It’s ironic that my last post was about being too busy to exercise because for the last couple of months, I’ve been too busy to blog! But I am here and still keeping up with my exercise routine the best I can! I AM indeed very busy but I find that integrating exercise into my …

Kettlebell Swings Benefits from Technique
I was doing weights today and working rounds of kettlebell swings into my workout. I like to keep my heart rate up while lifting. I have cut back on the lower body weights exercises to avoid overtraining while doing the 10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge. I was thinking of the many benefits of the kettlebell swing! …
Two Pound Loss in this First Week
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 …
Weekend Swingin’!
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 …

Throwing Change
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 …
What’s Throwing Iron?
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, …
Throw a Kettlebell 10,000 Times!
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 …
