Exercise Challenge - *March 2012*

[daisybell18]

1 hour walking for me ( more like clambering through the woods) have been picking Barlauch aka wild garlic. It is a real delicacy in Austria and makes a fab risotto.

As you will see my exercise levels have dipped in March after a great start in Feb. I had a months free gym membership as a trial and have decided not to take it up. The gym is 40 mins away and I am not confident I will keep it up when the novelty has worn off. I would have to commit for a year.

So I have decided to give kettlebells a try. Sent for a DVD today but need some advice. What weight do I start with? Reading on the net there appear to be different schools of thought. Can anyone help?

Hi Daiseybell, I love the kettlebells - I bought the Kettleworx set. I purchaed a 10lb bell but when it arrived I thought it was too heavy so purchased a 3kg bell (which I used for the first 2 weeks) - Have started my 3rd week and am using the 10lb more than the 3kg.

1 hour 15 mins for me please

Hi Sue, the other day should have been 1h45mins, but I think you only added the 45? Sorry to be a pain x

 

[Kat1e]

Morning all. 1 hour zumba for me today. We do the cool down outside looking at the river and watching the rowers - what a fabulous day

 

[kirstym]

30mins for me this morning - running with the dog (he is much fitter than me )
