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 …

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 …
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 …

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 …

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 …
