Thanks for sharing! You look beautiful and healthy in all three, but you definitely seem even leaner. Congratulations on all of your hard work, and thanks for the motivation!

You know Ms Panda, you DO look really wonderful! You are truly motivating. And best of all, you're even more wonderful on the INSIDE! Thank you for sharing!

Wow...Ms. Redpanda...kudos to you. I think you have found the physcial fountain of youth! ( running out now to get heavier kettlebell!) Please post your program!

You have just motivated me RedPanda to re-visit kettlebells, again. I want the same (well, similar) results that you got! You look noticeably leaner in recent pix, and from your post it sounds like you attribute it mostly to kettlebells? How often do you do kbells, and what do you do?

Hi Chaplyn and Usia - My program is nothing special, just throwing in a kettlebell workout once a week to my strength training program, in addition to cardio. Because I have a previous shoulder injury, I have to be careful to not overtrain my upper body, so each week, I usually do:

* total body heavy strength training at the gym x 1
* a cardio/weights circuit, or metabolic training, DVD x 1
* kettlebell DVD x 1

I finished a round of P90X2 this morning, so I start a new rotation next week. This will be an upper/lower split with Steve Maxwell using double bells, plus heavy strength training at the gym, and Brooklyn Bridge Bootcamp as my cardio/strength workout.

I saw good results after adding in cardio/weights circuits or metabolic training DVDs, but credit the kettlebells for leaning out my lower body.

Tytbody - I'm 56½
