Tracy Reifkind's Training Food and Thought

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!

"D30" joins The Swing Quest!

Here is an alternative workout that can replace the last 213 reps of The Swing Quest. Currently The Swing Quest ends with 4 rounds of Sinister Swing, here using this version is a companion to Dirty Thirty.

If you are doing any of The Swing Quest workouts (or all of them) you won't need the short "warm up" that I demonstrate in the Intro, just move on to the workout demo. If you are using this workout on it's own, you may want to practice the swing combinations with me before moving on. The warm up demonstrates 8 sets of 10 swings (80 reps).

In the main workout I give three scalable swing rep options.

3 sets of 10 swings (beginning level = 120 reps)
1 set of 10, 2 sets of 20 swings (beg/intermed level = 200 reps)
1 set of 10, one set of 20, 1 set of 30 (advanced = 240 reps)

You chose, it's your workout! Enjoy!
