Secret to shaping up

[Alkabel]

Kettlercise class done tonight with a new routine. Sweated buckets so hopefully doing me some good. Have the Kettlercise DVD so hoping to have a go with that by the weekend!

As a newbie, I am enjoying reading all the posts about everyones' experiences with kettlebells and all the hints, tips and advice. Very inspirational, thank you everyone

Did anyone have a weight gain after starting kettle bells, and if so, did you experience a decent loss in the following weeks?

Hiya Croc

I just posted before you about the exact same thing! I'm just into week 3 and I weighed this morning and put on 2 lb's (lost 5 lbs in previous 2 weeks) but although it kind of makes your spirits drop a bit - Ive read that this is perfectly normal as its your muscles becoming more dense because of the workout they are getting - muscle is more DENSE than fat!

I've been assured that if you keep at it you will see losses on the scales in next couple of weeks - and don't forget the inch loss, because of the muscle's becoming more dense we are becoming more lean and changing shape for the better

Oh boy, do I ache this morning! Does this get easier? Should I try a short session today or wait until the stiffness goes? I am not a great exerciser, can you tell?

When I 1st started, I did 2 kettercise classes a week mon and wed.. Seemed enough time to recover.. But the next day when I was so stiff I did some walking and stretches

Hi Trash,

The reason I ask is because I have been doing SW for 16 months and have lost 2 stone so far but still have about 1.5 stone to go (I am a slow loser!).

I have tried everything except sticking to some kind of workout, then I came across Kron's thread about Kettle Bells and I was so amazed and excited I ordered some...

Last Tuesday at weigh in, I lost 1lb (expected more), an last night I gained 0.5lb! Am only just starting wk2 on Kettleworx today so who knows...

Hi I had a gain 1st week, and then mostly STS for 3 weeks, then a big drop week 4 talked to my kettercise instructor and she said that was a normal patten for some people when they do kettlebells and STICK to a healthy eating plan!

 

[Shirleen]

I tend to either have small gains/losses or STS whenever I start exercising, but will keep exercising

I have done wk 2 Cardio on KW programme today and I am pleased to say it's quite alot easier than wk1- Phew!!! I really loved it

Hiya Croc

I'm a slow loser as well can go weeks at STS then loose a pound the weeks of STS and so on but KB seem to have prompted scale movement
and I'm sure we will see the benefits very soon both on the scales and clothes wise

Hi Trash,

Yeah, I'm sure something will start moving soon, it has too! I can definitely see and feel a difference already though, that's seems crazy but it's true.

It is so frustrating hearing about the progress you are all making. I can barely move I am so stiff so will have to wait until tomorrow for my first proper kettlercise session

Aww i was like you after my first session - was awful could hardly walk up and downstairs! Think it lasted about 3 days but i did do the 8 min abs as it was mainly my legs that were hurting!

Hope it improves soon
