Take Back Your Life In 2023 With 100 Kettlebell Swings A Day 

The KB swing is transformative in all the right ways for anyone, but especially for 40+ men. I was morbidly obese almost all of my life. After losing 90lbs with pure nutrition in 2020 I started swinging a bell. Swings and pushups HIT style have allowed me to lose another 25lbs and add significant muscle. Current workout is 2 cleans per hand, pass in between, 10 2 handed swings all with a 62lb (28kg) bell, drop bell and do 10 pushups. Catch my breath, take a few laps around the mats and start again. Roughly 25 minutes for everything. Cardio is included. I do this 2-3 days per week. Two other days a week I do get ups and some shoulder rehab work (my weak joint) working in pull ups and chin ups (starting with negatives). I just turned 50 and I feel like I'm 25 in all aspects of my life and I've never worked out for longer than 30 minutes at a time. I can run three miles without difficulty (but will never do so - too much stress on joints as I'm 6'3" 225lbs). It all started with 10 sets of 10 swings with a 35lb bell.

I started doing 100 as a finish to all my workouts last August - my strength and cardio have gone ballistic.

I just grew a full beard in 7 minutes just watching this video.💪😎👍

These videos have been really inspiring over 2022 - just wanted to say thanks Jon and have a great 2023.

I've been training 40+ years via all sorts of sports disciplines and I have never heard such a thorough & precise exercise philosophy "anchor point" SPOT ON!

Thanks Coach. I’m about a year late finding this video, but have incorporated Kettlebells into my workouts specifically swings and wow what a difference it’s made already in my cardio and fitness.

Back with the 100 swings! Love it bro. These videos are TIGHT!

I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions, but I loved what you had to say! Staying consistent and not strictly focusing on the end goal is key. Thank you for the motivation!

Great words today! I do swings first thing every morning. Low mental or physical days are 50. 80 is a “meh” day But generally 100 plus is my average. Five to six days a week are my kettlebell workout days. Split or whole body. I’m 62 and the strongest ever. My cardio…yup it needs work. Consistently do your best. Hope or goals are a bad investment without consistent action. Today doesn’t have to be better than yesterday, but it will likely lead to better days. One day will be your last day training, be thankful for today.

I like him he makes sense and doesnt use excitement to get my attention

Today, April 16th, 2024, my practice is no matter what I’ll get my 100 KBs in preferably before I leave the house. I turned 40 and pretty much lost myself…or rather I’m surrendering to who I’ve always been. I’ve always been in shape without having to do much but now and maybe it’s just in my head but now I’m just spinning and in the worst shape of my life. I don’t really feel like going back to the gym just yet but I can definitely swing some weight around in my living room!! Thank you for this man. See ya soon.

Love your straight talk. Thank you

Brother that was some all truth and great advice to make sure you have a consistent daily goal. Ive been at my kettle bell workout for 3 months and feeling discouraged from negative people around me. Thank you

Clicked for info, stayed for the music 😂 great video man! I’ve been doing 100 KB Swings a day as of last month because this new job messed up my old gym routine and I brought a KB to work and it’s been giving great results! My coworkers kept eyeing me at the start but now they see some progress and want to get into it too! 😂 keep up the content 🤙🏽

Progress is not always predictable. Sometimes it is linear. Sometimes that progress stalls out at a certain weight or movement for a bit. And that is okay!

Great concept, thanks for spreading good info and helping others with this practice. Subbed.

Kettle bell swings along with goblet squats completely transformed my body in a few months. I've fallen in love with the trap bar since then but I never would have gotten where I am without seeing the rapid results from the kettle bell.

Solid and crystal-clear advice. ''Build castles in the air, but put a bit of the foundations under them every single day!'' - (Thoreau?). Viva!

Subbed, Love the Kettlebell content, Keep it coming

Fantastic video. Subscribed! Looking forward to the content to come

New to kettlebell training & enjoying it so far 👍💪

Amazing talk sir....so much important guidance

Man keep theses videos going. Love it!!

Awsome Bro….thank you …..Alli South Africa

Great upload, superb advice. More please.

Great advice, thanks for sharing!

My goal is to turn up everyday. Run, walk, cycle, swing, pump, swim, do what you can or Do it all. Its good money.

Thanks again. Great video

If you want to know why most people don't follow through with resolutions, it's because the new year is in March when spring arrives, when all forms of life start to feel rejuvenated after months of the dying season that is winter. Spring brings new life, Winter brings end. Just some food for thought. Look into the history of calendars and you'll see we've been duped and that's why our commitments that start Jan 1st tend to fail

Thanks for the reminder. I kinda slowed down my training cuz I had an hernia I never removed (will be fixed this year tho) but I believe I can still train, and I’m also preparing for yoga teacher twining. So you think a daily 100 swing + 10 TGU and maybe 3x a week C&P and squats 5x set of 5reps - 3 times a week seems reasonable minimalist efficient trainings ?

Great message. Great presentation. Great music.

Good stuff man -

Spot on. This what i do as a 60 year old. Power lifts and bodybuilding and if its stupid hot out or I need a change, stay inside and do a kettlebell/club bell workout. Different stimulus for longevity .

I'd try go for the 300 since 274 swings a day is 100k for the year. Edit: almost immediately after writing this I've realised how onerous 300 swings a day is especially when doing other workouts. I did 300 a day for a month with a 24kg and it just suuucked. It's very taxing

I've been consistingly lifting weights for the past 25 years. I'm now almost 40 and I'm obese, always tired and it takes me 5 min in the morning to be able to get out of bed due to aches in my joints. I've started to train with kettlebells about 4 years ago and I've managed to fk up my shoulder. I'm on pain medicine now. Btw I'm a qualified judo instructor and been involved în sport since I was 8 The only exercise I can do now is walking in the park and sometimes when I'm motivated, light mountain biking

You talked me into it!

