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

if a plain round kettle bell doesn't do it for you, how about one that looks like an angry chimp

(by the way that wasn't directed at you monday, just random)
Jaco, you've done this before?
no but kinda ditto what monday said I've been on the verge… got one as close to local as I'm gonna get coming this summer
I think jaco wants in?
want in but I can't commit without a date, will be working on a 2014 work schedule in the coming months though, so I'm watching this space…

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.

May have over did it a bit last night made a big scramble last night for dinner
Organic brown eggs
Nitrate free bacon
Sweet potato

Peppers
Spinach
Avocado
Then took a nice brisk 2 mile walk with the bricks, then decided to do 5 sets of 10 burpees. I learned the hard way what a "vurp" is -
Waited an hour guess it wasn't long enough lol
