I've done the 10,000 Swing challenge 4 times over the past year and a 1/2. This challenge is completed by doing 500 Swings per day/workout. It's tough but doable... Each time I've done it, I have lost weight, inches and fat. Yet gained strength at the same time. Go for it!

From Boston area, but now live in London... :)

That is Awesome... Very Impressive!

15 Seconds on; 15 Seconds off for 41 'sets' which is 20 minutes. I alternate between: KB Swings KB Snatches (each Arm) Double KB cleans and presses

I had it a few years ago after I started running and hiking a lot. I did nothing (the male hormone in me) just stretched my calves before and after a hike or run, and first thing in the morning. Seemed to go away for me...

This looks like a great challenge, I might just give this a try...

July 18 workout This was my final (20) workout of the 10,000 Swing Challenge! I decided to use the lighter 24 Kilo 'bell and do Dips as I wanted to compare the time Delta between my first workout and my last. I shaved almost 4 full minutes off my workout. To me that is outstanding! Cluster 10 Swings (24Kilo KB) 5 Dips 15…

Ok, so I did finish the 10,000 Swings and have logged them all, I just got behind on updating this post.

Good Luck!

I disagree... What I said, was quoted from an ACE study and several articles that I've read as well as my experience of using KB's extensively for the past 3 years. I wasn't trying to be a dick and I am certainly not 'getting fat' by over eating and using any ridiculous numbers. As I've said in a different post, when I…

Based upon?

No, I do not have the study, nor have I read it... Several articles I have read online quote different studies and generally the amount of calories burned seems pretty consistent. That being said I think the amount of calories burned in a specific amount of time is going to be very unique to an individual. My experience…

I try to do something every single day. So for me, even on days when I'm not at the gym, or working with my Kettlebells, I might go for a run, bike ride or a long dog walk. Active rest.... While do believe we need rest and that's when our bodies recuperate, I don't think that means doing nothing. I rest and do nothing,…

LOL... My thoughts exactly!!!

I just posted this in a different message, but thought it would be relevant here too... In one study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise (ACE),3 participants were able to burn calories ‘off the charts’ when they used kettlebells in a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) format, which allows you to get an…

In one study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise (ACE),3 participants were able to burn calories ‘off the charts’ when they used kettlebells in a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) format, which allows you to get an intense workout in a short amount of time. They used 10 volunteers, ranging in age from 29 to…

Can you afford to buy a Kettlebell? No space needed and I can assure you, you will lose lbs. with KB's... There are tons of YouTube videos of various KB workouts too.

Kettlebells... Several studies have shown that Kettlebell workouts burn roughly 20.2 calories per minute! That's pretty intense and I have seen amazing gains (fat loss) in a very short period of time using KB's.

Later workout for me tonight as I had a long drive to the gym from a customer meeting this evening. Normally I would just skip the workout, but I was determined to get it in today... Time was a bit slower tonight than the last time I did the 'Dips workout'; about 30 seconds slower. This is workout # 17, so I only have 3…

West London here...

I'm a real believer in the 'bells now... Tonight's 500 Swing workout was done after a heavy (for me) Chest and Bicep workout, using the KB's as my cardio for the night.

Back at my home gym tonight. This workout amazed me at how 'light' the 28Kilo KB felt. The first cluster felt like I was swinging a 24Kilo bell again... :smile: This is workout number 16, so only 4 more to go and I'll have nailed the 10,000 Swings again! Workout below: Cluster 10 Swings (28Kilo KB) Double Kettlebell Front…

Munich Workout on Friday July 10th at the same rooftop gym as the previous workout. This workout was great, however, I couldn't do the last 50 swings of each cluster non-stop. I had to set the 'bell down at 30 swings and shake my hands out for a few seconds before completing the final 20 Workout below: Cluster 10 Swings…

Munich Workout on Thursday July 9th at an Awesome gym with an outdoor, rooftop area. Here is my workout: Cluster 10 Swings (32Kilo KB) 3 Chins 15 Swings (32Kilo KB) 2 Chins 25 Swings (32Kilo KB) 1 Chin 50 Swings (32Kilo KB) Repeat 4 more clusters. Each set of the cluster is performed with no rest between…

Time to get back to recording and updating this post. I have been doing my workouts and am 4 workouts away from completing the 10K Swings. I was hoping to complete the challenge in a single month, or 30 day period, but I'll be a few days over... So last week I went to Munich for a few days for work and lucky me, found a…

Another fantastic KB workout tonight. I was in and out of the gym in under an hour. In the 30 minutes that I was there, I was 'bringing it' and worked harder than some who spent a couple of hours there. I get amused at people who come to the gym day in and day out, and seem to just wander around with no plan or program.…

Had a great KB workout tonight... Time was pretty good too considering I did heavy incline bench, flat dumbells and some biceps before I swung the bells... Workout below: Cluster 10 Swings (28Kilo KB) Double Kettlebell Front Squat with 2 16Kilo KB's - 5 Reps 15 Swings (28Kilo KB) Double Kettlebell Front Squat with 2 16Kilo…

Fun is an understatement! ;) Seriously, if you like to push yourself, and want some serious results, this is the workout!
