One from the Buddy pages...

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 [...]

Moving into 2011 Resolution Free

The other night I was sitting there watching football – yes, my favorite time waster – well, it’s not a time waster, it’s actually a very valuable use of time, but anyway, that’s about the one thing I watch and don’t do anything else…Anyway, my outside voice actually said “I miss getting up mornings and [...]

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 [...]

“Advanced” workouts and a little confidence…

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

Remember When…

This morning during Tabata Tuesday, one of the movements was a “V-Up.” When we started Dana said, “Remember when we first started doing these?” Immediately I thought, “Yes, and I remember that I could barely do them.” Actually I think I said that out loud and maybe was speaking for some others, but even so, [...]

A little soreness is good

The saying goes, “No Pain, No Gain.” Right? I like a little pain. Actually it’s a little soreness. It makes me feel like I’ve been working hard and I know for me, it means results.

Today when I woke up, I was definitely sore. Yesterday was an awesome workout. I knew it was a good workout [...]

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 [...]

Who Am I?

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 [...]
