I finally filmed (and edited with the help of Thing 1) my first workout of the 48 workouts I’m planning to film while we travel this year and uploaded it to my brand new YouTube account. This workout was done in Yosemite National Park overlooking Half Dome about an hour before sunset.  This location is […]

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 […]

Hello!!!! Today is going to be a short post (aren’t most of them…I try anyway ) because I’m on my way out the door to coach my kettlebell class and train clients. First, I wanted to say that today is a The Great Fundraising Act Auction for Susan who was diagnosed with Lymphoma a few […]

Last week, I set some “vacation  goals”. The main goals were to “relax, read, foam roll, and sleep”.  What I didn’t want to do was to make the vacation all about food and come home  almost 10 lbs heavier.  Been there done that and it has never been worth it.  I’m happy to report back […]

If Marie Claire is concerned about the influence of bloggers then they might want to go on a witch hunt for Jillian Michaels as the influence of the blogosphere  is but a drop in the bucket when compared to “America’s Toughest Trainer”. Yesterday, twitter was abuzz with kettlebell enthusiasts tweeting and retweeting the  LA Times […]

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, […]
