How to change the weight and/or reps in a workout in Dumbbell Gain or Kettlebell Fundamentals

Heya Valerie

That’s correct, the Kettlebell Training Journey is time-based, not rep based

@Brayhead

Sometimes the length of time was far too long for me e.g. 120 seconds with a kettlebell on one arm.

This will always happen when you are using weights that are quite low, and where there is a big jump to your next available weight. The Coach is progressive, and will incrementally adjust the difficulty of your workouts based on your feedback. With low weights, the only way the Coach can progressively adjust to positive feedback without a huge jump in the assigned weight is to increase the time (in the case of Kettlebells).

This is why I can not stress enough that you will get the most benefit from these Journeys with a wide range of weights available to you.

This scenario is discussed quite a lot on the Forum, I’ve pasted a link to one discussion below

Coach feedback in kettlebell program

Hey Warren Welcome! Again, what weights have you got enabled in your Coach settings? This can only be happening because the Coach is assigning you this exercise at a low weight. If there is not a suitable next weight to progress to, the only way the Coach can make this exercise harder is by increasing the time spent doing the exercise. What weight is the Coach assigning you this exercise at?
