IMG_2166

This morning I was scrolling through twitter and saw one of my kettlebell buddies tweet, “911 swings done”. My heart sunk. This evening, I headed to the beach alone with two kettlebells to do 911 swings in honor of those who lost their lives 10 years ago today. In Honor of Heroes Workout – 911 […]

Move It Monday

December 6, 2010 in Cardio, Full Body Workouts, Kettlebells

I haven’t mentioned it because I try not to complain to you guys but I have had a pulled hamstring and some serious lower back pain the last few months.  As a result, I had backed off and modified some of my training.  During my Thanksgiving vacation, I took it easy and stuck with light […]

Move It Monday: “The Black” Workout

October 18, 2010 in Cardio, Fitness, Full Body Workouts, Workouts

(source) Last Thursday, I hit the track at a local park.  My kettlebells were at home snuggling so I decided to make do with bodyweight only.   It was a perfect morning for a workout grey and misty.  I felt like a racehorse up before dawn for a morning workout.  <=== Next to my junior […]

Move It Monday: Walk this Way

June 27, 2010 in Cardio, Fitness

If the Bodybugg taught me anything, it taught me I have NO patience need to move more.  After wearing it for a few days, it was evident that I’m part slug. Truth be told, I’m sort of sedentary by nature.  Many of my favorite things in life, such as reading, cuddling, writing, thinking, internet surfing […]

Totally Tabata- What is Tabata training?

July 6, 2009 in Cardio

What is Tabata training? For years, I had read references to the “Tabata protocol” but it sounded more like a code of conduct for elite special forces than a way to tighten my butt.  People would rave about how great Tabata was and the skeptic in me would think, “4 minutes…yeah right.”  Finally, I decided […]

Sprinting is good for you.  Or so I’ve read… This weekend I decided to go to the local highschool track to get in a sprint workout in hopes of carving my log-like thighs into something more shapely like tubas.  I was disappointed to find the local track surrounded my 8 foot fences and locked.  So […]
