No I don't?!

@kota4bye I did a tabata kettlebell workout the other day and it has a lot of swings like this work out does. 40 swings 40 one handed each side 40 handoffs and them quads were shakin haha. First time I felt the burn of kettlebell swings! I am definitely gonna check this out! Thanks

I have some days where I look in the mirror, smile and say, wow I really have lost weight. Then some days I look in the mirror and say- you look worse then when you started. Ugh the struggle :(

Meant to say blessing not bleeding.. Haha. Haha yep I can tell

I know you weren't being critical! And I appreciate your responses. My goal is to loose 20lbs as of now I am loosing 2 lbs per week. My concern is making sure all of my blood sweat and tears is making it all worth it because it's being done right. Not to make me skinny but strong and fit/ healthy. I have always had a…

Yes, I find myself asking my family if they can really see the difference all the time. I can see the number on the scale as well as the change in my clothing sizes but still question it. I think my first issue is that it's still shaped the same only smaller for now, and also that it hasn't been as difficult as I imagined.…

Thanks! It's always fun to switch things up. Yea it's more a cardio then strength training - which is good for me for now. Wouldn't mind working up to strength training. So do you think a workout described could get someone fit and strong still? I usually mix in some 2 min of jump rope intervals which is awesome cardio but…

You can do this! This app really helps you learn how many calories you consume that really aren't needed. By that I mean- That handful of chips you when you're not even hungry or even how many calories you consume in drinks. I have had some good results in just a month and a half. And I think you will too!

@dlm7507 I can't remember all the names because I follow a video some were Russian twists -50. Halos -30 one was where you place the kettlebell on the top of your thigh leg lifted at 90 degrees and lifted you leg up -30 each side. Back scratchers -30 deadlifts, lunges, swings all were 30. Some cardio and push ups added in.

Oh I was for sure sweating! I think I could use a heavier weight with the arm exercises and swings but keep it lower for certain moves.

Yes I am glad/ fortunate I am back to pre pregnancy size! Now it's time to do better than that! :) and thanks!!

That is true! Do ever look in the mirror and see that you are smaller and think it's all in your head because you know you have been putting forth effort?

Yea it's not easy and the hardest part for me isn't the actual counting calories or working out its forcing the negativity from my brain. But I have two girls and I really want to be happy with myself (inside and out) so that my girls can learn from me how to love themselves. That's more important than anything to me. It's…

I like that!! You're right. Thanks :)

@MorganMoreaux thanks! It is going well you're right but I can't stop saying well I had a baby not that long ago it's all just the baby weight coming off. But even if it is at least is is coming off, right?!

My first kettlebell workout (30 min) I was not sore at all the next day but my weight did not seem heavy enough so I returned my kettlebell for a heavier one. Did a 30 min workout the next day with my heavier weight. Did I do something wrong? Is my kettlebell not heavy enough? Is it really true no pain no gain? Or is that…

@BritannieWilliams1979 haha wow 7-8 miles that's crazy. Yes we are using are arms a lot for blow dries and combing the hair and we are constantly walking in a small space haha. I am actually going to try and keep my phone in my pocket the whole shift. Idk why I said if I keep my phone in my pocket my whole day. Because it…

Me too! I only probably eat back my calories burned through exercise but maybe once a week and those are estimated on the low side

@dlm7507 thanks for the video! What was he doing wrong in the second video bending his knees to much? In have been doing bodyfit by Amy on YouTube. I just follow her so I can't remember the names of the moves. If you get a chance you should look at the quality of those videos. I have done her HIIT kettlebell workout a few…

I guess I use the word fast because I tend to gain muscle pretty quick. Don't know if it's because I have always done some kind of workout/sport most of my life. But in the last 5 years have gone from 1 year of working out to months with slacking then I'll start it back up and stop again when life gets in the way trying to…

I guess my main concern is; do the workouts burn fat like jogging or a HIIT workout would? If you do a routine of about 30 min. I want to make sure I am also burning fat.

Thanks! I will check them out today!

True!

@almostanangel21 I have done a lot of research on kettlebells and calories burned and almost every site I have seen says 20 calories per minute. I think The American exercise association even studied it and found that it burns 20 calories per minute. But what I am wondering is, what moves? Is it majority of kettlebell…

What does this class consist of? I have been doing some of the bodyfit by Amy videos I usually do two at a time. And I run twice I week I wish I could run more but by the time I get a chance it's dark. Lol

I have been doing HIIT workouts so yes they are high intensity with little to no break and you can feel your heart rate up the whole time. I bought a 12 lb kettlebell but it just doesn't seem heavy enough for me. I feel like I get a good sweaty workout when I use the 12 lb but I don't feel like it's a major challenge. I…

Is doing kettlebell workouts okay as your primary workout? I have been doing them 5-6 days a week for a half hour a day. I also have researched them quite a bit and most sites say you burn 20 cal per min. During kettlebell routines do you think that is accurate?

Awesome!!! I love 30 day shred!
