    I am so new to all this....I just started strong lifts 5×5. Are kettle bell swings more cardio or more weight lifting? Do you need rest days like in weight lifting?
    Should I do the kettle bells on the same day as strong lifts or on rest days?

    I love the idea of this challenge. However, I JUST started using my kettlebells regularly. Currently, I am up to 3 sets of 25 swings with a 10 lb kettlebell. I am getting ready to move up to 15 lbs. (I am starting low and slow to get my form correct and work up.) I am striving to be in a place where I could do a challenge like this, I am just not there yet.

    If you feel up to the challenge, I say go for it! :)

    I add swings to help the hams and glutes that can help with the SL 1x5 deadlift. I swing a 15lb KB on the DL days or between workouts. I ordered a 25lb and 35lb from Amazon. With the heavier weight I am going to do them only on lifting days.

    I also use one for Turkish Get-ups on off days.

    Thank you. It arrived yesterday. I hope I can get the form correct on my own.

    Just gave a swing with my new 25# and 35# KBs yesterday. Whole new world from 15#.
