As my last weigh-in day of January, I’m counting this as the last day of the challenge month. I reached 10000 swings on Wednesday and continued regular weights workouts and even got in 5000 and 10000 steps on the good weather days we had this week. Assessment of the 10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge: I definitely …

10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge COMPLETE!
Yes I made it to 10000 kettlebell swings! I finished today with 400 swings with just the 40lb-er. This Sunday, weekly weigh-in day, I will post a wrap up of the results of the month. Well, the three weeks it took! My hands stood up quite well. My callouses are fine, my hands did not …
Kettlebell Weight Loss Challenge: One More Pound
Sunday morning is weigh-in time and I’m down one more pound in what seems to have become the Kettlebell Weight Loss Challenge. That seems to fit considering it’s the third week and I lost FOUR pounds last week! I’m amazed in general! I figure I can keep going with it or let myself eat a …
Killer Kettlebell Cardio!
Today I combined kettlebell swings with high intensity intervals on the manual treadmill for killer kettlebell cardio! I really liked it; I was able to keep my breathing and heart rate high while getting nicely sweaty. I can’t believe I’ve got less than 1000 kettlebell swings to complete the 10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge! I’ve been …
Kettlebell Swings Challenge Home Stretch!
Eleven days left in the month and just 1500 swings left to go! Clearly I’ll put down the 10000 kettlebell swings challenge and then BREAK THROUGH! I usually take Sunday off so I could finish this next Tuesday, how about it? I’m very interested to see if I’ve lost more weight this week. Someone told …
The Advantage of Kettlebell Cardio!
Through the 10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge my cardio efficiency has definitely improved. I’ve got the usual love/hate thing with cardio. I don’t want to stand on some machine and I’ve never been able to run, not even when I was a kid. I have climbed the stairs in my building but I get tired of …
The Daily Diet that’s Causing Weight Loss
I’ve lost half my bodyweight so for the rest of my life I will eat a very health-supporting diet to maintain it. Thanks to the BodyBugg, I know that my basic daily metabolism rate is only around 1450 to 1500 calories a day if I don’t do a workout. That would be a day of …
Kettlebell Weight Loss for Week 2!
I am really amazed! I am down FOUR POUNDS for week two of the 10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge! As I wrote last week, I did not start the Challenge with the intention of losing weight. I have not changed anything I do regularly except high volume kettlebell swings EVERY DAY!!! I’m actually surprised that I …
High Burn Day!
My total calorie burn for yesterday, calculated midnight to midnight, was 1766. I knew it would be a Low Burn Day as I did not make it out for a walk and I sat in a chair writing for HOURS. Today is destined to be a High Burn for sure! Did my usual weights workout …
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 …
