I did the my kettlebell dvd this morning again. My legs and butt were still sore, but usually working out helps that for me. I feel great after getting done. According to my HRM I burned 460 calories in the 55 minutes. Anyone with a HRM burn about that much with kettlebells? Just curious :)

The first time I did the workout I occasionally felt it in my back, but never got sore there. What I did specifically to make sure I wasn't putting stress on my back, especially on the swings...was too keep my core tight and when you swing up your arms and thrust your hips forward don't curve your back. Sometimes when I…

I wear the New Balance WR760. I went to a store called Running Wild and they watched me walk barefoot and what not and tried different shoes. I've had them for about 2.5 months and have had no more issues with my knees like I was with my old shoes :) They said I pronate alot.

you look great!!! :)

So as i said before, i've been doing kettlebell's for a couple weeks and it's going great. I love the workouts. So....yesterday I started a new dvd routine.....Powerbody Kettlebell Bootcamp DVD with Angie Miller. I liked it, wasn't sure if i loved it. I woke up this morning....and boy is my butt and hamstrings sore haha.…

bump!

Thanks for this routine!! I may use this instead of a DVD some days :)

I've been doing kettlebell workouts at home for a couple weeks now and like how they get my heart rate up but are working my muscles too. I started with a 8 pound kettlebell and am still using that one. Mine came with a Danskin DVD that was about 45 minutes long and i did that to start with and I just did a new one this…

I do HIIT and its not necessarily a higher calorie burn, but it continues to burns more calories after your done with your workout is what i've heard. I do one minute intervals of 8.5 and 3 mph for right now and my heart rate goes from about 180 on high intervals to 155 on low intervals. I burn about 200 in 20 minutes of…

I'm in the U.S. - 5'8'' 150 pounds and about a size 10...some places a 12. I have an hourglass figure also, so my size is never going to be really small because of my hips. Which is A-OK with me :)

I look forward to being able to put on anything in my closet and not keep changing until something makes me look smaller....since i'll already be slim :) I also look forward to being comfortable with myself, whether that's out with friends, at home, or doing fun activities including wearing a swimsuit and boating with…

Whenever i log onto MFP and see all my friends recording exercise, eating healthy, and having positive attitudes it keeps me doing the same! I want to be able to log my exercise, so I feel good and to be able to log it on MFP and get positive responses from my friends. Same goes with finishing my food diary successfully.…

The automatic setting for fiber on here is very low. For girls its recommended 25-30 grams of fiber a day and guys I think is a bit more. I changed my setting to 25 to make sure I always get over that. Oh, and don't worry about going over on protein!!

I may have to try that! I use the big containers of whole grain oats to make my oatmeal and I have been adding cinnamon or honey. Honey with strawberries in it is really good too!

Cleaning works for me sometimes :) It gets my mind off of it and by the time i'm done it may be time for a snack or meal so it's like a reward for cleaning!

Definitely MFP!! I plan my days ahead of time and therefore it's really easy to stick with them :)

love this!

bump - i would like to know everyone's response to this bc im not really sure...

I have always loved skim milk and used to drink tons of it! I will never cut it out completely and just drink less of it now...but i'm sticking with my skim milk and just dealing with the sugar that comes with it.

I sneak in push-ups at work. There's a couple handicap bars in there that are just a little lower then hip high and i use those for 45 degree angle push-ups ( I'm working my way up to full ones :) ). I drink ALOT of water, and I make sure and do 20 every time I go to the bathroom so they really add up!

I've never heard of it. Can you get it anywhere?

That's so great and such good commitment! I have a vacation at the end of July that I'm hoping to stay good while on :)
