Today, on a rainy Sunday morning, 12 hearty bootcampers turned out for a kick-start pre-season workout. Great effort was made by all, and special acknowledgement goes to Hannah, my youngest camper, for best attitude. She did it all and with a smile to “boot”! Way to go Hannah! Oh Yeah, that is me in my shoulder [...] 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. 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 [...] 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 [...] Another week of “advanced” kettlebell workouts have passed by too quickly. I have to get used to hearing the word advanced but Dana reminds us that we are indeed advanced. I’ve never been considered advanced at anything resembling working out. I’ve always “worked hard” but that’s different than being advanced. I guess I am [...] I’ve been trying to get caught up on life after a few crazy busy weeks. My plan was to blog about working out when out of town or making time when things just seem to be too busy. But Dana changed that plan. With two killer workouts the last two days, I just have to [...] |
