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 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 …
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 …
Pounding Down the Kettlebell Swings Challenge!
I took the BodyBugg off today, sometimes I start feeling it and it bothers me! So I don’t know what my calorie burn is today but it will be a low burn day. I spent all day writing. I wrote all of TWO PAGES. My writer friend Jen commiserates. You work and work and sometimes you …
Best Laid Plans!
We had a near-blizzard in Chicago today. Most of the day the view from my windows here in the Steel Tower was Chicago’s famous horizontal snow. I did not go out of course but I did not do any treadmill walking or stair climbing. I got all absorbed in working again; I edited a three-chapter …
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 …
No Misses Allowed
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 …
Kettlebell Swing Challenge Tips
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. So I normally hate anything labeled as a “tip.” Nevertheless, I’m going to offer you a few of MY OWN tips!! Because …
Better Late
My day was very busy but I wouldn’t miss! I had to top 2000 today. Threw down 400 kettlebell swings this evening!
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 …
