      Lets see, I've basically lost around 65 lbs (currently 205lbs) the last year and 3 months…. I've been working out five days a week since coming to Afghanistan to work, and feel that this would be a great challenge for me to undertake... When this takes place, I will hopefully be in the best shape of my life....

                            It was the reviews on Amazon that convinced me it was the right system to invest in

                              You went with the Dragondoor kettlebell? I don't know how they're different from the Cap Barbell kettlebells, but I've been very satisfied with the Cap Kettlebells. I have 17 or 18 of them

                                  not in shape enough for all that kettle-corn-stuff; plus i'm clumsy & can see me dropping it on my foot or hitting somebody in the head.

                                  old school with very simple pull ups, dips, push-ups & sit-ups.  jump rope, ride my bike or just walk around the block for light cardio. once that gets boring & easy i'll upgradeadd different elements to it.

                                  with a year to get ready for this i can actually focus on diet as well as mental & physical fitness.  plus if i go hard now i'll be board by the time it's time for the challenge.  pace myself slow & steady to avoid injury & i think i'll be fine.  slow & steady works for me.

                                  of course every one is different, so do what works for you

                                          Monday Kettlebell and skogg are for when I'm down another 20#.  Right now I started taking brisk 2 mile walks with bricks in my pack. I am down 30# in about 6 weeks by changing my diet to Whole30 (thank you SeaWolf) which is a form of the Paleo diet.

                                            I'm loving all this info.  Keep it coming, fellas.

                                            Monday, I'm not to the level of kettlebells, either.  I'm coming off a reconstructed shoulder (just graduated PT last week; over 6 weeks early) and am up to bands, pushups, and light cardio.
