DaddyPig Bob has a video on YouTube that shows the basic kettlebell moves which is supposed to be useful before starting his workouts. The reviews of his DVDs say they make JM look like a walk in the park

oohdaddypig · 29/03/2014 06:52

What's wrong with skaters? A walk in the JM park compared to the hell that is press ups!

Off on hols - NMTZ packed. Am I desperately sad?

Also just received delivery of bob's kettlebell workout which I shall try and report back on... But not for another week or so.

yadahyadah · 28/03/2014 20:40

Flipping heck. D1 L2 30DS. Ow. Ow. Ow. However, I did it.

I've got a 6-pack... of uncooked white bread rolls Grin

Oh. I've just done KB&T L1D2. I'm not golden!

IdkickJilliansAss · 28/03/2014 17:09

One of my close friends is a personal trainer abd she told me that it is on the rest days that the magic happens so we're all golden!

spinningirl10 · 28/03/2014 17:02

hi ladies,

I'm taking a rest day as well today. I hardly slept last night and when the alarm went off at 6am I switched off and had another hour in bed :)

Will be back at it tomorrow!

IdkickJilliansAss · 28/03/2014 15:17

I haven't done anything either, DS has been unsettled so I'm having a rest

Lindt70Percent · 28/03/2014 14:57

GeorginaWorsley, I hated those skater things too. It was not pretty when I was doing those!

IdkickJilliansAss - Over a stone is amazing! I've lost 6lbs. I'm sure I could lose more if I stopped eating chocolate and drinking wine. Also, I haven't done a JM session today. H decided to work from home again which always cramps my style.

GeorginaWorsley · 28/03/2014 13:35

Done L2 again today.
I don't like the skater things though at all.
May do NMTZ later or tomorrow for a change.

IdkickJilliansAss · 28/03/2014 12:43

I tried it once and gave up, at least you persevered

Lindt70Percent · 28/03/2014 12:39

IdkickJilliansAss Grin I am traumatised! Still got big bruises on one leg from whacking it with my 2.5kg weight while staggering around my bedroom trying to keep up. Ooo, having flashbacks.

IdkickJilliansAss · 28/03/2014 11:26

Mines a wrinkly six pack Grin I've lost just over a stone since January on the plus side

StuntNun · 28/03/2014 11:07

I'm pretty sure I already have a six pack, it's just a very well cushioned six pack. Wink

IdkickJilliansAss · 28/03/2014 10:28

Lindt is traumatised by L2 6w6p Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 28/03/2014 10:11

Ri30 L2 D 9 done. I'll move on to L3 next week.

Georgina, I've done shred 3 times now - but doing it better/bigger weights/more intensely each time. Nowt wrong with that if it suits you!

G&T - yes, Ri30 is about the same length as shred. L1 is maybe a bit easier than L3 of shred but it gets harder so I reckon it's a good one to move on to.

Lindt70Percent · 28/03/2014 10:02

GandTnow, I would recommend level 1 of 6W6P for belly wobble! Can't recommend level 2 though. It's quite a bit longer than the Shred - about 35 mins I think.

Nightwish · 28/03/2014 09:59

Ri30 is the same time as Shred GandT.

level 3 of Shred done today, not sure what now as I did level 1 yesterday. Actually found it ok today and did most of the Natalie moves (apart from the press ups - too weak and feeble for those!)

Everyone seems really motivated and it's keeping me going too. Wondering what to do after the Shred. The other JM DVDs seem to be a lot longer and I must admit it is the 20 min thing that has kept me going this far. Any suggestions? Also any advice on shifting the belly wobble, certainly it is reduced but still there and still annoying!! Grin

Lake fly - I have that fat on my tum too in plank. I think it's weak abs as much as anything?!

Has anyone done JM whilst TTC? I took it easy tonight NMTZ gently done and no jumping.

I'm not sure i could give up all exercise :)

GeorginaWorsley · 27/03/2014 22:03

I've done 30 DS but gone back to beginning as I enjoy level one!
Wimp,I know.
I've lost nearly a stone though combined with MFP.
I like the 20 min thing,and usually do a 30/45 min walk every other day at least.
I feel much fitter anyway.

StuntNun · 27/03/2014 21:39

30DS L2D10 done and I'm ready to move on to level 3. I'll have to do 13 days at level 3. Will I be shredded at the end of it ?

I gave the kettlebell a go today which was fun. I hadn't realised that you don't lift it with your arms all the time so much as push up with your legs and basically just hold on to it while your legs do all the work. The 8kg kettlebell was too heavy for some of the one-handed lifts so I have ordered a 4kg one from Amazon with my last pennies. I did wonder if the 8kg one would be too heavy but I thought it would be better to get one that was too heavy that I would be able to use later on, rather than get one that's too light and isn't going to last me for long.

yadahyadah · 27/03/2014 21:38

D10 L1 30 DS. Woo hoo. How bad can level 2 be? Don't answer that. Well, I am feeling a bit more positive about myself after a very sedentary winter. Thank you GandTnow for getting me on this JM jag. My adoration of her will surely get me through...
LakeFlyPie check the washing machine, in my house, whenever something gets lost, it's always in the fkg washing machine...
