Since kettlebells started to become known, a lot of people have tried to make a buck by passing themselves off as experts with various workouts and products. Like the overwhelming majority of weight loss and fitness products that are mass-marketed, these will overpromise and underdeliver. They are generally little more than aerobics with handweights. They …
I am not generally working toward weight loss but it would appear I dropped two pounds this week. I weigh every Sunday morning. I was delightfully surprised! I did not change my usual diet at all which is decidedly quite health-supporting and I did my usual weights workouts. Put this in perspective. My weight has …
The strain I’d felt in my wrist seems OK. I left out the 65lb-er today and did two-handed kettlebell swings with the 40lb-er. Alternating hand to hand with the quarter pounder of course. Got in a good weights workout this morning! I broke up the swings by doing 200 after the weights and 400 later …
Another busy day but it was beautiful in Chicago, a freaky 55° day with sun and lovely breezes. I got out for a four-mile walk. Another chapter put down in my book today! I’m trying to control my tendency to edit-edit-edit! I can fuss over every word. Got 400 kettlebell swings in. I am feeling …
I hate “tips”. They’re generally used as marketing tools to engage a reader and get you to sign up for something. Website and magazine editors who write “tips” are just looking for content.

My day was very busy but I wouldn’t miss! I had to top 2000 today. Threw down 400 kettlebell swings this evening!
I am working on integrating more kettlebell swings with the 65lb-er. Today I lined up the 65lb-er, the 40lb-er and the quarter pounder and did 10 swings each up to 100. I alternated in single-handed swings of the 40. I usually do 200 kettlebell swings at a time but today I did increments of 100 …
You’ve heard of pumping iron! Nothing will make you feel more outright BAD ASS than THROWING IRON! Imagine the power and control of throwing huge hunks of black iron into the air, like the circus strongman juggling cannonballs! Thrill-seekers, add an element of dangerous tension to your workout! Throw around 65lbs of pure iron beast, …
I read about the 10K Kettlebell Swing Challenge last year on Kettlebellinc.com. I started high-volume swing routines in December with plans to launch into the Challenge for 2012. What better time!! I remember that doing 100 swings seemed tough the first few times but I adapted to it rapidly. I use a Polar Heart Monitor …
