How do people take such awesome pics after their workouts? Do they fix up to workout alone??? I look like I went swimming in the swamp and whatever I am wearing is pretty much see thru by the time I am done (doesn't matter what it is). I would love to take good "I did this" pics.

Cynthia, you are doing great! I am 53, and KBs now are definitely tougher for me than when I started using them about 10 years ago.
Jenilu and Vanny, both of your responses were helpful! I did some Google searches and I did find one plus size woman doing a kettlebell workout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYbP...nel=HollyHonjo She does swings at 20:10. It's a little hard to see her form b/c she is standing sideways for the swings. She is bigger than me, but b/c she holds most of her weight in her midsection, her mid-thighs might actually be smaller than mine. If I find anything else I'll share!

Gladgirl, thanks, I appreciate the compliment!
I found a used 18 lb kettlebell on amazon & ordered it. Before today, I hadn't known that kettlebells were available in 18 Lb! Last year when I was doing LIIFT 4 on beachbody, I ordered a pair of 17.5 lb dumbbells and love them. Used them last month with beachbody's Muscle Burns Fat program. I like the intermediate weight between 15 and 20.

I loved the Day 3 bird dogs interludes. I went lighter on the high swings.
Beth I think my stance is ever so slightly wider and sumo-ish than Lauren's to accommodate my pear-nacity I asked Lauren about beginners and the use of the challenge. I asked if I could share her response and she said I could. So here it is in case anyone is interested: Quote:
Hoping no one feels pressure to do too much but enjoy the challenge in your own way. I also wanted to mention how sweet our VF community is and encouraging each other.

Pear-nacity, I love it! And I agree, I love how the challenge is adjustable to meet each of us where we are and how supportive everyone is. Different ages, backgrounds, levels, strengths, we are one in our kettleness! Where's the strong fist emoji??
I was going to do day 2 as a warmup for my run but didn't happen, i just ran. Sub 10 minute mile though and I even walked the first minute to warmup! Based on today I am guessing I will just be doing the challenge next week, even if the videos aren't still available. I am writing down each day's workout so I have it. I wanted to do it along with you all but that's okay.
