          Please let us know any updates. There were huge differences in my quality of life after I started it

          If you're new to home workouts via DVD, I recommend watching the workouts first without attempting anything and then starting it all over again and working alongside

          First lesson is Diamond Dozen, btw

            I've not done yoga before but my wife has. However I've lifted in the past and had good results.

            My weight is at about 166-167 but my body fat % is higher than I'd like. Like to get to 160 which is what I was at in the best shaped of my life. Will keep the thread posted with my results.

                Just got caught up on this thread. Great post a few pages back Doug, and everybody keep up the great work. For kettlebells I really like http://www.dragondoor.com/shop-by-department/kettlebells/ and http://www.lifelineusa.com/products/kettlebells.html
                they do cost more, but lifelong investment, why not buy the best?
                Whatever you do, do it safe, and enjoy it!

                  no, and again no  😃

                  Get these. Or similar shaped.  Way more balanced and the shape of the handle is good for everybody. Also it helps that you always use same size kettlebell, whatever it weights.

                    I actually prefer the pavel-style kettlebell handles, with a slight angle:

                        The angled horns make for a very comfortable grip when you're doing two handed work

                            Starting the day with some bulletproof coffee. Mmm

                            French press quality beans. Blend with coconut butter & MCT oil. Am now ready for the day.

                                    Actually started eating breakfast, mostly protein shakes. In doing so, I'm not binging for lunch or dinner and eating crap. Started bringing my lunch to work and not leaving crap food there.

                                      Small changes can lead to big results - well done.

                                      I'm trying to take some weight off at the moment and it's amazing how eating more often can make you lose weight. I've added a 'pre-breakfast' and it's helping me manage my cravings later in the day.

                                        Nice bagley :). No knocking the knock on effects. And what will come from that :).

                                        zwer; next you'll be having second breakfast & elevenses ^__^

                                        Kettle Bells still going well here. Each week noticing very small improvements. Noticing it's helping with my general alignment, which is awesome. In terms of the bells I purchased, I purchased whatever I could get my hands on @ the local sporting good store , they seem pretty close to Doug's original recommendation  (no seams under the handle, no welding around the joins etc).

                                          Thanks to all here, you've inspired me to completely change it up.  I've been wanting to do something different than the lifting/running I've been doing for 8 years.  I'm commiting to Skoggs system alternating with yoga for the next year.

                                            Let me know how you progress either here or via PM. I think you'll be pleased with the results

                                            My son continues to lose inches around his waist and I'm having a lot of fun with his Virtual Skogg workouts. Steven just did a one handed deadlift with an 50lb kettlebell stacked on top of an 80lb kettle bell. Pretty impressive.
