Www.dailyburn.com has great kettlebell routines with a great instructor modeling excellent form which targets core muscles and legs. Also Amy Bento has some great dvds.

I love it....so many workouts to choose from, even kettlebell. The instructors are great also, and it's only $10.00 a month. Use it on my iPad, which travels with me everywhere. The first 30 days are free, so if you don't like it, you just cancel your membership.

Thank you!

I'm in. Already did 3 minutes earlier today.

I started with 5 lb. kettlebells, especially since I wanted to learn the correct form first. but 5 lbs is really light for me since I lift at the gym 3 X a week. You really only need to purchase one. There are great kettlebell workouts at www.dailyburn.com and the kettlebell dvds by Amy Bento Ross are supposed to be…

Thank you! Luv, luv, luv blueberry muffins.....

Weight training increases your calorie burn even when you are sleeping, and your muscles are repairing. It is cardio, especially when you are doing 2-4 sets, waiting about 30-45 seconds between sets, using good form, and breathing correctly. I do circuit training 3 x a week and cardio 3 x a week. On days when I do both…

I love my very used copy of "Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals" by Holly Clegg. I think she has some newer cookbooks also.

Would love to join this 40 something group. Dedicated to losing sensibly and keeping it off permanently this time. No shake or other diets this time.....have been down that road before. Although it worked (twice), life always seemed to throw curve balls that got me off track and I would gain it back. Feels so much better…

I have the Zumba Gold DVD which I use at home sometimes; I also do various Zumba routines on Youtube.

Weights plus sensible cardio works best. Circuit training, if done correctly in a focused manner, is aerobic activity. Lean muscle burns more fat, even while you are sleeping. Check out this site for calories burned per activity: http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/calculat.htm.

If you are nervous about trying Zumba, try Zumba Gold. An easier way to get used to the moves, and lower impact on the joints. There is also a Zumba Gold DVD you can buy; great 45 minute, fun workout. Includes a training DVD on all the steps, which is also a great workout. Zumba is great! Doesn't matter if you are a good…

I would love to join this group. Finding it much harder to lose weight since getting older, going through a complete hysterectomy, and plunging into surgical menopause. The hormone battle is on! Anyone else in this group going through similar issues?
