I hope you were able to review the videos in the previous posts so that you could have a good understanding of the exercises that are part of this challenge. The goal for the first day is simply to allow you to become familiar with the kettlebell swing and to review the videos, if indicated, before we progress further in the challenge.
I've had some great comments/questions and I hope I've been able to address them. One thing I forgot to mention. Please DO NOT let go of your kettlebell, weight, medicine ball while it is in mid-air. This disclaimer is for all spouse, child, pet and personal property injury that could result from this inadvertent action. LOL!.
Get started, have fun and be safe. The intensity will ramp up significantly so please make sure you're comfortable with the movement and the weight before the end of week one.

Day #2. As some of you are indicating, you can do the KB swings with two hands or one. Doing 10 reps on each side is definitely a step up and will get your HR up. The curls may be a challenge depending on what you are using, KB/DB/Plate/Med Ball. Find a grip that works best; you can also do these one arm at a time. Remember to keep your core tight. Executing the swing should be a motion that starts from your lower body; you shouldn't be lifting the weight with your arms :-)
