Hope you had a great weekend. We celebrated my grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary. The week before we celebrated my other set of grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary as well.  I’m so grateful to not only have all four of my grandparents still with us but to have such wonderful examples of loving marriages in  my life. Here […]

I did it. I finally bought the shoes that look like feet. Vibram Five Fingers Or sometimes known as frog shoes. Or just shoes that look like feet. I’ve been working out barefoot for over three years now. When I can’t workout barefoot,  I wear a thin soled shoe like Converse or my New Balance […]

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 […]

While traveling the country fulltime in a RV allows me to do kettlebell workouts in some pretty amazing locations like on the top of a mountain in Yosemite or next to the aquamarine waters in the Florida Keys, most of my workouts take place in less “magical locations” like Texas Longhorn pastures. Since I no […]

Are you busy with bbqs and fireworks the Fourth of July but looking to get in a quick kettlebell workout? This workout is perfect for days when you are short on time but want to get something in. I filmed this workout right in the heart of our nation, Washington DC and the top rung […]

I’m taking a break from my beginner kettlebell routine this week and posting a more advanced workout video. The first half of the workout starts with a kettlbell complex that is repeated four times on each side. I’m not sure what was going on but when I did my left high pull I found out my shoulder […]

I’m still doing my kettlebell workout for beginners series but didn’t get a chance to post a workout last week as I was struggling with depression. If you’ve known me or read my blog for any length of time you know depression is something I deal with from time to time. As always working out, especially outdoors, lifts my […]

Keeping up with my kettlebell routine on the beach on Hattteras National Seashore in North Carolina felt like doing a workout at home in Ventura, California. Almost. We don’t have the tallest lighthouse in North America. Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed or I would have made that part of my workout. Although something tells me […]
