Intention Changes Everything - The March Challenge!

I was talking to my new friend Craig last weekend and he told me he just finished the 10,000 kettlebell swings challenge. He lost weight, gained muscle, and was super happy with the results. Rewind back to 2020 during the dark days of lockdown life, back to when I also did this challenge. Back to when I was in the best shape of my life. It was a huge part of my training back then. I needed something simple, and repetitive. I did not have the mental capacity nor the desire to do complex workouts. I just wanted to set aside some time and fucking go! And get mad strong! I, like Craig, also saw massive results from this program, including weight loss, muscle gains, tenacity, habit and goal setting improvement, dedication, accountability, and improving my diet and my overall self care.

Dan John is the mastermind behind the original challenge, and if you don't already know who he is, it may be time to take a deeper dive into some strength training legends....Anyway it is in his book Never Let Go.

Swing into Spring - revision

This brings us to Spring 2025. For years I have done a Swing Into Spring program for my kettlebell classes. While this is a great program, it has too many "things" to do within it. More importantly, I dont have the videos set up (YET) for my online training clients, which makes training at home a little more difficult with programs that have multiple exercises and techniques.

Soooo this year I am bringing back the 10,000 swings, for all of us!

Um, cool, what the fuck is it?

The Dan John 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge is a fitness program designed to test and enhance your strength, endurance, and overall physical conditioning through the use of kettlebells. This challenge is not merely about swinging a kettlebell; it represents a comprehensive workout regimen that incorporates a high volume of swings—specifically, a total of 10,000 swings—over a designated period of time. The challenge is structured to be progressively demanding, making it suitable for various fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes.

You will spread the 10,000 swings over several weeks, allowing for adequate recovery and adaptation. This approach ensures that you can build up your strength and technique without risking injury. Throughout the challenge, you are encouraged to focus on proper form and mechanics to maximize the effectiveness of your swings while minimizing the risk of strain or injury. The kettlebell swing itself is a dynamic movement that engages multiple muscle groups, including your glutes, hamstrings, core, and shoulders, making it an efficient exercise for building functional strength and improving cardiovascular fitness.

In addition to physical benefits, this challenge also emphasizes mental toughness and discipline. Completing 10,000 swings requires commitment, consistency, and a strong mindset, as you must push through physical fatigue and maintain motivation over the course of the challenge. You will most likely find that the community aspect of participating in this challenge provides additional support and encouragement, making your journey more enjoyable and engaging.

The challenge is not just going to be a test of physical tenacity; it is really a holistic approach to fitness that fosters growth in both body and mind, encouraging you to set goals, track your progress, and celebrate your achievements along the way. ALLLL THE THINGS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
