Marching 4th with a New Giveaway!

As you probably know from my training recaps, I’ve been spending considerable time with the KettleWorx DVD Series.

That’s where this set comes in, It gives you EVERYTHING you need and more to transform yourself into a lean mean fat burning machine. I am no stranger to working out with weights but the kettle bell gave me a workout that was challenging and different from anything I’d done before.

  3. after weights sessions i add ab work when there is time. also love the "pilates core & more" class at my gym.

  6. I've always been intrigued by the the kettlebell workouts! Awesome!

    I keep my core strong by doing balance work on a rocker board, using bands for strength training, and laying/sitting on a ball instead of bench whenever possible while lifting weights.

  8. I do yoga to keep my core strong however I really would like to add some resistance or weight training to that.
    Kettle bells are awesome! I would love to win this!

  15. I keep my core strong by eating healthy food, lifting weights, and doing sit ups and planks every other night!

  17. Right now I am not doing enough to strengthene my core. This is a new goal for me…add core and strength training to my workout schedule! I plan to do mostly crunches and push-ups etc, stuff I don't need extra equipment for. Would love to try this though!

  20. I've wanted to try kettleballs forever! I use a stability ball now to work my core.

  25. I need to be better about core strengthening. I do ab work (crunches etc) a few time a wk and I do a little yoga. But its not really enough.

  26. This is the best giveaway EVER! I have always wanted to try Kettlebell but don't really know where to start. PICK ME, PICK ME!

    I have to confess, I'm pretty lazy with my Core. Though I am trying to get better! One thing someone suggested is to do things while standing on one leg – dishes, brushing teeth, ironing, etc. It strengthens the ankles and works your core (balance).

  27. I rely on pilates and yoga. And I've recently started Zumba which is a heck of a lot more ab work than I thought. Its great!

  32. It's funny this giveaway came up today – I have been working really hard on my core with lunges, the balance ball and ab work for the last week (until I got sick) and am creating my own challenge/giveaway this week! I hope I win!!! I really want to try this!

  33. I haven't found anything I really like to use about keeping my core strong. I switch back and forth with a couple things. I've tried Kettle Bell work outs in the past and I love them!

  35. Ohh…I would love to win this! What I do to keep my core strong is different core workouts I've gathered over the years. I try to do them several times a week, but I know I need to do them more frequently. I also do yoga!

  40. And I am a follower. Question for you – I would love to do giveaways like this on my blog. How do you get businesses to send you stuff?

  43. I try to do yoga, but I'm looking for other ways to motivate myself to strengthen my core!

  47. Love this giveaway. For core strength I mostly do body weight exercises. (mostly pushup and planks) I definitely need to mix it up!

  49. Okay I am going to be totaly honest. I try really hard to do my core but I must admit it tends to get neglected. I know I know, bad me. Thats why I really need to win to get new motivation. Hey I posted a link to your blog from my blog your welcome to check it out. HOpe you getting better!!

  51. I do two core workouts a week with a variety of different exercises: woodchops, UH unilateral pull downs, t-pushups, ab crunches, reverse ab curls, hammers…. just to name a few.

  52. I do some core training a few times a week, but sometimes, not often enough. THose include simple body exercises like pushups, situps, etc. I am thinking about trying the P90X system. My brother did that while he was in Iraq. BTW, I dont want to sound ignorant, but what is an A-Lister? lol.

  54. I do push-ups and planks to keep my core strong. Once upon a time (and hopefully in the near future) I did yoga as well.

  60. I try some oblique work and lower ab crunches on my non-running days to keep that core strong!

  71. Although inconsistent, I try to do core exercises using a ball. Plus a few planks worked in here and there. Sign me up!

  75. I use versa balls, bosu balls and all combinations of the two to work on strengthening and balancing my core.

  77. I do ballet and various other exercies for my abs. I am trying to be better about doing planks-they help a ton, I just don't like them

  80. I love p90x and keeping great posture while I'm running always works that core!!!

  81. I suck at core work. I really need to get back in the habit of sit ups at least.

  84. I'm an A lister…but it shows up as my husband???? I don't know how to change it…super bummer! When I figure out how to fix it I will be back to follow also!!!!!

  87. You have peaked my curiosity with all your talk of KettleWorx – now I need to see for myself 🙂

    I am a loyal follower!

