Today was the Premix 1 from the KCM dvd, 31 minutes with no swings. The back of the dvd said 5 and 7 pounds for beginners. I used 8 and 10. I think advanced was 15 and 25! KCM moves very slow compared to Jessica, so I think I can go even heavier. I had to modify the cardio to low impact, but it was a small part of the workout. I did like it, but I don't feel it was as effective as Jessica. Lighter weights moving fast can really wear you out. I'm going to have to use the 10 pounds for the whole workout. I don't have anything heavier, or a kettlebell. I think that will be my birthday present, which is in three weeks, a kettlebell!
And no ab floor work which was good. I tried the floor ab work on the yoga strength you tube on Monday, and my lower back has been bothering me ever since. With stretching and massage, it's not too bad, but enough to nix the ab work. So, I think the KCM is a keeper, for a change of pace. I don't usually like anything but Jessica, but I really need something new. I can't wait until she releases her new workouts.
Donna, if one cannot do floor ab work, is Pilates an option? I always assumed I'd have to skip it, as I can't do crunches or leg lifts for ab work.
