I already knew the kettlebell was one of the best fitness tools out there. I knew it had made working out fun again. I knew it was responsible for making my core the strongest it has ever been. I didn’t know it would become a tool God would use to further shape and challenge me. [...]
hand. Does anyone else find that SpongeBob episode hilarious? Anyone? Anyone? I bet this girl does. Unlike Sponge Bob things aren’t so funny right now in my life. I have two days until the Russian Kettlebell Challenge and the scale has been erratic. Up and down. Up and down. My body is bi-polar. (Oh wait, [...]
Friday, I was attempting my 5 minute snatch test again. On rep 74 I felt my left shoulder weaken. One more. No it wasn’t just a bad rep, my shoulder was getting tired. One more. Yeah, it’s really tired. My form was deteriorating and wanting to stay safe I put the kettlebell down. Then I [...]
Last week, I went camping in the Sequoia National Forest. It was a perfect week. Something Brent and I both needed. We left BY OURSELVES Sunday evening bringing the essentials. My parents joined us Monday evening with Thing One and Thing Two, sometimes known as my children. We planned to leave on Wednesday [...]
All the world’s a stage gym. Last Thursday, I didn’t plan to workout. I had already gotten in a good workout the day before but then I saw this… …like a crazy woman thankfully the kettlebells were still in the car The Workout 10 Kettlebell Snatches (5 right, 5 left) 4 Flights of Stairs [...]

The Gym 12 kg Kettlebell 16 kg Kettlebell [...]
We kicked our camping season off this weekend with a trip up the coast with one of our homeschooling groups. (For those who may be considering homeschooling and are concerned about “socialization”. Don’t worry, in most towns, the opportunities to hang out with other kids and really get to know other families are endless.) [...]
I know being sore is necessarily indicative of a good workout. I don’t care. I like being sore. In fact, I LOVE being sore and I have a feeling that I’ll be sore tomorrow after today’s workout. I just did this workout this morning with my friend, Deb, aka, Smoothie Girl. Isn’t she cute. If [...]
(Source) Good day dear readers! (said in a horrible faux accent of unknown region) I hope you a restful weekend. The above picture would so be me and and I know some of you too! Ha! Yesterday, Brent and I did this fun and fast workout. We used kettlebells but you could easily modify it [...]
I was planning on finishing up Part 4 of my Climbing the Ladder Series: (Tools to Keep Your Weekend Interesting) but while I love lists (that was one of my first and all time favorite posts btw) I’m just not “feeling” my scheduled post today. Instead, I want to talk about the 10KChallenge I just completed [...]
