What did you end up getting in AOS' 12 days sale?

I think I showed super-human amounts of restraint and only ended up getting Newport.

However, I will probably cave in to the free shipping sale at Perform Better and get another 12kg KB before the year is out. :D
 
No super-human restraint here:eek: I picked up Providence, Newport and KBWAY-ES. I saved $30 so I figured it was a logical decision;)

I had pretty much everything I was interested in already, but I picked up his new manual (whatever that one is called).
 
Newport for me. I'm thinking this is probably not the best one to start with though.

I have pretty much all I need right now too, so I didn't get anything. I did almost cave in for Firepower and recently I've almost caved to CLX (different thread) although it's been tough resisting. All DH can do when I mention wanting another workout is to :rolleyes:.
 
Providence and Newport for me.:) I also bought a 18# and 26# Apollo Kettlebell at Play it again Sports for a decent price.
 
I got Newport! Won't be starting it yet though until after STS in Jan., then I'll do it. I have my exercise work, cut out for me this year, I swear!:)

I bought Providence, and a 25# kb (at another website).

Budget concerns prevented me from getting anything else. I am digging Providence though.

Lots!

Newport, a pro-style 12kg (26-lb) KB, and the Workbook. Okay, maybe not lots, but it adds up after a while!

I'll admit; I was a click-a-holic on AOs for those 12 days! But I'm having so much fun!

My husband thinks I'm crazy; he's afraid I'm going to get hurt. He's got a point -- KBs look scary and proper technique is so important, but I've been studying the tutorials.

For new kettlebellers: I also got a great KB reference book from Amazon.com: The Great Kettlebell Handbook. It's only 64 pages, but has lots of great instruction on safety and technique. Also has step-by-step photos (in color!) so you can see the move broken down.
 
I caved and bought Providence, Newport, Empire State, and Clinic 1 since I'm new to KB's and want to make sure I'm practicing proper form.

Merry Christmas to me.:D
 
I ordered the ropes. I've been wanting them forever, and passed on them the first time they went on sale during the 12 Days of Christmas sales. But then, when everything went on sale again, I heard that little voice say, "Here's your sign!"

Can't wait for them to get here!

Heh heh...I made the exact same purchase! I too am new to KB's and bought exactly what you bought! And I too am saying Merry Christmas to me! :) Great minds think alike!

Money is tight and even with the discounts AOS stuff is pricey. I already had Providence (which has made me wicked-sore THREE TIMES now) and I just got Newport. Can hardly wait (knees knock with fear)...

Thanks. This is good to know about.

I got that one, too.
It even has some good info I haven't seen elsewhere (or haven't remembered from elsewhere), like what size (thickness) handle is best for each person (you should be able to wrap your middle finger over your thumb, or vice versa).
 
I couldn't help myself and since I cancelled my STS preorder, I stocked up on KB DVDs instead:

Providence
Newport
Firepower
Santa Monica
Empire State

I've only done Providence so far and love it so I'm pretty sure I'll like the others.
