We all have kettlebells shall we challenge ourselves this week with those? I'm going to, even if others don't wanna join in
This week:
200 swings
100 cleans
100 presses
100 bicep curls
Leave me out of this one, not that I know what these are but would probably only manage 100 in total.
I will stick to the bike for now.
I have a stepper which i haven't used for years as its bloody hard but I think I will drag that downstairs after work tomorrow and have a shot at that.
I will have a look see what all these moves are for Kettlebell and try a few of these but doubt that I can get anywhere near the amount you are doing

I've started listening to music while exercising now and find that I usually average 35k sometimes less and sometimes more depending on the beat of the music.
When I just watch tv I range anywhere from 25 to 32ish k so music is the way to go, makes it a lot more fun too.
Lady ga ga is a good one to go with

Well now I remember why my stepper has been hidden away for so long.
I brought it downstairs tonight which was a marathon in itself. After lugging it down I was knackered. I think it weighs more than I have lost.
Anyway I think you are supposed to do about 10 mins each day on it. Me being clever decided that I would do 15. After 2 mins I thought I was dying so decided that I would stop for a bit after 5 mins if I survived that long (I did). In total it took me 30 mins to do 15 mins steps so do I count this as 30 mins or 15 mins haha,
Its supposed to be really good for toning up and I could really feel it pulling so fingers x'd. It's not hidden away anymore so I will use it.
That was instead of my bike and after my tea has settled I might give the kettlebell a go.
Good luck for your weigh in tonight Aesir

You sneaked on here while I was writing my essay.
Brilliant loss Aesir, I bet you;re really happy about that!
And a mulit tasker, wow, I thought only us women could do that.

Thanks, now I will carry on even if it kills me.
Just finished 30 mins kettlebell. I don't know how many wotsits I did, I didn't count and I made up my own moves because I don't know what the wotsits are. :bliss:
My arms are burning a bit and my legs, I hope I can move tomorrow,

well done Ange, be careful you dont hurt yourself though - maybe worth researching some moves online and best form for doing them because its a lot of strain in some places if you're not doing it quite right?
Also, well done on your stepper - 15mins is amazing, i hate the stairmaster at the gym so haaaaaard!
well done Aesir on your loss thats amazing!
i did an hours PT yesterday and he helped me run 3.1km!
also went to school gym today and I tried again on the bike to beat Aesir's time.. but i think i am working flat out.. i managed to beat my time by...... 1 second 25mins 53seconds!

You're doing great with your exercise. I wish I could run even half as far as that and an hours exercise is fantastic.
Sorry, the moves that 'i have been doing are real moves, I just don't know what they are called and done in no particular order.
The other guys probably know me well enough by now to know that I will more than likely slip fairly soon with the kettlebell as I only do it for short burst before I get bored./lazy.
