If you want to go hardcore, get some KBs from dragondoor and follow Enter the Kettlebell program. You will increase the strength and endurance very fast. Padma.

I am here for 200 days now and I am still logging. The thought crossed my mind that I should stop and see how I would do but as long as I have my iPhone, I have no problem logging. I am not as obsessed about every morsel of food anymore but still logging keeps me in check. Padma.

I love kettlebells and for a few months now, I only do Yoga and kettlebells. I usually do hard style like in dragondoor and I do Kettlebell bootcamp 2 days a week. I am also doing 10 week, 21,000 swing and 5,000 snatch challenge. Padma.

I just finished my squats for the month. For a good measure, I added 100 more so I have done 2100 so far and I am very proud of them. Out of 2100, most of them are done with out body weight. About 10% of them are done with either a 12kg or 20lb kettlebell. Some of them are done as front squats with 45lb Olympic Bar. I…

You look so much younger than before. Nice job...

What a journey! You are an inspiration to so many of us...

What a transformation? Very nice.

My total so for in squats is 645. I am on track so far. I am not doing the crunch part though. Padma.

Awesome transformation!!!

You look so young comapred to old you. Keep it up....

I am joining in for the squat challenge. My only question is I do a lot of deadlifts (2 times a week about 30 per session). Can I count them too? Padma.

All done. I have done 659 swings yesterday to complete the challenge as I promised myself. I had to pull myself up from the ground afterwards but it was all worth it. Total swings: 9484+659 = 10143 My endurance is up, my stamina is up and most of all my confidence is up. I probably lost 1.5 lbs but I will have an offical…

MFP will help you so much in your weight loss journey. Put your heart and soul in to this effort and you will surely achieve it. Turn to MFP for guidance and inspiration. Padma.

I have a bad knee and had surgery on it. Also did tons of PT. So running is not an option for me. I recently picked up kettlebells and I am very happy with them. I am just about to finish up a 10,000 swing challenge for September. I would not advice you to take that but you can pick up any DVD from Amazon on kettlebells…

wow! great job!!!!

Date: 9/5/2010 Swings: 670 Time: 30 minutes I have used the 20lb Kettlebell and did mostly 2 arm swings so the workout was not too bad. Swings to date: 2133. Not bad for first 5 days. If I keep this schedule, I might reach 10,000 a few days before the schedule.... Padma.

As they say you need to when to fold or when to hold....

Date: 9/3/2010 Swings: 803 Time: 35 minutes I used 8kg and 12kg kettlebells today. I could have gone on and on but I know I will be paying later so I stopped myself. Swings to date: 1463

mdpeck, I am sorry I did not answer your question earlier. If you want, you can join at any time and prorate the number of swings. But, if you would rather get your technique right, that is also a good idea. Today I used a 20lb KB to do 660 swings. It took me 32 minutes. I did 30 secs swings, and 30 seconds rest for 32…

clew, I usually swing to a timer for 30 sec work 30 sec rest. I counted them yesterday that I do 20 swings in 30 seconds. So to do 560 swings (I did it yesterday, it took me 28 minutes) and I was doing a mix of double, right, left, Hand to Hand swings to get the variety going. Padma.

Another week went by and I workout with kettlebells 4 days this week. Yesterdays workout was brutal but I am getting stronger my recovery time is getting better with every workout. I have done 5 ladders of 5 rungs of Cleans and Presses and 28 rounds of 30/30 rounds of swings. Entire workout too about 75 minutes. Did not…

I am lucky that we have a gym in our office building. Also my hours are flexible. As long as I put in the hours and get the work done, my boss does not mind if I am absent from my desk for 1+ hours from my desk. I workout in this gym 5 days a week. 2 days a week, I take Yoga classes and 3 days I do Kettlebell workouts.…

I did not weight myself this week and I would like to wait for another week as I do not feel the weightloss. How ever, I have done 5 kettlebell workouts and 2 Yoga workouts in last one week. I found a trainer in my area and started classes with him. So far I have attended 3 and I started to do high pulls with 12 kg which…

Think about all the money you can save and how you can use it for massages, manicures, pedicures, facials and nice clothes in smaller sizes when you start losing weight.

Have patience. Only this morning, I was telling myself that I should eat well, exercise hard and wait. The resuls will come and they will have to... I am just repeating What In have been telling myself. May be another 8 to lbs lbs will show a big difference....
