Mt. Tabor Summit, 1128 steps plus run. Since November 2011, my training clients and boot camp crew have been meeting every Sunday at 9a.m. to explore and climb the various steep and challenging stairways of Portland. Our first location was Jackson Middle School, to initiate us all into the world of stair running and climbing. [...] Last Sunday marked our 5th consecutive week of stair climbing workouts. Our first 3 workouts were at Jackson Middle School and last 2, for more vertical feet gain, were in NW Portland hills, Summit Stairway, 157 stairs and 91 ft of vertical climb. We climbed for over 1,000 steps and 900ft vertical gain. [...] Join us every Sunday at 9am (beginning November 19th and thru the Holiday season) for a vigorous stair running conditioning workout. Kettlebell exercises are integrated with stair conditioning for an ultimate Sunday eye-opening workout. Classes meet at Jackson Middle School track. All stair workouts are FREE! Now almost 3 weeks post-op from extensive arthroscopic surgery to repair my shoulder (torn labrum from multiple dislocations), I have decided to do the best with what I’ve got.

Not only do you run the risk of over-use injuries due to the repetitive movements, but, let’s face it, predictability is not that [...] The other day, Karen and I (fellow blogger and bootcamper), were chitchatting before or after bootcamp. When we started bootcamp nearly twenty months ago with Dana, I am sure we would have never imagined that we would be having this conversation. We were talking about running. We are both now officially training for half marathons. Yet [...] This is the Kettlebell Bootcamp Blog. And today was a Kettlebell challenge. After a long warm up, it was time for the 400 Benchmark workout – a timed workout which includes the basic movements of the bell. The last time we did this “test” was on November 24th, a little more than two months ago. I [...] Last Friday after bootcamp, I jinxed myself. As we were leaving, Dana said, “You have three days off.” I gave her a look that said yea, right and she corrected herself, “You have three days off from bootcamp but remember to do something each day – you have your workouts…” I left thinking I’d do [...] How many of you are already struggling to keep your health and fitness goals for the New Year? Or, how many of you are just looking for coaching, guidance and structure? Or, what about that accountability factor? I have it for you! Kettlebell Boot Camp (KBBC) is a heart-pumping cardio workout and strength training workout that [...] Resolutions are in full force. So I avoided the gym (and the crowds) and headed to the local high school track to get a good workout in today. Fortunately, I have a notebook full of workouts from Dana and went to the buddy workout section as today I had a buddy with me. This particular one [...] |
