I like to mix it up, and consider this a 'cardio' day workout, so I don't need anything too heavy. I love the functional aspect of it, and I just for some reason cannot get into my TLTs anymore. KBs have become my FF workout of choice, and YOGA of course. Hard Core KB users don't seem to care for this one because it is too 'wimpy'. Ha! Put your body into it and tell me it is wimpy! Though I will admit that my fitness level is down right now. ON the surface I look pretty much the same, but my endurance and strength have suffered in the tax season. A Lot of time at the desk, and much less time in the gym for the last several months, so maybe my opinion will change when I am at full force again, but I hope not! Edited to add: I don't want to insinuate that kb (kickbox) side crunch moves are bad or you shouldn't do them! For me, I prefer a more pinched waist, but ANY firm strong core is good, and I would rather be more straight up and down and have great abs than to be soft. I am sure not insulting Chalenes abs, but I do see this little thick area that is caused by those bends that I don't like as it makes my waist gain inches. But they are not BAD inches, no muffin top, just a 'wider' strength. Anything that encourages a strong core is good, so keep on keepin on, this was a strictly personal observation for ME, so hopefully I won't be blasted too hard with "how can you SAY those are bad", haha, they are not.

I just ordered the set form QVC. I had it before (the deluxe from the kettlenetics website) & sold it. At the time, I was into heavier strength training and traditional kbell routines & didn't think this was 'enough'.
Now I am doing more endurance, AWT and barre, yoga and pilates so I think these routines would be perfect! I did order a 9# Cap Kbell from Dick's Sporting Goods to use with it. (My lightest is a 12# which I'm sure will be too heavy for some moves.) The list price was $12 & change but with shipping it was about $23. One of the less expensive kbells I've found! |

Today I think I am going to try the disc with ballet something written on it. Those little leg lift types of moves KILL me, so that means I really need them. Today is the first day that I have not been sore since, when did I do that kettlenetics? On monday?

With doing CLX, I could use the 8# for some of the moves but for most of them, without hurting myself, 4# was the safest to use. Kettlenetics isn't a traditional kettlebell workout so you don't want to go heavy. I never injuried myself doing Kettlenetics but I did irritate my neck/shoulder doing regular kettlebells. Someday I need to find a class to take to work on my form if I ever want to do kettlebells regularly.
