Is anybody currently doing JNL fusion? I just started it and it would be nice to have a workout buddy :-)

I'm also going to use 5lb weights. Excited to get started, but probably be less excited after the first workout!

Before pics done and measurements taken. Hope I get some good after pics to make me feel less bad about the before ones! What's everybody's plan regarding rest days? Is anybody doing the 30 days straight?

I'm going to join in too! :happy: Have tried the 30 day shred several times, but never made it to the end. I hope doing it together will help spur me on to make it through to the end. Feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

I personally started with a 6kg bell and soon worked up to an 8. I think you can also buy adjustable bells. I have a lot of DVD's and think my favourite one is Lauren Brooks ultimate body sculpt and conditioning volume 2. The results I have had are amazing. Got so much muscle definition in just 4 weeks and am so much…

Depends on your height, weight, age and weight of kettlebell. But the amount of calories you burn is high with kettlebells. A calculator for rough estimation: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp

If you change the IMG on both sides to small letters instead of capitals it will show up. Like so: Great job so far ! :smile:

A tip for replacing sweets: Slice an apple and bake it in the oven sprinkled with cinamon.

For exercise have you ever tried jillian michael's 30 day shred. I strated doing that and really seeing instant results. Not that much in weight initially but in inches. In week 1 my waist had shrunk by 2 inches. Give it a go it's a good workout and only 20 min a day. Good luck on your weight loss journey :smile:

I have got my x-stage lite brass and it's great. But I'm in lots of pain today, my arm muscles are aching. I used to be quite good at pole dancing years ago. Now I haven't done it in years and suddenly feel like a beginner again. I haven't got the strength in my body. Has anybody got any advice on how to build this up?…

I'm going to do the 3 day diet every week for 3 days. On the other 4 days I'll stick to 1200 calories, apart from a day in the weekend of now and then if I'm going out or something. Apart from that I also exercise every day. So no I don't expect 3 days will get me back in shape, but hoping it make it a bit easier not…

I'm on day 2 of this so will let you know my results when it's finished.:smile:

I am getting my x-stage lite delivered today. Super exited! :happy:

I see your post is from quite some days ago, but replying anyway incase you were still wondering about this. I am doing the 30 day shred for the second time round and use my running shoes, they seem very good for the high impact jumps etc. My knees haven't bothered me at all. The shoes I have nike lunarlite dynamic support…

I used to really struggle with getting blocked up. Taking Detox Plus Colon Cleanse Capsules at the moment and need ing to go atleast 3 times a day at the moment. No wonder I used to be so bloated only needing to go once every 3-4 days. Loving all the toilet humor! :laugh:

Since I've started my diet I try to eat as little possible carbs after 3 in the afternoon. So I eat a good filling breakfast a medium lunch and a light dinner. Examples: Breakfast - http://www.food.com/recipe/breakfast-frittata-17489 with some whole meal toast (you can pre prepare and eat cold) Lunch-…

Well done everybody, great results! Thanks for the motivation. Hopefully I will be able to post some progress pics soon. :smile:

Hi Amby welcome to the forum. I started the day shred monday last week, but not been doing it every day so I'm on day 7. From now on doing it every day. It's definitely possible you are seeing a difference especially if you are eating healthy, because I see a difference too. As for the foot cramps I'm not sure, but I use…

OMG wow! That's so inspirational, thanks.

Wow you look great! I'm going to Thailand at the end of July and I'm hoping to be able to wear a bikini then too. Your succes has really inspired me, thanks! :smile:

Just about to do day 4 level 1. I'm dreading it as yesterday I really struggled through it! What day does it start getting easier? Oh and anyone else doing the shred feel fee to add me as a friend. :smile:

Day 3 done. Really finding it hard going, feel like I'm dying while doing it. I know from the last time round that it started to get easier, but not sure when. What day did it start becoming more bearable for any one else who's doing it?

After completing level 1 in january I completely lost motivation and fell of the wagon. Now I'm starting again along with a healthy diet, so bring it on. I know I'm going to feel like I'm dying the first few days, but it will be worth it. Going to take some before pictures and measurements and then starting on day 1. Good…

I did this for 10 days in january and felt great. My fitness improved loads I lost a few inches and 3 pound and my body shape was definitely improving. Then I went away for a long weekend and got completely demotivated! I'm going to restart the 30 days and hopefully have more will power. I gues if you do end up missing a…
