Another 200 swings with the 15 lb. KB this morning... did 100, rested about 20 minutes, then another 100... I'm not zipping along with this like I thought I could... trouble is, most of the time, I just forget... I guess I could blame my age (62), but I don't really want to... I'm gonna set my cell phone to remind me at 5:00 p.m., if I haven't done them by then... that puts me still doing them before supper & avoiding that full-tummy problem...

Doing 100 swings non-stop sure raises my heart & breathing rates, better than any of the hour-long cardio classes I do at the gym... I like that, makes me feel like I've really done something... I'm not gonna give up the gym, but since I haven't lost any significant weight in the 9 months I've been going there, maybe adding KB is just the amping-up I need to get the scales moving downward again... of course, I have to confess, my diet has also been way off for a few months... I've just had this thought -- maybe exercising at home will make me more conscious of my diet as well, whereas exercising at the gym separates me, mentally, from my diet... I don't know :shrug:, but it's worth the experiment...

3300 - 200 = 3100 to go

hugs :hug:

ok i am back on the grind today, had a fun fullflled weekend out of town.

Any fun-filled activities you can share with us?.. glad you had a good weekend...

I just finished another 200 swings... at this rate, I might go well over my goal by the end of the year... I shortened my rest between 100s to 10 minutes, & it seemed to be okay... maybe tomorrow I'll try a 5-minute rest... I'm loving how it makes me feel, so exhilarated!.. I'm snowed in today, & maybe tomorrow, so I can't make it to the gym... good to have something I enjoy to do at home...

3100 - 200 = 2900 to go

hugs :hug:

Wow had no idea there was a KB challenge here!

I am a long term KB user (since 2007), I use them exclusively during my pregnancies (easy to maneuver around a big belly lol) and incorporate them into my regular lifting routines when not pregnant.

Today I'm doing 4 sets of 12-15 KB's with 12kg's (or 16kg, will see how it goes) as part of my dynamic lower body day (the rest being split squats, romanian deadlifts and perhaps some abdominal work).

So count me in for at least 48 today, will update with results :)

aunt shesh and jenejn yehhh i cant wait to start that challenge,
sacha welcome, are u going to b joing the 10k with us as well

1415-200=1215
