Morning All - on our shiny new forum! Wk2 Advanced Core done. Loving the double bell disco side bends. The bendy plank is still out for me at the moment with my slowly healing broken little toe (off to the docs this evening about it) so just substitute normal planks in their place which I can manage ok.
Going to do a new thread for our new forum about my KB experiences which I hope will be looked at by folk who are perhaps in two minds about whether KBs is for them or not. Will do it today as back to work tomorrow so won't get a chance otherwise.

Hi Su
Thanks for your reply to my message much appreciated. I'm saving my pennies to purchase the "kettlercise double dvd for women and it comes with a 4kg kettlebell" The reviews look quite good so I hope Ive made a good choice

Today's workout - this is different to yesterday's in that this is meant to be a slow burn, dont rush take pauses but do it properly. I call this complexes as its got some challenges in it, you need to think about the muscle you use. Aim for 15 of each standard exercise, or 45 seconds for timed ones like bridge. they fall into b@stard hard ones or lift heavy so take your pick on either upping the weight or going light.

Hope so! Plan to do it again over the weekend. Or would you recommend I do it closer together? I just was quite achy so took a break and am planning to go to the gym tomorrow and Friday. Also, the dvd says to do the 40 minutes twice a week which is definitely what I am going to start off with but should I up it to three times or will that be too much?
It went well, my left arm is definitely weaker than my right and I struggle a bit but I love the workout because time flies and it's not boring or difficult.

Hi Kron - yeah Docs was fine. Basically he said there might be some light nerve damage but that this will eventually sort itself out. There is no treatment for any toes other than your big one if you damage that, apparently. Got my BP checked whilst I was there and it was spot on so I at least went away with some success!
Aching a little today but a Resistance session tomorrow night should sort that out! Hope you are ok? x

After 3 weeks I have my 4kg bell the company forgot to send me another one out after the first went missing. Hoping to get started on Saturday have tried some of the work out but did not have the floor space. So have tidy up the spare room so have lots of room now, just need to find the yoga mat.

Just done cardio wk 2, nearly killed me doing it, few rest periods! Quick question though. I've a few sore spots but no really sore pain, so does that mean I'm not using a hard enough weight? It's challenging at the time, but doable, if you know what I mean?

will it do the trick?????
Hello everyone, I’ve posted on the intro thread but wondered if anyone on here can help.
Ten years ago I was a fit gym bunny enjoying regular step and martial arts classes but over the years that fell by the wayside and I'm now far from fit or active and my size shows it! My hubby and I have been doing atkins since Christmas and I’ve lost a stone, however the weight loss seems to have stopped even tho I’m still sticking to the diet. I’ve started doing Zumba on the Wii but want to do some other exercise as well. I’ve done a bit of research looking at 30 day shred and others like that butink I’d like to try some form of kettle bell exercise as it looks like it gives quick results. Kettlercise and Kettleworx are a bit expensive for me so was thinking of starting with the 10 Minute Kettlebell DVD and a 4kg weight. Do you think this combination will kickstart the weight loss again? Any answers gratefully received!

Paleo maintenance rocks!
Hi, I am sure you will get more knowledgeable replies as I'm a complete newbie! I've just started using kettlebells and it's already reduced my bodyfat % and measurements although my weight is staying static at the moment, I think due to water retention in my muscles.
I read (I think in this thread, or the Amazon reviews) that the 10 minute kettlebell dvd isn't really a good kettlebell workout. Instead I bought Amy Bento's Absolute Beginners DVD from Amazon at a similarish price and have found it good so far - the workout doesn't cover a large number of different exercises but the intro is really good for tips on the techniques needed. Mine came from the States in just over a week. It knackers me out and works up a sweat, plus my muscles definitely know about it the next day!
Can't advise on what a good weight would be as I am puny and use tiny ones but am sure you will get good advice on this from the lovely people here.
