Looking for Kettlebell Swingers that would like to join me in the 10x10 x10 challenge.
That means 10 sets of 10 swings at the heaviest weight you can manage for 10 days.
Are you in?
I am doing 12 + 16kg's (5 sets of each)

10 x5 x 16kg - 30secs rest
my aim is to finish with 10x10x16kg0 -

Are we going to update this thread?
Or should we have a group in the group section?
Either way works for me.0 -
What's a good starting weight for a beginner? Coincidentally, I just bought a 10 pound kettlebell this morning, even before I saw this thread. When I got it, though, I was thinking about doing more than just swings, so I bought something I could lift with one arm. But, for swings, maybe I should be using a higher weight?0

I'll play. Maybe I'll be able to use the 45lb for the entire workout by the last day currently my workouts start with the 45 but have to downgrade half way through to the 35 because, well, its freakin' heavy lol.0

I've seen lots of books and websites recommend 12-18lbs to start for women. When I started, I got a 20 lb, for 2-hand swings I suspect 10 lbs will be too light...0 -
i'm in, been looking for a reason to dust off the ol kettlebell0

I'm happy to find this thread. I bought 5, 10, and 15 lb kettlebells a few days ago (one of each).
So now I need to learn what kettlebell SWINGS are -- and then do them. I'm in !0 -

My first was 18lbs. then I bought a 26 for swings and deadlifts and such, but I had been lifting for a while.
Here is a little video about selecting a kettlebell. Let me know if it doesn't play or has you logged in as me on the site or something.

Here's a link that shows some kettle bell swings you can do for a 30 minute workout.

I'm in, although I am late, I will start this pm and I have a 15lb kettle bell. Lets see if this, along with my T25 gets my waits and abs and arm in better shape!0

Day 2 done and dusted, I managed 6 sets with 16kg and 4 sets with 12kg, so should be able to do all sets with the heavy bell at the end of the challenge.
Anyone looking for excellent resource material on Kettlebell Training, free YT clips etc I'd encourage you to check out Tracey Reifkind - her resources are very helpful, motivating and professional.
She also has a blog which tells her inspirational story and more training tips etc.0 -
Am I too late to join? What do "swings" do for you? Not entirely sure what the benefits of the exercise are?
And is it one KB one arm / one KB two arms?0 -
She sounds amazing!0

I'm new to kettlebells, so I'm watching videos and trying to get the correct form from the beginning.
Using 10 lb bell. Did 10 swings on day 1 and 10 swings on day 2, so I'm on track.
I watched some YouTube videos with Ryan Raw -- very helpful.
My dvd's came yesterday, so I'll be watching those soon. They are two different trainers.
Lots of variety for learning, but the messages are consistent. I like that!0
