Hi Marianne,
I’m a 53-year old guy from Hungary. I’ve been doing kettlebells since some 2 years, and I’ve been following your site for quite a long while. I’m really not the kind who leaves comments all the time, but now I feel it’s just unfair to you to just watch and learn from you all the time without letting you know how much
knowledge, inspiration, enthusiasm and energy I receive from you.
I don’t talk out of politeness.
I love your frankness, kindness and perseverance.
Believe me, it didn’t come out of me easy, but I thought you deserve to know this.
There might be many more with the same feelings.
With love,
Laszlo

PS: I know that the energy and love I’m pushing to you is reaching you to help you whatever imperfect my English may be.
You are on the best possible way.

Hi Marianne,
I´ve just found your site, through You Tube. It´s so refreshing to see you getting such great results. I´ve been working with kbs for a while, and have been teaching myself with DVDs, including Pavel’s. I’m really enjoying seeing your progress, and your workouts. It’s a great inspiration to someone who works out on their own at home. I’ve just got the Gymboss interval trainer too, so am hoping to play around with that soon. I’m no way as fit as you, but my goal is to be fitter and more focused. I’m in my late forties (god, makes me sound old) so my objectives are to be strong, be flexible, and to learn good form. Thanks again for your workouts and comments. I will be dropping in regularly to see what’s new, and be inspired to try and be a bit more focused myself.

In reply to Ed.

Hi Ed, My main goal is to lose a bit more body fat (vanity really I guess). I would like more definition in my legs. My upper body is fine, but, being female, from the waist down is more of a challenge 🙂

Now, pistols – yes they are hard on the knees at the start until you get good at them and the stabilising muscles in the leg get strong enough. I hope to have evenly strong legs. Pistols are only one of the exercises I do though – so my knees aren’t strained a lot. Squats and plyo jumps are good too, but I like a bit of variety and a challenge.

Haven’t heard of FitDeck but workouts don’t need to be complicated. Just think of 4 or 5 exercises and put them together in an order that won’t hit the same area twice in a row, then repeat them in rounds for however many minutes. Or use your gymboss to do intervals. This is another goal of mine, that I can provide some inspiration to others for their workouts, for free 🙂

Cheers again for your support

Marianne

Still getting a lot from your site. Don’t know what your specific goals are, but I’d say you are there on the arms and shoulders. With regard to pistols, I’m no expert, but I do have a pair of 43 three year old knees and that thought that “I wished I’d done pistols in the past” has never once crossed my mind. I guess I’m throwing out the question of whether the results that can be obtained from pistols couldn’t be had from squats, plyo jumps etc., with less cranking on the joint.

Also, have you heard of FitDeck? I’m getting the basic and the kettlebell expansion pack as my mind seems to go blank when I’m trying to plan a workout.
