Overweight since childhood,I spent most of my 30's tipping the scales around 250lbs. At age 41 I took charge of feeding myself by preparing all of my own meals, no more fast foods! I created a way to use my love of cooking, food, and eating to permanently lose over 100lbs. During this time I discovered kettlebells and my own style of training The Kettlebell Swing, bringing out my inner athlete and erasing all signs of former lifelong obesity. It's never too late, YOU CAN DO IT!

Scaled Progressive rest ladder Swing workout
Here is another version of the weekends "Progressive Rest Ladder Swing workout". I have one of my training partners, Meg, swing alongside of me to demonstrate the option of using the progressive rest option, or if you find you are not quite ready to challenge you rest periods I demonstrate how to change the rep count to reflect an "equal work to rest" variation. (EWR)
You will see that Meg and I switch options, alternating back and forth after a short warm up (EWR). It's also appropriate to scale back to EWR if you want to challenge yourself with a heavier bell.
