As many of you know, I love kettle bells. I love to swing and I love Turkish Get Ups even more. So when Iron Body by Artemis promoted a Holiday Swing Challenge I decided to give it a short. My total number of swings for Week One was 1330...that is a lot of swings for someone who maybe did, at the most 200-300 swings a week. Two of the five days I did my usual work out before doing the swings.
My initial plan was to do my workout before doing the swings. However, I had a challenging work week and only managed two days that included my regular work outs.
Here is the thing about this challenge. Not only did I feel like I was building strength but it was an amazing cardio work out.
I posted what I did in a FB Holiday Swing Challenge Group. I thought I would share with you my unedited postings. Maybe next time you might want to accept the challenge.
Week 1 Day 1
Did 250 swings with a 16kg bell.
Sweaty mess right now. Challenge for me was doing the routine at 6:00 PM instead of 5 AM. I am very much a morning exercise person. Everything feels heavier at night. Proud that I completed the routine!!!
Week 1 Day 2
The plan was to swing yesterday but worked got in the way. I worked 5:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Just didn't have it in me although around 8:00 I thought...well maybe...so I picked up the 16kg and did ten 1H swings on each side and decided not tonight. Will pick it up tomorrow. And I did.
I only have one 16KG bell so I did 2H swings 10x10 for 100. The 16KG felt light so I did the last 3 rounds with the 20KG. That is all I have here at home.

I then did 15 sets of 1H swings with the 16KG for a total of 180.
Total swings yesterday = 20
Today 280
Week 1 Day 3
270 swings in the book. Again I had to do them at night but I am getting them done. Whoo Hoo! Still prefer the morning but circumstances have been beyond my control this week.

Week 1 Day 4
I only have one 20KG bell so I did 2H swings 10x10 for 100. Felt great!
I then did 14 sets of 1H swings with the 16KG. During the 14th set my form felt like crap so I went down to a 12KG to finish 15 sets. YAAAA

Before swinging I did my regularly scheduled workout. This has been a challenging work week for me. It was great having these simple, fairly quick scheduled workouts.
