Today's Fitness Tip:
 
Not up for a cardio workout today?
 
Try some Swings! 
 
Swings burn up to 20 calories/minute.  That's about the same as doing a 400m distance at a good 5K race pace for some people.
 
You can get a lot of work done in just 10-15 minutes of Swings, with breaks in between.
 
100 Swings takes roughly 2:40-50 in time.  If you went every 5 minutes, you could get 400 done in 20 minutes of time.
 
If you're not used to Swings, try for sets of 40 to 50, alternating arms every 5 or 10 reps.  For example, if you're doing sets of 50, try switching every 10 up to 40 reps, then for the last 10, switch after 5 on the last 10 reps. Going for 100? Switch arms every 10 reps.
 
Start with light kettlebell and basically get a heavier one once you feel that its too light for you. Even going up 5 pounds is enough of a jump.
