Really? that's interesting, what is wrong about her form?

Hhhmmm...maybe I'll put them on my b-day list. How pricey is pricey for decent kettle bells? Guessing the heavier they are the more they cost...just like with anything.

What would you recommend as a good weight for someone who has never used them? In the JM video her kettle ball has removable weights so she can change the weight of it without having a bunch of individual ones. I kinda like that idea but I'm guessing they're pricey. Versatile as in? I'd like to get a little more into the…

anyone?...Hello...is this thing on? *tap tap tap* :tongue:

Self employed and work from home too. I keep myself pretty busy while I'm working though so there's not always time to sit and munch. If I do, I try to make conscious choices of good foods instread of crap.

15 minutes north of Calgary, AB :smile:

I eat greek yogurt with Kashi cereal in it. I love it and I eat it every morning!

Yes, I know what the cycle is, I do her videos. I was just wondering if it is classified as strength training as a whole or if just weight lifting is strength training. Wondering if the video is enough ( I am toning up nicely I think) or if I should go back to my weight resistance machine ( I have an old Nordic Track…

Feel free to add me, Just north of Calgary, AB.

Ha ha...I apparently can't count, lol. I guess that should read 13 pounds to go...not 16. Anyways, thanks!

I really like her too! I'm on level 3 of 30DS and plan to do ripped in 30 next. I also have shred with weights that I'll heck out after that.

I do interval training on my treadmill. It has a setting for this and it is 1 minute run and 1 minute walk/jog depending on what speed settings you set it at. I like it, makes my run more interesting instead of just a straight run at the same pace. I've heard/read (not sure how true it is) that interval training helps burn…

Your legs will hurt like hell for the first few days of the shred but it will go away. Just stick with it! I'll be starting Ripped in 30 in a couple weeks. I did about 10 minutes of it the other day after I did a level 3 Shred and I think it'll definitely be a great workout!

I like water, Mio and vodka. Blender drinks are also my favourites too. I also like a light beer and clam.

I'm 5' 2.9" and 148lbs. I eat about 1616 /day. I just upped my calories from 1416. Right now as I adjust to a higher intake, I only eat half of my exercise calories back.

I have 2 dogs, 1 ferret, 6 fire belly toads, 3 chorus frogs, 1 bearded lizard, and 1 Arizona Ornate tree lizard. I'm a bit of an animal freak :smile:

I've done a bunch of different things. When I first started out I did just cardio pretty much...running/interval training on my treadmill. Then I started to incorporate some strength training in there. I bought an old used weight resistance machine and started using that a bit. Now I am doing mostly cardio and Jillian…

Thanks everyone! I use to be the laziest person around who hated exercise...if I can do this, anyone can. I know everyone says this but it's true! You just need to have the want and the will to do it!

I work out anywhere between 2.5 hours - 4 hours/ week depending on what I'm doing.

I do interval training on the treadmill for cardio and Jillan Micheals videos. I have a couple days left of level 2 of 30 day shred and thn Ono level 3. I also got extreme shred, shred ith weights and ripped in 30. I just have o decide which video I'm going to do...thinking ripped in 30. I'm going to check out thy Nike app.

Ok, so I changed my goals...I put my setting at "active" which put my TDEE at 1890. I then went in and changed my daily calories from 1416 up to 1616 (because I want to add in calories slowly...in a couple weeks I'll add in another 200). Now...how will this work for logging in my exercise? I'd like to keep logging it so I…

This is the stats from the spread sheet you provided... At a 12.9% deficit... BMR- 1435 TDEE- 2272 TDEG - 1980 Alternate use box...Eating for future you: 16.7% deficit TDEE- 2272 TDEG - 1894

Well, I work with kids (I run a day care in my home) so I'm on the move all day pretty much, up and down from standing to being on the floor and then when it's nap time, that is when I do my workout. I am doing the 30 day shred at the moment and then run on my treadmill for 20 minutes or so. I do this at least 3…

According to that spread sheet, I should be eating 1929 calories (1800 for a -20% deficit). That's a lot! the other sites were about 1500-1600ish calories...1 being almost the same as the spread sheet. That's about 500 calories MORE than I'm eating now! Yikes! If I'm eating this I do NOT eat exercise calories right?

Ok, I get the whole TDEE - 20 % thing and I think I'd like to up my calories a bit to try this out. HOWEVER...doing the TDEE - 20% includes your daily exercise. I don't always exercise every day but try to do at least 3 days/week for about 30 - 50 minutes depending on what I'm doing. All these sites that everyone posts for…

I'm on day 5 of level 2. I also mix up my hand weights. I found some of the exercises to easy with the 3lb ones so upped them to the 5lb. I took a peek at level 3 today and I think it might just kill me.

I'm a daycare provider...so self employed!

1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many? I have 5 but have been tattooed 9 times. I had a couple added to and some redone 2. When did you get it/them? I got my first 1 about 18 years ago and my most recent one was done this past Sept.-Nov (took 3 sittings) 3. What did you get? 1 - a moon with a shooting star with ivy…

On Feb. 11 it will be 4 years since I quit. I smoked for about 15 years or so. I put on a lot of weight when I quit but I have about 15lbs left to go until I reach my goal weight and then I can reasess from there. Quitting smoking is one of the best things I have ever done for myself...right up there with loosing the…

I only work out at home. I run/interval training on my treadmill, strength training on my resistance machine and/or workout videos. In the spring/summer/fall, I like to go roller blading.
