10k swings done!

[newlightseven]

After taking a break because my hands got all torn up from girevoy endurance training I decided to try the 10K challenge.
I started it a week late in January but putting in work on a weekend caught me up and I got it done! Figured I’d share since y’all know what it’s about.

@newlightseven Nice work. What's your take away from the doing the challenge/program?

 

[newlightseven]

@cristina49 Biggest take away is form. During round 3 I started to feel it. Round 4 I was getting tired so keeping your form will save your back and hit the areas the workout is supposed to hit rather than straining other parts of the body.

@newlightseven I did it as well. Dropped 5 pounds in 4 weeks (without changing eating habits).

 

[newlightseven]

@jreneew8 That’s awesome. I toned up some in my arms and stomach but I didn’t weigh myself

@newlightseven Nice! I did 10k January as well.

@newlightseven What days do you work out? Three days a week or???

 

[lbeebe48]

@alittlebird To get the 10k in you need to do 500 every weekday for 4 weeks. OP had some catch up so likely did some weekends as well.

 

[cristina49]

@lbeebe48 I think Dan John recommends 2 day on, 1 day off. So if you start week 1, you will be swinging Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Next week Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday etc.

@cristina49 That's more or less where I ended up when I couldn't get a work out in. I did have a couple 3 rounds one day and 2 on the off day.

@newlightseven Nice to see. I am doing Pat Flynn's 300 swings challenge and then want to do 10 K after. I verified I can do 50 swings straight with 53 lbs but in his "revisited" post he has a version where you don't have to do any specific rep scheme.
