Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
Your the bomb! Congratulations. Hope your feeling better these days.
My greatest respect for you, as 50lb Kettlebells swings at CrossFit training WOD are ALWAYS the routine that make me puke and almost pass out!
I keep thinking of you effortlessly spinning them around like paper weights, while your pregnant!

Thanks so much for commenting on my blog. That was really nice. :)
I wouldn't go that far saying they feel like paper weights. 8-) Glad you are doing swings though. Thanks again!
I guess your dreams are telling you what you need to do. 8-) It's time to try kettlebells. Let me know if you have any questions on getting started.
Great dream by the way! Was I tough on you? LOL
I found your videos on liftkettlebells.com, and those have been super helpful.
When first beginning most of the women I start with use an 18lb but many are able to swing a 26lb right away. You may be fine with the 20lb with the background you have told me. But for some overhead lifts to begin with it might be challenging.
Even if a bell ends up getting too light for you there are always other exercises you can do with it. There ways to make it more challenging. I am always using different weights for different exercises. Let me know if you have any questions.
So glad to hear the video clips have been helpful to get you started. Once your form comes together you will really start enjoying yourself and see some wonderful results. 8-)
I got a kettlebell yesterday, and received your DVD in the mail today. Can I just say, the 12 minute workout is AMAZING!!!!! Thank you!
That's awesome that you already got a chance to do one of the workouts. So glad you loved it. Thank you very much. Enjoy!

Quick question, since I have been on such a long hiatus with my fitness training, would you recommend the 10lb or 12lb? I'm thinking one of those two would be ideal for a beginner kettelbell'r like me and the fact I havent lifted a weight in over a year. :-O
Congratulations and thank you! I recommend you starting with a 16 or 18lb bell. You will be surprised at how strong your hip power is. I have started my 65 year old women swinging an 18lb bell. So I have complete faith that you can use at least a 16lb bell for most exercises. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Feel free to email me as well at Lauren@socaltrainer.com
Your site is just so great and very inspiring. I am sure it keeps you very motivated as well.
It does seem like a lot. But when you are swinging it with your hips it should feel on the light side. If you are a bit intimidated then you can try the 15 or 16 pounder to be on the safe side.