Great video, sensible advice way above the average RU-vidr that you watch for fun but cannot relate because the level is so high. I am doing 100 KB swings in 4 x 25 set. It is a light KB - 27 lbs. Would you recommend increase the KB weight of try to make 100 n a row ? I was fearing to to RGA swings everyday, now it’s 3 times a week. I am 62 yo, 6 ft 1 in , 200 lbs. Greeting from Brazil.

Great stuff 62 beginner here, thanks for sharing.

Great video. I may have missed it, but does it matter if the 100 swings are broken up into sets, or does it need to be 100 continuous swings to get benefits? I assume that building an anchor point habit of daily swinging in and of itself is beneficial regardless, so I’ll just see what this 53-year old, post-stroke and post-open heart surgery gritty veteran can do. Based on current squat and deadlift, I know 10x10 is easily in reach and 5x20 or more isn’t unrealistic. And 1x100 is aspirational by the end of 30 days.

62 yo male. I remember in the early 80’s Russian kettleballs showed up. I appreciate the simplicity. Thanks for sharing. You motivate me!

When you understand this quote by Epicetus: "Some things are in our control and others not.". Things will start to work. The stoics will know :)

Love my kettlebells! Do not go to sleep without the 100.

Thanks for the video. I can currently can do single arm kb swing of 100 reps in total using 12kg. Please advise how much weight i need to use to do double handed kb swing for 100 times. Please also advice how much rest between each sets? Many thanks

Loving the honesty here. Dont need the background music.

Very nice form.

Props on that beard. Very strong 💪

I liked it for the Mali.

With rabies, you have like 72 hours to get shots to prevent contracting the disease. Unfortunately, you can't be tested without like a brain biopsy, or something, so if you're scratched or bitten and the animal isn't caught, killed, and tested, it's definitely a good idea to get the shots, just to be safe. It happened to me in 2014 with a baby raccoon that was crossing the road. I tried to help it and the slow thing got fast really quickly and bit me. I didn't think it broke the skin, but the next day, my finger was swollen. I got 6 shots at the hospital and, not having health insurance at the time because I was a poor student, I got a bill for $30,000. That was eventually settled for significantly less, but still a lot...either way, once symptoms present, you have something like a 1:100,000 chance of surviving without severe brain damage, so whatever it costs, whatever you think about the risk...it's worth it to be safe.

Ok, 100 swings. I am 90 KG and 67 years old. How heavy is that Kettle-Bell? 🙂

10 an hour for 100. does that work?

What kinda neck surgery did you have done? I was partially spinally decapitated for 13 years then got the front of my neck fused c3-c7 then a year later got the hardware removed due to it loosening. Then a year later fell due to my bad heart and snapped my fusion and got the backside fused. It has been like 5 years since.

What is a good warmup for the 100 swings? I am a new subscriber and have not looked through all of the videos yet..

Im sure this has been answered but i need to ask anyway, can i do kettle bell swings with a dumbbell, and so you have any videos of dumbbell swings i dont have a kettle bell just 3 set's of dumbbells

that beard is sick!

Is it ok to break it into sets? Or pick a weight you can do 100 unbroken?

How can I choose the right weight kettlebell to start with and how should I progress up the weights as I grow?

ok so i have kettlebell on home and i need to bulid strength for lashing on containers can kettle help and what exercise is good?

💪

You know what, I'm in

I do 300 to 400 swings a day. I go between 24kg and 20 kg. Swing away

Consistency, nutrient dense food and sleep.

usually done just 2 sets of 12 with 70lbs every 2 weeks.. 6 months went fine and then pulled my lower back few weeks ago. maybe doing low weight and longer or something would be better... dunno anyway, having a 100 kettlebell swing video might make you think that there is some pointers on technique.

Do you start the day with swings and after work hit the gym again?

13 years!

Totally random but what frisbee is that your Mal has? My german is quite the frisbee stress tester

You're in good shape, but that beard tho :)

Shhhush and show me the swings im a newbe and ur yapin!

Fix cardio? Burpees are great for that. I never run. I just do burpees and lots of them.

Does it still work in 2024? somebody knows?

How can an excerise that you can do a 100 times have any benefit at all?

Great video and beautiful dog. You’re an animal!!! 💪 P.s. Shave your head bro.

watched 11th Feb 2023

You kinda look like the bassist Jeff Hughell

Dang I think I have abs

can you do these with high blood pressure?

Is this guy Jack "goldman" Murphy's brother? it's like if they transplanted the same beard

Just found this, it's all good stuff, I like it. But man you need to seriously find another hairdresser.😀

I guess the circus is in town

Most people do hope you will fail. This is such a sad truth.

Belgium Malinois only Dog capable of doing a kettlebell swing.

Kettlebell for old men in pain? Whatcha got?

Unfortunately, you're right. Nobody (almost) will advise you something useful today...

Functional training. Dysfunctional beard.

treating a dog like a slave-soldier... I guess you invaded some middle-east countries as well, S I R, right? 😂

He looks like a priest

Add some Turkish Get Ups and you are doing simple and sinister.

Lots of preaching for a workout vid, nah

So the workout was embarrassing and that weird beard gets a pass

Lose the beard.

This is great talk for any area in life! 🙏🏽🫶🏽

This was a whole lot of nonsense.
