Damage Control That!

Truth is, the Post Thanksgiving Damage Control Workout was GREAT last Friday, but I have to admit, I really didn’t need it. Well, of course, I needed a workout but my Thanksgiving Meal Attack plan, and my Thanksgiving morning workout, which consisted of a five mile run and some time on the elliptical, left me [...]

Kettlebells and Intervals...back-to-back KILLER workouts

Tabata Tuesday!

There’s nothing like a Tabata Tuesday to get me moving in the morning. Tabata’s are one of my favorite workouts that I’ve learned from working out with Dana. After a warm up, quick kettlebell skill work and learning a few new tricks, we move on to the Tabata’s, which is the main part of the [...]

The other morning there was a brief moment when I thought, “Who am I?” First, it was about 6:49 a.m. and I was in an elementary school gym working out (I am not known to be a morning person). Second, I was swinging a kettlebell (a year ago I had no idea what a kettlebell [...]
