    After almost a week off I've only just about caught up with the schedule. I'm at 3040 swings - almost a third of the way there! But I'll have a bad week next week because I'm away again for work. Maybe they'll have kettlebells in the hotel gym...

    I managed 40 swings last night and 40 again tonight.
    I used a 15 lb kettlebell.

    I'm just beginning so I'm taking it easy to start.

    oooo - would love to.
    I have a 16kg KB, this would be nice to add to my usual CF WOD.

    I'll be out for a few weeks as having surgery on Friday, but once I'm back to it, I think I can catch up.

    Not too light - but not that heavy either. If I'm doing the Art of Strength Providence dvd I use a 30 lb for the swings, and 15, 20, or 25 lb for the other rounds. My other dvds are more boot camp style with a mix of exercises in each round which makes it harder to switch weights during the round so I usually go with the 20 lb.

    cool.

    harder the better! :p

    Another 100 with 20kg(44lbs) (5 x 20 - 60 seconds rest) upon waking this morning.
    Not too bad...will do it again tomorrow! but 5 x 21. i want to add 1 rep to each set each day. In 20 days, that will give almost 3000.

    5 x 21 x 20kg this morning. I can see this becoming a good morning ritual!
    See how my body takes to it, lol. Slighty siff already in the lower back, but mostly the hammies! Slight stiffness in the shoulders too, lol.

    Love the burn at the end of the last set!

    Wife thinks i'm insane. she is probably right.

    I have been looking for something new to do, so I'm in on the challenge (better late than never). I have had a kettlebell for almost a year and have only used it 2/3 times...not counting as a door stop!
