This may seem like a silly question but how did you hold the db while doing this? I think I'm going to attempt this tomorrow!! I may not be able to survive the whole thing though!!

How long did it take you to do this and is it the same if you use a kettlebell instead of a dumbbell???

Yeah, a kettlebell is fine.

EDIT: This took me about 35 minutes to finish

Holy eff!! I made it through this yesterday but it took me a lot longer than it did you! Girl, you are in amazing shape if you made it through this in 35 minutes!! About 1/3 of the way through my asthma started kicking in and the burn in my chest started so I had to take a lot more rest than I'm sure you did!! BUT I made it through the entire thing so I am proud of myself for that!!
