    I'm bowing out of this thread for a while now, not that I've been much of a contributor of late but it's for a good reason - I've been offered another Zumba class which will mean I'm teaching 3 classes a week. I think the kettlebells on top of this plus practicing new routines might be a bit...

    I can't believe I have had a 4 week break - I am rubbish, but I've actually started week 3 and done the cardio. Worried that I won't be able to walk never mind teach a Zumba class tomorrow and Wednesday but I'm pleased that I've got back on the horse :) Trying not to think about the fact that...

    Hi guys! I was hoping to do week 3 Kettleworx this week but I've been in a stinker of a mood and haven't been able to motivate myself. Fingers crossed for tonight though Xx

    Hello! I have been AWOL for a bit - first I had a crappy viral infection, then I was on holiday for a week visiting Barcelona, Paris and London! I didn't take my kettlebells in the end - I'm glad as I wouldn't have done them anyway. I stuffed my face the whole time but I don't weigh myself so I...

    Well done everyone! And Cat Lover Sue!!! Woweeeeee!! I did KW week 2 core on Friday and resistance today - same as Croc. I do find the core the easiest of the three. Lots of balancing ones in resistance this time - those was hard. I could really feel my muscles working - especially in the...

    It definitely gets better! Just done Week 2 Cardio and whilst it was a toughie it was nowhere near as awful as Week 1 Cardio. Had to pause it a couple of times though!

    Week 1 Resistance done yesterday - so week 1 completed - yay! I found it harder than the Core and did have to pause it twice for a breather. V. proud of myself and even thinking of taking my kettlebell on holiday when we go away in 2 weeks so I can keep going! Nutter!

    Me too Croc! I was pleasantly surprised and managed to do it without pausing the DVD. When I did the Cardio I was pausing between each exercise in the 2nd set to lie on the floor in a heap! Well done us!

    Good morning! I feel in a lot less pain today so me and the mister are going to do Week 1 Core together. You might remember a while back that he put his back out quite badly the first time we tried kettlebells? Well he was in pain for about 5 weeks and ended up having to go see a chiropractor...

    I’m still here, been lurking mostly as I’ve been working on Zumba routines and haven’t lifted a kettlebell for ages. I bought the Kettleworx deal from Groupon and did the first workout on Tuesday – Cardio - dear Lord!!! It’s now Friday and I’m still hobbling round like an old woman. I think I’m...

    zumba joke, hope you like it.

    Yep I knew I recognised you, I was the beautiful lady's partner for the bad person/good person exercise! I recognised you off the forum when I saw you anyway! 2 hours of step touch sounds like a nightmare! I don't know about you but a few of us are now laid up with colds/sore throats and...

    Good morning If someone invented a shop that sold only between sizes - 11,13,15 etc. they would make a fortune! I did the Kettlercise Express 20 min workout again with the 4kg bell and can't believe how much I sweat - definitely sticking with it 3x per week for now and hopefully can build up...

    You all are lifting mega amounts - can't wait til I can move up a level. I just did the Kettlercise 20 min express DVD, despite still being a tad sore. Maybe I should have waited for my tea to go down a bit more though - I feel a bit green now!

    Zaggora weight loss hotpants?

    Are these the same as the Proskins leggings? I bought some of these a while back - apparently they are infused with caffeine to reduce cellulite. I suppose I should wear them really. I'll buy anything me!

    I agree, this is a brilliant app with everything you need on it for your weight loss journey.

    Which zumba

    I have the Exhilarate set - it has about 8 discs on it including Zumba Toning and Sentao (abs workout using a chair) - I think on eBay though, people buy the sets then sell off the individual DVDs.

    Is it possible to diet after an eating disorder?

    Hello I'm bookmarking this thread as I have to go out but I want to come back and read all the way through. It's taken me many years to realise that I can't "diet" any more - it's too dangerous. I have to go forward with a "healthy eating for life" approach, which isn't a quick fix by any...

    Kron - I know! What are they like? Always think they know best! The Kettlercise DVD even comes with an instructional section showing you the correct technique but he didn't want to watch it, he just wanted to jump straight in. I think using his 6kg would rub his face in it a bit - I'm up for...
