                  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.
