is losing for shoes
LOL Kron, I know I'll suffer on thursday for saying that!!! I had another little play with the bells this evening (abs 
) so I'm hoping the inches are melting away. I've deliberately avoided measuring until I finish the programme second time round so I hope its a nice surprise for me

Well swingers.....WEEK 6 CARDIO DONE...ROUND 1 KETTLWORX DONE Such a good feeling( apart from the burn in my arms and thighs right now lol)
Just thought I'd do a quick review for the benefit of people who might be interested in starting Kettleworx.
Pros - 20 minute 3 x per week sessions - no matter how busy and pushed for time you are I think ANYONE can commit to 1 Hour per week!
You don't need much space at all as there are no 'aerobics' style moves that have you leaping all over your lounge!
QUICK RESULTS!!! I had noticable results after just 2 weeks and have continued to lose inches over the 6 week period( I'll post my latest progress pics with before/after on Friday)
Improvement in strength and general fitness ( I have to climb LOADS of stairs every day and can do it without getting out of puff now. )
Variety - Each week you revist old moves which is good as it allows you to become familiar but there are also new moves slipped in which keeps it fresh.
Fun - There is just something about swinging that bell that makes it so enjoyable and a great way to de-stress!!
Ryan - We love him really
The main areas of my body where I have noticed the best results are my abs, hips and thighs. My arms look more toned but defo not manly muscle and my chest looks more bony(for want of a better word, in a nice way not horrible posh spice bony lol)
Cons - Th Kettleworx programme is quite expensive and inital outlay for buying the bells do add up but i'd happily pay it again and you have sooo many exercises that you can revisit! Of course you don't have to buy the dvds there are great links from Kron you can get on Youtube.
bruises - I'm covered lol It takes a bit of practice getting into the 'swing' of the bells plus i'm generally quite clumsy and bruise like a peach!!
weight sts/gain - This happened to me a few weeks in row but seems the scales are moving again. Can be quite frustrating when you are sticking rigidly to a 'diet' plan but bear in mind I was still losing inches which is just as important.
So in conclusion, the pros far outweigh the cons...happy swinging!!

Mapanoy exercise will help with weight loss, some experience a sts or gain when starting a new regime, but that disappears once your body adjusts. When i started the bells i lost every week, so never had the problem of a sts or gain
Donzy lol how are you doing x
Numnum put your feet up and get well, we all miss having you around, but want you to be healthy and happy first and foremost
Hi Lady A I would suggest you use your 4kg for all your routines, dropping down to your baby bell if needed. Use your cardio, resistance and core 3 times a week, and use your legs & thighs, fast burn and fast abs (short 10 min workouts) inbetween days or after one of the main 3 workouts
girlandthesea It gets better everyone agrees that week 1 cardio is the worst ever lol

Evening Swingers! - wk5 Resistance done! Working different hours this week so I'm a day ahead of myself. Friday will be the start of Wk6 - whoop whoop!! Although it will be Cardio - booooooo!
GirlandtheSea - Cardio Wk1 is a total killer and it does get better, honest. This is the woman that did the Introduction workout on a Saturday followed by Wk1 Cardio on the next day - and it was the same bloody workout. I thought I was going to die!!
Cannot believe I am about to start Wk6. I would encourage any lurkers on the thread to get some bells and start swinging - its brill!
Catch ya later peeps - off for a shower and then lasagne and a mahoosive salad for tea. Nom nom nom!

I thought Id start with cardio and get it out the way!
After about an hour I did feel better and am feeling much better about it all again now and ready for core on Friday
My routine is get up, have a breakfast then dvd, what would you recommend I eat before exercising? I was thinking a slice of toast and some fruit? Then wait half hour then go for it?

Numnum get better soon pal - get plenty irn bru( diet ) down your neck and take it easy, the bells can wait
I feel like my reputation is being seriously tarnished on here ladies!!Sue im going sue you for slander
Girlandthesea IT GETS EASIER!!! Honestly you have the hardest one out the way now Good luck! The brekkie you're having sounds good to me, I normally have a banana to give me some energy if I'm pushed for time before working out as it doesn't lie in my stomach but gives me a boost!
