I love both the Crossfire and Afterburn workouts. I'm 68 so I understand what you're saying about the high impact cardio. Believe it or not, I'm not dying when I finish. LOL! I'm tired, but it's a good tired. There are a few moves that I have altered slightly. I figure I'll work on them a little at a time until I'm able to…

Thanks. That's about what my kettlebell workout is. I'll use that since The Firm isn't listed.

Thanks. Any idea how many calories it burns?

Thank you both. I bought Jillian's and also Kathy Smith's. I've been doing Kathy's for about a week. Love it. When I need a change up, I'll switch to Jillian's for a while. So far I'm loving it, and can already feel a difference.

Reptileszz............When you say 800 calories an hour, what size kettlebell are you using? I'm 67 and fairly new at using kettlebells. So I've started with a really light one, in hopes of moving up as I get better at it.

Thanks! I really appreciate the info. I've been searching the internet, and found an older one of Jillian Michaels'. It says it's for any age, so I ordered it. Hopefully she's right when she says any age.

Thanks, Mokey41. I appreciate your help. I noticed your Boo Bees. Are you by chance a beekeeper? My husband and I are. They're amazing little creatures.

Thanks. I think either of those should come close to the calories burned. Great ideas!

This may have been addressed before, but how to you figure kettlebells into your fitness record? I tried doing a search for them, but nothing came up. Thanks!

I'm 67 and using a small kettlebell. I love it, but every time I use it my lower back really hurts. The same thing happens with Taebo. Any suggestions? I try to watch my form, but I'm I know it's not perfect. I really don't want to give up on the kettlebells. I've pretty much stopped Taebo because of the pain. :( I…

Thanks for the input. We don't have the Curves Smart machines. I had hoped we would get them, but unfortunately our Curves is closing soon. :( I'll probably use my ski machine and treadmill, along with my various dvd's. I just need to stay motivated. It's easier for me to get distracted when I'm working out at home. New…

I was wondering the same thing. I just asked that it be added to the exercise listings. Hopefully they will. :)

They announced a few months ago that they will be on in January. Jillian will be joining them.

Thanks to each of you! I'm new to this site, so I'm still trying to figure out all the settings, etc. So far I love this site! I think it's going to be perfect to help me lose.
