“Arkansas” Full Body (Tabata) Kettlebell Workout

February 2, 2012 in Workouts

Brent Kettlebell Swing Arkansas

Good thing my locations are change each week because my outfits don’t. I could only bring so many clothes with me in the RV. I want to say right off hand that I call these Tabata intervals but since there are 4 of them I didn’t go all out each set so they aren’t true […]

“Texas” Workout

January 9, 2012 in Full Body Workouts, Kettlebells, Workouts

Front30Lovely

I’ve worked out at some of uncommon places. That’s the beauty of kettlebells. I’ve worked out in parking lots, in the kitchen, and with dinosaurs. But this was the first time I’ve ever worked out with Texas Longhorns. I have a feeling that it might be my last too. We spent three weeks traveling through Texas. […]

“Indiana” Workout

Jenn Kettlebell Snow

I’m skipping ahead a bit. Texas was the next workout I filmed after New Mexico. But I’m still in the holiday spirit and the last workout I filmed has a holiday feel to it. I mean there are bells. They don’t jingle but they are red. And best of all there is snow. Beautiful white […]

Carlsbad National Park Workout

It hard to put into words how much fun we’ve been having on the road. That’s not to say it’s not without its hard days.  I’ve found myself, once or twice, curled up on Brent’s lap crying my eyes wondering what the heck are we doing. The day we visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park was […]

“Nevada” Workout

November 21, 2011 in Fitness, Full Body Workouts, Kettlebells, Workouts

Desert off of I-40

We left our home in Ventura with almost everything we owned in tow behind us four weeks ago yesterday. It’s been a whirlwind of adventure for sure.  We hadn’t planned to go to Nevada so soon but we had an emergency stop that put us right at the border between Arizona and Nevada. While our […]

“California” Workout

November 15, 2011 in Full Body Workouts, Kettlebells, Workouts

Yosemite Swing

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 […]

Strength. Train. It will change your body and your mind unlike anything else. I’m guessing most of of my readers already know all this but just in case you’re new here. (source) Benefits of Strength Training 1. Helps manage stress.  Nothing calms my nerves like a good lifting session. 2. Improves self-esteem.  I love the […]

A Busy Girl’s Workout Schedule

Kettlbells

Oh dear.  Life feels extra busy right now. (I may or may not be wearing a hat to hide my unwashed hair) I’m sure yours does too. (Your life is probably busy not your hair is dirty.) Does it ever really stop?  The busyness I mean. Brent is shooting a video for a publishing company. […]

Sole Mates – The New Balance Minimus Trail Review and Giveaway

April 28, 2011 in Reviews

New Balance Minimus Sky

If you have read my blog for any length of time you know that I love to workout barefoot.   Not only is it the safest way to lift kettlebells, I love the feeling of my toes digging into the grassy earth.  When it’s warm.  When it’s dry. When it’s clean. Since the ground is […]

Functional Fitness: Just a fad?

March 23, 2011 in Best of GH, Fitness, Full Body Workouts, Kettlebells

(source) Fitness trends change almost as fast as a Forever 21 storefront window and the last few years the use of the phrase “functional fitness” has rivaled the popularity of skinny jeans.  However, unlike skinny jeans, (I’d much rather wear these bell bottoms even if they are high waisted) functional fitness is here to stay like […]
