Jillian Michaels “Shred it with weights” kettlebell dvd review

I tried this Jillian Michaels workout for the first time and really liked it!! I used my empower kettlebell set that goes from 5 to 8 to 12 pounds.

Get ready for a fresh, dynamic way to work out! Jillian Michaels adds extra weight to her hard-core circuit training techniques for a total-body workout designed to burn maximum fat. Using a kettlebell or a single hand weight, Shred-It With Weights helps you build lean muscle and burn mega calories with two 30-minute boot camp workouts. Begin with Level 1 and progress to Level 2 for maximum body- shredding results. Stick with Jillian’s program for 30 days and you could see a lean, shredded body.

There are two level options. I did level 1. 

She has the modifier on the right. 

My son came down to my exercise area and saw me working out and said “hey I have one of these things” (kettlebell) and ran to get his and joined me! 🙂 

I REALLY enjoyed this workout!! If you don’t have a kettlebell, you can use a handweight which she also demonstrates in the dvd. The workouts are about 30 minutes long and kept my heart rate up the whole time. I can’t wait to do it again and then move to level 2.

THE MASON JAR Kindle Fire Giveaway from @JRLingerfelt and book review

I finished this book last night and I cried. It was a well written, emotional, heart felt story about a boy and girl in love, and the relationship between that same boy and his grandfather.

The story line was easy to follow even though it jumped back and forth a couple times from present day to the past. The book followed both Clayton and Eden’s life up to the present day. “Clean” book about love, hope and forgiveness.

About the book: 

What if your old college roommate called, raving about a book someone sent her, calling it the most beautiful book she’s ever read? “But,” she said, “it’s about you.” The author is your college ex.
In The Mason Jar, Clayton Fincannon is a Tennessee farm boy raised at the feet of his grandfather. He and his grandfather leave letters for each other in a Mason jar on his grandfather’s desk—letters of counsel and affirmation. When Clayton attends college in Southern California, he meets and falls in love with a dark debutante from Colorado. However, when an unmentioned past resurrects in her life and she leaves, Clayton is left with unanswered questions.
Clayton goes on to serve as a missionary in Africa, while he and his grandfather continue their tradition of writing letters. When Clayton returns home five years later to bury his grandfather, he searches for answers pertaining to the loss of the young woman he once loved. Little does Clayton know, the answers await him in the broken Mason jar.
A story about a girl who vanished, a former love who wrote a book about her, and a reunion they never imagined.
Written for the bruised and broken, The Mason Jar is an inspirational romance that brings hope to people who have experienced disappointment in life due to separation from loved ones. With a redemptive ending that encourages us to love again and written in the fresh, romantic tones of Nicholas Sparks, The Mason Jar interweaves the imagery of Thoreau with the adventures and climatic family struggles common toDances with WolvesA River Runs Through It, and Legends of the Fall

How does it work?
Each new season brings different product needs and a reason to refresh your beauty cabinet. In your Walmart Beauty Box, you’ll find sample beauty products and tips on how to use those and other items sold at Walmart and on Walmart.com. Receiving your Walmart Beauty Box will be another reason to welcome each new season.

Final Thoughts:
I liked my box! It was a great deal for what I got and I can’t wait to use these products and find out what’s in my box for next season.
