Beginning kettlebells can be intimidating and often, for some women, learning the swing is the most intimidating of all. First, many women are still fearful of heavy weights being misled that lifting heavy will make them bulky. If this is you I assure you, that for the vast majority, weight training will not make you bulky. Yes, some women [...]

Are kettlebells for cardio or strength training? That’s a question I get asked regularly. The answer is “It depends.” and “Both“. Since I don’t have access to a ” real gym” I’m using mostly kettlebells for cardio and strength. Kettlebells exercises are divided into two basic groups “grinds” and “ballistics“. Kettlebells for strength are often [...]

Last week’s kettlebell workouts spanned Vermont to Indiana. Like the previous week, I didn’t really follow a schedule because we were moving so much. I just did what I could when I could. Sunday – Brent and I got up early to shoot my Vermont workout at the wild flower farm where we spent the [...]

Kettlebells are popular not only because they are portable (Take them to the beach and workout with wild horses? Yes please.) but because they give a good strength and conditioning workout. This kettlebell workout (geared for beginners because Maryland was one of the original 13 colonies) has two parts. Part one focuses on strength. Part [...]

Last week was a week fit for adventure. I got in four kettlebell workouts, two long hikes, and multiple short hikes. It was sort of a weird week because we were traveling a lot. Typically, we like to stay put a week or so but we have a family commitment at the end of July [...]

Since I no [...]