  91. Secrets to a strong core? Laughing, and lots of it! And weightlifting helps too. 😉

  93. Ohh! I've been wanting to try the kettle bell but don't know what to do with it and they are sort of expensive. 🙁

    I really like doing the plank and side plank as opposed to traditional core work (crunches, etc.).

  96. I'm a follower! I have always done various core exercises, I lately returned to adding the stomach wheel to my routine and am thrilled by the results! I am very interested in this Kettleworx!

  97. Awesome giveaway, if this is open to uk readers please count me in, if not, I understand shipping would probs be awful

  100. I get core work in when I teach my Stroller Strides classes. Unfortunately, I only teach once every week or so. I want to start working more at home. My favorite core exercise is the plank!

  104. Wow!! Fabulous Giveaway! I seriously have been wanting to try kettleball work for some time now, but my gym doesn't have it, and those kettleballs can be expensive! So wow! thanks!

  105. To keep my core strong I am trying to do different ab work through the week. Some days it's the stability ball, some weights, etc.

  108. and I just tweeted, and forgot to tell you, I do the reg core work with a swiss ball and TRX

  116. I keep my core strong through 1000 crunches three times a week and Boot Camp once a week

  117. Diet, exercise and good old BOSU, which I must admit I am growing tired of. Kettleworx would make a nice change up.

  120. I do body combat at the gym that really works my core, and I just ordered the 30 Day Shred…hoping that will do something to shred this core…Riveria Maya in April…Could REALLY use the kettleball workout to get these post-mommy abs in shape!

  123. omg i have been wanting one of these for like a year.

    i tend to use one of the big balance balls or i do p90x core work. but a kettlebell would be awesome.

  125. Thanks for the opportunity! I make sure I do ab excercises atleast three times a week to keep my core strong!

  128. I try to keep my core strong by doing ab work three times a week, but sometimes my core feels a bit neglected. Maybe some KettleWorx will help me out 🙂

  130. I (STILL!) do nothing for my core. It's a giant vat of goo right now. Ok so it's flatter from the running, and spinning … but other then that (oh and the 45 minutes of CPR I did the other day that left me crippled in every muscle group ..) I still do NADA for core work. Hence the reason I'm entering your giveaway right now …

  131. A-lister right heeerrrreeee … (like Chingy now)

    Uhhhhh … Do I get a VIP pass or something for this?

  132. I tweeted just now @rachael_taylor

    (do you even twitter? if so, follow me and I'll follow you …)

  133. Holy Moley! I NEED this! I have a hard time keeping my core strong!!! I just do sit ups and crunches. Lame.

  134. I am a new A Lister! I thought I was already but I wasnt…not to fear, I am now!

    I'll link you up with my next post, I'll be back to let you know!

  136. I use a stability ball to keep my core strong with exercises that my PT gave me last year

  139. I keep my core strong by…okay, lately I've been neglecting my core but when I actually pay attention to it I like planks and turkish getups.

  141. Yoga helps keep my core strong. I also do crunches, sit-ups, and other ab work — but mostly yoga! Thank you for this great giveaway!

  142. I like to sit on an exercise ball and alternate holding one leg up at a time while I watch t.v. to keep my core strong.

  148. I do pilates to make my core strong. It is amazing how quickly pilates can work.

    ajolly1456 at gmail dot com

  153. Awesome giveaway 🙂 I have big dreams for 3 days a week of P90X for my core, but it rarely happens that often. I did planks for the first time today and they are HARD!

  154. A-lister checking in 😉 I just don't comment much lately because I was SO behind on my reader.

  157. Great giveaway! I've wanted to try this out, it looks/sounds like such a great workout!

    I mostly do crunches on an exercise ball and lots of planks. I really need to do more though to flatten my flabby core!!

  159. I always do 100 sit ups after any work out whether it is a class or a long run. I think it helps all areas of my abs and my body knows what it feels like since I do them lots and lots!

  160. I work the core nightly with floor exercises, bands, and stability ball work based on exercises I found in the Mark Verstegen Core workout book.

  161. I haven't entered it yet! What the heck was I waiting for?!

    Um, I used to do core work but lately the only action my gut is getting is from big laughs. (Isn't really that effective, by the way.)

  164. I take the abs classes at my gym, in addition to regular weights classes for added ab strength. They totally work.

  168. Please enter me in the drawing! I am an errant core worker outer who is trying to do better.
