Shred It With Weights is out next month, is anyone thinking about doing it? I love my kettlebells so I was thinking about getting it but the reviews from Amazon US weren't all that great.

Theonlyoneiknow · 19/04/2014 09:18

Itls any of it available on YouTube?

StuntNun · 19/04/2014 10:29

I think level 1 is on YouTube.

spinningirl10 · 19/04/2014 15:31

Ooh stunt I will probably get that new one! I like using weights as well. Have you ordered from US before? I was going to get the yoga one that's only available from America, yoga meltdown I think it's called.

I've done KB&T L3 today.

IdkickJilliansAss · 19/04/2014 17:40

BFBM done, I added weights to make it harder and was a puddle of sweat at the end, nice. What's L3 KB&T like spinning? my toddler has secreted my KB&T and Ripped DVD's somewhere so I couldn't do it if I wanted to Grin

spinningirl10 · 19/04/2014 17:54

I like it Kick, there's not much upper body stuff if any which is why I like to get to the gym or do NMTZ for some extra stuff. I can see a difference in my bum and thighs so it does work! Actually looking forward to getting to the end of it and then i'll just mix all the dvds up a bit depending on what I fancy.
Off to read reviews for the new Shred it with Weights!

spinningirl10 · 19/04/2014 18:06

Just read some reviews and had a quick look at L1 on You Tube.....it looks good! I'm going to try and give it a go one day this week. I don't have a kettle bell and my heaviest weight is 4kg so I'll try it with that and see how I get on.

IdkickJilliansAss · 19/04/2014 18:51

I really like KB&T but have only dared to try L1!

StuntNun · 20/04/2014 07:03

Spinning I don't think you have to have a kettlebell to do SIWW, as far as I know you can do it with a dumbbell.

spinningirl10 · 20/04/2014 12:58

Thanks stunt I'll just give it a go with what I've gotGrin

I've done KB&T L3 and first 3 circuits of NMTZ!

ErrolTheDragonsEgg · 20/04/2014 13:07

I saw the SWIW pre-order when I ordered my NMTZ (and also 6W6P) the other evening - definitely sounds like one I'd be interested in.

Today is a shred/rip rest day but as it was nice this morning and DH was busy testing DD on yr10 physics I went for my second little run of the year. It's a half mile walk to and from the towpath, then I jogged out ... the swampy bit I usually have to stop at had dried out so I kept going... and then returned doing 'sprint'/walk intervals. Total on the towpath - for the first time ever - just over 5K. And my legs weren't tired at all. Yay! Grin

Happy Easter everyone!

ErrolTheDragonsEgg · 20/04/2014 13:08

(I meant SIWW, obv.)

spinningirl10 · 20/04/2014 14:09

Well done on the run Errol!

IdkickJilliansAss · 20/04/2014 14:32

I think i'm having a rest day from JM (not sure as the day is still young!) but I did a lot of body conditioning this morning whilst the kids watched Gnomeo and Juliet. Happy Easter all Smile

IdkickJilliansAss · 20/04/2014 20:01

Circuits 1, 3, 5, 6 & 7 of NMTZ done with hand weights added for a bit more burn

spinningirl10 · 21/04/2014 09:22

Haha kick so much for your JM rest day! Well done on adding weightsGrin

I've just done KB&T L3 and NMTZ circuits 2,4&5!!

IdkickJilliansAss · 21/04/2014 09:29

She reeled me in! Thats hardcore spinning If I ever find my KB&T dvd I am going to watch L3 from behind the sofa and decide whether its safe to come out.

spinningirl10 · 21/04/2014 10:10

haha, I swear everytime I'm doing it but always go back for more!! And this morning the heating was on so it was Bikram JM!!!

You wouldn't hide, you'd be there giving it your all!

oohdaddypig · 21/04/2014 21:49

i'dkick you are kidding right? I don't believe there is a JM challenge you haven't embraced!

BFBM done (mostly). Flaked out in last cardio section. Music made it feel like that film "Halloween" and freaked me out Grin

Theonlyoneiknow · 21/04/2014 22:46

Just did L2 of RI30. Really not sure!! All those plank exercises feel soooo hard on my arms! I was a bit disappointed overall with it so did L1 afterwards as well. Feel like L1 gave me a more overall workout. Will try Level 2 of ES&S later this week. KB&T is still unopened though!!

jan2014 · 22/04/2014 09:45

just started ripped in 30 a few days ago. hoping to stick to it this time. my fave JM workout is the kickboxing one on youtube, i find it easy and enjoyable, and trust me im not fit at all. on the days i can't be annoyed with RI30 i might get the motivation to do her kickboxing! i like them because they are short.

IdkickJilliansAss · 22/04/2014 18:30

Daddy L3 KB&T scares me because when I first started jm'ing I jumped straight in at L2 thinking it'd be a piece of cake and got a shock Grin Busy last day off school today so no JM but I have an hours circuit class tonight so that'll do

oohdaddypig · 22/04/2014 22:26

i'dkick I'm liking being called "daddy". Makes me want to say "who's the daddy" in a very American JM voice.

I'm intrigued and will now have to purchase KBT.

RI30L3 done. I really like it - current fave except for bloody duck walks

ErrolTheDragon · 22/04/2014 23:10

Daddy, I couldn't even do the shelley duck walks properly.

oohdaddypig · 23/04/2014 04:38

errol - me neither! Grin
