    Bonus Challenge: Try a new exercise this week; a video, a class, a routine, a machine - just something that you've never tried before.

    Though I have used kettlebells before, I went from a 15 lb bell to a 26.4 lb bell... I wanted a 20 lb but they did not have one at the gym so I did less reps.
