Hi all 
wannadrop3st hope you enjoy getting to grips with your 4kg, when will you be starting
lyndzi76 I think a 5kg is a really good starting place if youve not exercised before, its also a safe weight in that you learn how the bells work you, it is hard to recommend, most of the belles on here have been challenged but managed starting with a 5 I prefer the metal bells, they are more compact so easier to handle on some moves
Susie it crept up on you again and sounds like you got worked hatd Hope you are ok and the pain eases
Martin - with your slippers on, and a mug of tea in your other hand lol You make it sound so easy!
Bostik are those the seated 8s haha I couldnt do them at all when I started
Alan I was looking at skoggs it looked really good, but it didnt quite make my christmas wish list. You have picked some challenging dvds, all good ones (heard mixed reviews for 300), so will be perfect for when you want to change it up a bit
Trimlee great to hear round 2 started and good luck with your 7.5
MinnieMel hes only using an 8 lol
There has been some fantastic posts on inch loss, links, tips, dvds etc on here, so having somewhere to make these more accessible would be great. There appears to be an interest considering the number of hits this thread gets Wow you just made me swear i will never go to aquafit lol Next time your instructors on hols, dont go Hope your swing helps ease those kinks
Sweet what a great pic that will be when you get to target, you standing in one leg of your old trousers!!! You have done fantasticaly well, and are a true inspiration
Donzy and still standing lol
I am tempted to have a little swing later, a little tight from yesterdays session, still in two minds at the mo lol

Swit swoo Mr K! Mr S said, "I'll settle for that!" so high praise indeed from him. He looks fab. You know he's now going to get loads of compliments and he's going to be strutting around big style!!
Thanks for sharing. xx

Nice one Donzy. Is that wk4 done for you? I found it a hard slog, but pleased to report that Wk5 Cardio was ok.

Perseverance is key
Ello lovelies,
Did Cardio week 3 this morning, and we're still not seeing eye to eye but I am feeling fitter as the days go on, it doesn't seem too much of a struggle anymore . I've also ordered a 7.5kg Kettlebell which im collecting from Tesco tomorrow, it was on sale for £13.33, wish me luck with that one, lol! xx

Week 3 Cardio done for me today and dare I say it I rather enjoyed it. Am I wrong for saying I loved the gunslingers? I pretended I was shooting Ryan hahaha. I had my 60 year old Dad doing it with me but he found it really hard work and too fast and could only manage the first set. Any ideas/tips/encouragement I could pass on to him as I think it would really help him get fit and lose weight quickly.
Kron, I bet you're very proud of Mr Kron! My hubby is a builder/plasterer so eats what he wants as he burns energy all day long and he throws 25kg bags of plaster around for fun! He laughs at my 5kg!
My legs are feeling it today so I'll probably be seized up by tomorrow!

mr K will be blushing lolLeapj great to hear your getting a 7.5 good luck with it
cardio can seem like a chore but push through it, it is worth it honest!Sweet lol I hope he is ok now
hope he keeps it up. I bet he will be happy when you tell him the worst is overBostik I started progressing by lifting one leg at a time, once your core strengthens it will become easier
Picklednut your dad can follow kw, as you know it's tough when first starting but within a couple of weeks it is much easier. I got my mum a bell and she is a few years older than your dad

That one was heavy work on the legs! I might have a go at that but cut down on the reps!
Is it me or is it speeded up on the Jumping Jacks?

Donzy, thanks I know the one you mean. Good news it works the legs a lot, that's one of the main areas I want to concentrate on.
