some great ideas, thanks everyone!!

I realize that. Thanks. Was looking for people's personal faves here. Some reviews online are biased and what not. But yes, google is great for a lot of things!

They definitely sound like something I want to look in to. I think once learning more about them, how to use them properly they will be great to use, especially when I hit a plateau! I am a fast learner with a lot of stuff. Not everything, but a lot of stuff. ;) Thanks for all the info and sharing experiences with them. :)

Some great ideas, thanks all!! Sometimes it is hard to please everybody. Guess I will not go overboard worrying about it or making different things. Thanks again!!
